Almost Done!

The end of this week brought to a close 2 of my classes. Skills Lab and Clinical. By the grace of God, countless prayers and an unknown mystery of how I got this far have allowed me to accomplish this feat. It is huge, but I still have so much more to go.

• I had one last thing to do in Skills Lab. That was my final physical assessment. I brought in my little brother Cory and assessed him. I ended up with a 99%. I had lost two 1/2 points. One half point was cuz I didn't have my hands positioned correctly while doing a Thyroid Assessment and the other half was another position error, while percussing the Patellar Reflex. All in all I was very happy with my score. It ensured my A for the semester in that class. YAY! My prof was so impressed by my exam that she said she wished she could've taped it for future semesters cuz it was so well done. Not to gloat, but I was proud. Take that Dr. Divis!!
• I finished out Clinical with a blue paper of death. On Thursday I took my Pharmacology ATI test and all but 2 people walked out of it with the blue paper of death. Which means:  YOU FAILED!!! I got a 58%. Whoops! It was so frickin hard! To fix the problem I had to practice at home then retake it. I did that right away on Thursday and finished it.
• To finish off Clinical about an hour and a half after receiving the blue slip of death I had Simulations! Sims is the greatest way to make you crap your pants. In 1st Semester you actually get your scenarios and can practice. Not so in the other semesters. Well I had Mrs. Sugar who couldn't breathe and needed insulin. I kinda flubbed up a bit when I was drawing up my insulin and contaminated my needle, but threw it out and got a new one. Then I totally forgot to do some education. I ended up losing 4 points with a 90%. My reaction when I was told: "Works for me." I ended Clinical with an A- for a final grade. Not too shabby!
• Pharmacology gave me my last quiz. 98%. I also submitted my final worksheet. Of course there is one messed up question where you can't get it right and it ticks me off. Oh well. Just a final left in that class and I'm done.
• Fundamentals will make or break my semester. I have an 82.5% test average, which means if I don't get at least an 80% on my Final, I'll most likely fail the class. If I fail, I will have to retake it, not move on to 2nd Semester and not be guaranteed to get into 2nd Semester next fall. Pray for me. It would suck to get this far and fail. I've got a lot of studying to do.

I have 2 days of classes left. 2 days of taking 2 finals. I need to do this. Otherwise I'll be a FAILURE!!
Oh and Happy Birthday to me! I'm really old now!

It decided to snow yesterday. Yuck!

16 Weeks Completed! 2 Days & 3 Semesters to go!
