Ok, so last week 'snowballed'... yep, the challenge and intensity I was expecting a month ago... The difference is the patient care and documentation that we started last week. The documenting of the nursing diagnosis and interventions took a lot longer than I expected. And my expectations of myself are SO high that I was pretty critical and hard on me. If you find your self in these shoes- the day that the textbook and real world collide right in front of your very eyes is a difficult pill to swallow. The instructors have been telling us that textbook and real world are different- but seeing it and experiencing it with your own eyes is way different.
I am enjoying it though! Monday morning is like the calm before the storm. Once I'm on my way to pharmacology class at 2 pm on Mondays- its all down hill and it's Friday before I know what happened! I did most of my reading for the week, and started my lab assignments, but I can now anticipate the time I won't have this week and it is more important now to be a step ahead on the reading and assignments. The other stuff I've got going this week revolves around my loans, scholarships, and course requirements/counseling. It's all necessary but not fun work...
Second theory exam was Thursday. The study guide review sessions are a MUST! Most of the students scored an A on the second exam and the lowest score was an 80. I think the test was created a little easier- and there were 3 extra credit questions to help out. So, I scored 100% on that one. I missed one and got all the extra credit- but the instructor capped the score at 100. Next week (Monday) will be our next Pharm exam... definitely need to spend a little more time studying for that one... and this weekend coming up is busy too... looks like its time to adjust to a little less sleep to get it all done.
