flu mist!

So this morning I had to wake up at 3 in the morning. Unfortunately my alarm clock didn't go off until I found out it was quarter to 4. I was 10 minutes late to where I was supposed to be at the gym. I wasn't in serious trouble or anything, but this is the second time I've been screwed by my alarm. I paid attention to what was wrong with it in the first place so I wouldn't have it happen again.

My whole platoon and the senior platoon gave flu mist intranasal shots from about 5-12:30. There were tons of soldiers, marines, navy and air force personnel. there were six people to a table and we'd get a bunch of people directed to us. People were moving fast, but the time seemed to move extremely slow. I took breaks in between for about 10 minutes eating donuts and oreo cookies while I was at it. When ever the crowds started dying down we cracked jokes for a minute or two until the next few people come in to our lanes. It was a pretty tiring day. But we got out at around 1pm. I took a nap afterwards

Exam 6

So today I took the 6th block of testing on the GI system. It went fairly well. I passed with my normal average 82%. I brought my ipod this time to pass the time. It was raining hard outside. After the last class that day, we ended up having an issue about the scores having to be recalculated because the server messed up on the other end. I already knew I passed so it wasn't a big deal. At first there were 13 failures, narrowed down to 7. Most people had issues regarding whether or not their answers were credited for. I haven't had any trouble with the tests, I go through them 3 times to check answers. We waited until around 5:30 to confirm the test scores.

Nine West

So I've been workin up in 9 west in the Med/surg ward. We have some pretty interesting patients. None of them are long term care. Most of them get discharged within 24 hours. It's a lot busier on this floor and there's a lot of things to learn. I haven't handed out medications yet. But there's still enough time before we leave that I can hand them out. I had one patient with hemodialysis and one patient out of post surgery this week. I got to work with a few RN's which was great help.
