The bane of my existence and the reason for a less than perfect score on my 2nd OB Exam. Will know later today what the official verdict is.
***update***
Damn math, yes that was the only 1 I got wrong... so damn close to a 100%. If only I had had looked over the math problems before class as I had planned. It was a really easy question too and I missed the original ml the med came in, those damn dilution questions are tricky! LOL Oh well an A is still an A.

Let's get this show on the road...
Last day of Med/Surg Clinical... the day I have been dreading. IR aka Interventional Radiology, home of the IV starts! Time to get over my fear and nervousness and drop some IVs like they were easy peasy!
*** update***
Two for two... IVs that is :-) Had a blast today, it's like Pre-Op, OR, and PACU all rolled into 1. MY FAV!! Of course that means that I ran around like crazy today. Boy am I exhausted!
I now have to meet with the trainer at 6 and because I don't have clinical tomorrow I said I would work, but man I am soooo tired already! Although if anything were to give it'd be the trainer right now, cuz I am happily losing right now without his or the gyms help and am OK with that too!

Echo Heron
Love her books. I have two on my Nook right now. One I read prenursing school and one I picked up last night to aide in my careplan procrastination and to try and keep me awake during my 12 hour NOC shift.

Careplan Hell
Yeah that is how my weekend will be spent. God I did not miss this! Yuck. Urgh... procrastination is all up in my grill over this. LOL
Ok I must go cook dinner and get ready for work, while trying to think about what I want to put on this waste of a paper!

Dreaded Questions Begin Again...
Question 1.) How do you study?
1. Effectively apparently but my methods won't help much. Are you doing NCLEX questions? If not do them.
Question 2.) Can you send me your notes?
Nope that would require me typing them out, and I don't type out my notes because I honestly type without thinking about what it is I am typing. I type on auto pilot. Why? Because I had to learn how to do it fast and without looking at the keyboard in order to get a million purchase orders typed in every day for 10 years.
I write my notes out in my notebook in a weird format, that no I will not explain to you, because once again, my methods may not work for you to study by.
Question 3.)Can I call you when I have questions?
Sure and if I am home and or answering my phone that day I will be more than happy to help you out. I will meet you a little before class or stay a little after class to help, but I will not make a special trip to campus on my day off to tutor. I honestly do not have enough time right now to do that. I AM TIRED!
Question .)Are you in a study group?
No I don't do groups!

OB Exam #1
16/17 94% Apparently there was 1 question tossed out because there were 18 questions on the exam to start with.
We only have 54 possible points in each section this term. So our OB section is made up of 3 exams at 18 each guess there will be an extra one on the next exam.
Next exam is next Wed the 27th and the last exam and the end of OB lecture is July 5th.

Has caused my feet to swell despite the 50 mg of Hydrochlorathiazide... hummm did I spell that right? Anyway, I have also been battling a UTI or something for about a week to no avail. Not that you needed to know that, but both have been pretty distracting this week.
Anyway, 1 more day of clinical at the VA. I so far have actually have had a pretty good run at it, so not too bad. Had to give a "shift" report in post conference on my patient, hahaha, like I haven't done that before. I like to see that surprised look on our instructors face when she realizes that we actually know something. So anyway I was passing meds with the LPN, oh joy right, like I haven't done that before, I like their MAR way better though,scan scan scan. So he pulls out a med for a pt and is like, " oh not sure what that med is", and hits the look up feature on the EMAR, I like that function better! So, anyway I told him what the med was prior to the search engine hitting it's mark, but yeah, Pharm has become sorta a strong point for me, in a way, I mean I can't tell you exactly what class every med is in, but I can tell you what they are used for.
Ok off to take the first OB exam. I tried to study, I really did. But alas, I really just did a quick overview of my notes, did the studymate exercises and practiced a few IV calculation problems last night. The test material I hope is still in my brain, because Labor and Delivery is NOT a new concept to me and I remembered a lot of it, I just kept losing focus.
Well wish me luck, cuz if I bomb, it will totally be my fault!
