So the weather was so awful school was cancelled from Monday- Wednesday…. I did get some studying done and a couple assignments turned in at a local cafe but I feel like this whole week has been a bust as far as school goes. Now we will be cramming and making up time for at least a couple weeks, and it’s still Sub zero temperatures.
This week I will stay in the appartment with some class mates Monday -Thurs and here’s the over view. Psych Lab and a med surg quiz right off the bat. I have assessments on the clinical floor tues and presenting an article. Wed more clinicals. Then case studies are due Thursday and I better review a couple skills for instructor observation…. After a long day of back to back classes Thursday I go straight to work and will try to do some of the care plan the next 2 nights on any down time. Sunday should (hopefully) be a family day and Monday will roll around again for Med surg test #1.
I just want to get through this…. I did apply for graduation this week and it is encouraging that week 3 is over (even if we didn’t learn much). I can tell I have come a long way towards the knowledge I need as an RN since the beginning of last semester, but I did fail an exam for the first time yesterday. Leadership class has been interesting so far and it’s neat to learn about the history of nursing tying into modern practices the role of a nurse and effective management. Our teacher (the clinical instructor that gave me such a hard time last semester) asked me (in class) what his preferred management style was and I told him dictatorship. He said “dictatorship????!” And the whole class started laughing because there’s a bit of Truth in it and he knew it too. Gotta call it like I see it.
I need to hurry up on the portfolio for that class…..
Well there are 14 weeks left to school and 2 of those are mostly holiday. Gotta love America.
