One step at a time.

The load on my shoulders is now a little less. Turned in my case study paper that I have been working on for weeks. Hoping I get a good grade on it. Not sure how this teacher grades papers. Now on to my case study paper for psych.
Have some quizzes and test coming up, the dates keep getting move and it's starting to get annoying. I keep trying to take one step at a time so I don't get overwhelmed.
Psych was really intersing today. The patients had all been addicts. It was interesting hearing there stories. For alot of them it wasn't there first time there. Really makes me put my life into perspective.
Back to work tonite. Have to meet with my group tommorrow. We are doing a health fair. Our goal is to educate the public on cardiovascular diseases.Oh what fun.
Hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful weather.

Down to the Wire

Now that the semester is almost over. About a month and a half left. Everything is coming to a head. Some may paper. projects, quizzes and test. I feel like they should spread out assignments more evenly. As the weather starts getting warmer, I want to be outside more. I can't because of all the assignments due. I might just go crazy with cabin fever. Lol. Ironic since I had my psych clinical today. I didn't get to see anything but treatment team meeting. By the time I got out of that the kids were is school all day, I was on the adolescent.Then I had my respiratory demo which I passed.
I'm, just about done my case study paper done for medsurg. It is do on Friday. For once I am not procrastinating. I am so proud of myself. I guess this is part of becoming an adult. Now I just have some little assignments i want to tackle tonite.
Summer cant come soon enough. Cant wait for long summer nights spent laying under the stars. My last summer as an undergrad. I'm gonna live it up before I have to tackle the real world!!!!!

Naughty Girl

I've been such a bad girl. I have not posted in close to a month. I give my deepest apologies. My Internet was not working which kept me from posting regularly, now its on and popping. Lol.
Been super busy with school. I have about a month and a half left in the semester and its really getting down to the nitty gritty. I have a pharm test this week and my med surg paper is due. I'm doing my paper on atrial fibrillation and it is really working my brain. I probably should have chose something easier like heart failure.
I finally got to go into the ER, after being canceled twice because of the snow storms. It was kinda boring until the last 40 minutes and then an older gentlemen came in in respiratory depression. They had to do CPR and everything. Another student was with me from a different college and they grabbed her to put in a foley in the middle of CPR. I thanked god it wasn't me. I would have been so nervous under all that pressure. She did a good job.
Hope everyone is enjoying the gorgeous weather. I have to work and will be studying most of he weekend. Oh, the sacrifices we make for nursing school.

Hot Pink


PASSED my cardio test in med-surg. Sooo happy. Had a pharmacology test today, don't think I did to well. Put off studying and then I had to cram at the last minute. Definitely not a good idea. I have my first psych test on wed. Kinda nervous because I don't know how her test are.
Cant wait for spring break next week. Not going anywhere special. Getting some extra hours in at work, catching up on studying, and hopefully getting my case study paper completed.
On a brighter note. My stethoscope came in the mail today. Love it. Wanted to get my name engraved on it, because I heard sometimes the nice stethoscope's can "walk" away on the units. The site I got it from didn't offer engraving. Maybe another time.
Hope everyone had a good weekend.
