summary of the last two day
- tube feeding - a lot of PO meds - dilaudid - a couple injections - hanged a few IVs - did a bed bath and hygiene - my patient was put into isolation so i was patient-free for today (did not want to be) - another patient told me i had nice hair (not included in this statement is that he was probably suffering from a bit of confusion. ok. a lot of confusion) - inserted an IV for the first time...

activities of the past few days
i had patient care starting this week. tuesday, i had a female patient. i’ve never had a female patient so that was a new experience. but, she was a sweet old lady who was very understanding. she got discharged later that day so i ended up getting assigned to a new patient for wednesday.
my new patient was a cancer survivor who had some pretty bad diseases. he was in chronic pain and was...

jenna,
i forgot about your text till right now. sorry! but anyways, were you ever really planning on going to a samahan meeting? lol
and yes, chemistry is a bitch but it’ll get better from there. it’s chemistry any other semester you take it so might as well get it over with now. at least that was my philosophy? ;)
(and it pretty much has no relevance to anything we do in nursing school....

guest speaker in public health class.
paramedic: she was 10 months pregnant. last i heard, you can only go up to 9. so she started yelling at me to "get it out! get it out!" and i told her "i didn't put it in!"
So i'll let you go.
I'll set you free.
And when...
i feel stagnant.
dumb bitch moment of the day
me: (@ the atm) M, why isn't my card coming out!? i've been waiting for like 2 minutes!
J: uh, for me i didn't even put my card in - i just inserted and withdrew quickly.
me: (looks at credit card in wallet) oh. yeah, let's not mention this. ever.
i'm really nervous/excited to start clinical...
not at all excited to have my alarm wake me up at 4:45 am to make it by 6:30 to La Jolla though. and! my first public health lecture tomorrow after clinical (if i make it back to campus on time)
