Review

The semester is ending quickly and boards are coming up in March. "Somewhere" I have heard that if you are prepared you will have no fear but.... because I have never before taken even one exam let alone THREE exams that are so detrimental to my education, career, life, etc., I am fearful.  I am anxious, nauseous, worried and scared.   The worst part about it is that I know I could work harder at my studies but I don't because I am either too confident in my abilities or too distracted by everyday wants and needs.  

Well I don't have a great solution but I guess I am just going to have to start now and take one day at a time.  I have 108 days to get myself prepared.  I have even fewer days to be taught everything I need to know.  And for the first time last Tuesday I felt like a professor finally showed me what I have to do to clean a 3 or 4, aka a challenging patient.  That was the first time....from here on, I am going to have to demand more attention because none of them realize how little instruction I have received.

Desensitization Lab

I am hoping we can get some pictures online pretty soon. Lab this morning was hilarious and very educational. I ripped my lab coat. I'll save the details for the day I get the pictures up.

H1N1

I got my swin flu shot! hooray.

Presentations

Today I presented patient education for Diabetes.  I dressed up...who knows why.  I was blonde with long braids and a southern accent.  Okay so I just say a commercial on tv for downy softness laundry detergent and a woman in a onesie walking down the grocery aisle came across the screen.  That is beautiful.  I want a onesie. But I want one with the footies included.
