Keep on truckin...

Just a quick little update - last week was pretty intense (and I didn't even have a test...but just a lot of written work...). I was kind of having a breakdown, but never really got to that point. I think that it was catching up with everyone, seeing that about 5 people at least just spontaneously bawled. :(

But now this week went by a lot better - I had a midterm in psych and this next week is my last time at the children's psych facility. :( I really like it there and am sad to leave. Adult health is going pretty well. My mid-term eval is next week for that, so we will see how it goes. This last week was my first time to have 2 patients. It was definitely more crazy since it was double the amt of work. It's hard to see myself being a "real" nurse and having 5 pts!! I will get there slowly.

I did my first Foley the other day. A little awkward because the guy started out by saying, "Yeah, I wanted a nursing student to do it, because they will always remember me as their first..." Way to start that off!! hahaha. So I need to go and do a mental status eval write-up on my pt from the other day.

Oh and p.s. we are already done with week 8. Starting week 9 already! We are also registering for classes in about a week too - excited about parent/child class next semester!!! :)
