This morning began with a med/surg theory examination. These tests are kind of hard, because they are the NCLEX-style questions that have more than one right answer and you have to choose the BEST right answer. And, I still feel like I don't like any of the answers sometimes. It's kind of a weird place to be in, because sometimes, too, there are three answers that I like bits and pieces of OR that I would do all at the same time (i.e. assess a patient's respiratory status AND level of consciousness).
In any case, I feel like this examination went far better than the first. In fact, I thought it was pretty easy. Although my classmates seem to disagree... Most were saying this test was too hard. Perhaps at the end of a very long, trying week, it should have seemed harder to me, also.
Oh well. Lecture was fun today, although for the most part, it still feels like a review of pathophysiology, with a bit more added on in terms of how to care for a person with specific issues.
Hmm.. something I forgot to mention about yesterday -- I had my check-offs for placing an IV. Serves me right for not staying right on top of my blogging every day!
Overall, the check-off went really well. I had the crazy professor that I am just sort of starting to like. Again. She's kind of growing on me, although I couldn't really tell you why. She said I did really well, and I only missed half a point for not filling the drip chamber BEFORE I primed the line. And, instead of just getting one critical thinking question, I ended up getting four. How fun for me. I suppose she just asks me so many questions because she knows I know stuff. Maybe. Who knows.
Overall, though, it has been a great week. I will be spending my weekend working on homework--I've got a presentation next week that I am not really looking forward to, and since my partner and I will be working on that, we will also spend some time working on our professional paper. I am hoping to work some on my database/concept map/care plan/teaching plan (yes, that's all one assignment) and my current event presentation. But, we shall see. I think maybe I will bake pies for my class on Monday now, seeing as how we have a pot luck on Wednesday. That is a much better opportunity to take in my home-made pumpkin pies!!
And, in keeping with my gratitude thingie, today I am thankful that my IV check-off is, in fact, finished and I don't have that hanging over me until Monday afternoon. Huzzah!!
