Another snow day

Snowed in yet again on a day I am supposed to shadow in the ER. Spent the day studying for pharmacology, painting my nails, and watching the Golden Girls, the best show ever. I know every episode word for word. It's actually kinda sad.
I ordered a new stethoscope yesterday, in HOT pink. Having trouble hearing heart sounds with mine. Being I'm on a telemetry floor I felt it was a benefit to get another one. I always said I would wait to get a more expensive one when I graduated but I just couldn't wait. Had a psych quiz yesterday, did pretty good.
I also passed my cardiac demo yesterday. I had to do an assessment of the heart. It was pretty easy since I just had my cardiac test and was studying my brains out for it. Planned to spend the rest of the evening snowed in. Might even be snowed in tomorrow too. Plan to get alot of work done. I've been procrastinating alot lately which is def. not good.

One foot in front of the other

I have such poor blogging etiquette. Sorry its been awhile since I blogged. I'm going to try and blog on Mondays and Thursdays and add extra if I have the time. Yesterday was my cardiac test in medsurg. It was one of the worst test I have ever taken. I felt so prepared before the test and then I started second guessing myself after it began. Should get our grades at the end of this week. So nervous. Had clinical this morning. Nothing big happened there. On Thursday I'm in the ER since last time I was scheduled we had a snow storm. So much to do this week and next week before spring break. A cardiac assessment demo, case study rough draft, pharm test, psych test, and process recording. Not enough hours in each day. Soooo much studying to get done. Just taking one step at a time and putting one foot in front of the other. Hope everyone had a good day.

When it rains it pours

Feeling so overwhelmed this week. Having problems with my car. My first med surg test is coming up and the cardiovascular system is nerve wrecking. I need to finish up this careplan and I have a process recording due by the end of the week. When it rains it pours. What doesn't kill you will make you stronger. The added stress may give you heart problems though!Lol! Guess I am learning something about the cardiovascular system.
On a brighter note, I had the best valentines day. My boy toy treated me like a princess with dinner at the best little spanish restaurant. The sangria definitely relaxed me. Plus jewelry, what more could a girl ask for. It was a much needed break to take my mind of school.
I wish I could buy back time. There never seems to be enough hours in the day and days in the week. Many people tell me when I look back on my college years I will miss them. Those people must not have been nursing majors.

Snow Day !!!!!

Like the majority of the northeast, I spent the day snowed in. Schools closed and the area is in a state of emergency. Did I complain no, because no school today = no medsurg test on Monday = more time to study. I did study a little, but spent most of the day watching movies and snuggling up with my doggy, Johnson and shopping online. I hope to spend the rest of the evening being more productive, working on a care plan and studying the exciting world of the conduction system of the heart. The Dysrhythmmias section made me fall asleep earlier today. I am hoping for better studying later. I have to do this studying now so I can do what I want to do when I graduate.
Get to observe in the ER tomorrow, which I'm kinda excited for. Hoping to see something more then kids with the sniffles.
Hope everyone enjoyed there day and kept warm.

My life for the rest of the semster

Sorry for lack of posting. School and work have been contolling my life. On a brighter note I recieved a 4.0 on my first pharm exam, soooo happy. On a less brighter note, I had a med surg quiz the same day, and I'm pretty sure I failed it.
It's such a struggle to keep up with all the reading for lecture and then the assignments for clinical. I'm trying my best. I have a medsure exam in about a week and Im super nervous because we only have 2 tests in the class. Which means less room for failure. Praying I could make it through this semester and pass. I need summer to come asap.
