Legit

It's the end of week 2 and I survived (kinda). What did I do?

• Read a shit ton more homework
• Finished all my worksheets (some better than others)
• Find out I actually did better than what the computer said since the prof goes back and fixes the computer errors. Samantha I, Blackboard O!
•  Bought my stethoscope. I really had no choice in the color matter. I needed one and there was no time to order it online. My choices were the display model which was bubblegum barbie pink, uh I'll pass (display models are not for me) or the clear pink one which is what I ended up buying. If I really don't like it I'll just order one off of amazon and it will be Yellow.

My clear pink stethoscope!

Here's Volume I, but Volume II is nowhere to be found :(

• All of my books are FINALLY here, and I went through them just to make sure and realized that my Med-Surg book, which is a 2 volume book only came with volume 1. So I have to send that one back and order a new one. At least I get my money back!

• Tested out of 2 more skills this week: Apical Pulse and 2-Step Blood Pressure!
• This weekend is a holiday weekend so there is no school Monday which I don't have class anyway so it doesn't matter. To make things better, there's some teacher thing on Tuesday so I have no class on Tuesday! I have a week off of classes!!! 
• I have my first quiz on Wednesday and have no idea how to study for it. This could be painful!
• I got my Varicella booster yesterday and my TB skin test placed. The nurses at Ruth Gilfrey suck. I know they are very cheap vaccinations, but they suck at giving immunizations. After my catastrophic time last month I still had a bad experience. The varicella hurt like hell and it's swelled up again and looks nasty. The TB was interesting too. She didn't know how to take the sub-dermal needle out of my skin because my skin was separating from my arm. Instead of pulling it out of my skin sideways she pulled straight up. Woman where the hell did you go to school?!? No fun!

•  Even though I had a bad experience, at least my health work is done!! Now I just have to go back and get my TB checked tomorrow and as there's no bump today it's highly unlikely the bump will come back and test positive.  

Finally, why do I call my post Legit? Because yesterday we had our photos taken for our Clinical ID's and my skills lab prof said that we are now Legit Nursing Students! I hope things are still going good next week, as I don't feel so overwhelmed this week as I had last week.

I'm Legit and have a huge shadow on my face (but everyone's did :)
