Today we had clinicals!  Another good experience!  I just wish I had more knowlege and less anxiety.

Last Thursday, we got stuck in the elevator at Clinicals.  I was really thinking we are going to die in the elevator at TMH.  Then the next day I go to Crisper to meet a girlfriend for lunch.  We were sitting on the patio and a lady passed out.  I did not see her pass out because my back was to her.   I ended up calling 911. I was prepared to answer all the questions the operator asked me.  It turns out she had a procedure at the oupatient surgery center and had just been released.   I have not been sleeping very well because of a variety of reasons.  Friday night, I am about to dose off and my neighbor calls me because one of friends is out of town and his seventeen year daughter is having a party!  I'm thinking I just want to sleep!  I think my sleep has finally improved.   Maybe I will be a little easier to be around!

Today is the day before our second clinicals and the day of our first midterm in nursing school.  I feel like so much is happening so fast.  I am very nervous about tomorrow and was nervous about today.  I hopefully am ready to give a bath tomororrow.  It is so nice to have met so many nice and supportive people.  I feel very fortunate to be where I am!  Tonight my ll year old runs cross country. I am thrilled to be able to see him run tonight!

Day Before First Clinicals

Today I took the math test over and the first quiz.  I also think I figured out how to post a new blog but not without the guidance of Ms. Damelio. I think I may have 3 blog sites but hopefully this is my official one.  I am a little nervous about clinicals especially the vital signs part.  I have been practicing on everyone that comes in the door.  I had 2 new victims today.

I am becoming more stressed becuase I can't even figure the correct way to blog. I am also thinking about taking my math test again, taking the quiz tomorrow and taking blood pressures. I am surprised I always seem a step behind. I haven't even included family responsibilities in the mix. All I can do is do my best and take one day at a time!

I am feeling a little inadequate at this moment. I feel like I am always a step behind! I am having to give myself frequent peptalks. I am finding that I am either bouncing all over the place or very low energy. I am worried about the math test that I have to retake tomorrow, this blog assinment, the quiz tomorrw and my blood pressure taking issue. I am not even thinking about my family responsibilites at all. I am just going to do my best.
