This is kinda long - but I thought some might find it interesting.
Well test the 1st day (I think I established that on a couple of threads).
Class is 8 in one & 27 in mine. ONE GUY:D , bless his heart. People in the class for the most part are real nice. Though I am concerned w/ one lady - she came out of the bathroom stall, was STILL pulling up her pants & did not wash her hands
:stone I would think HYGIENE would teach her that.
Day 2 - did 2 chapters, introduced ourselves.
Day 3 TEST! Cried my eyes out b/c I thought I did bad BUT, made a B!
Day 3 - Got fitted for uniforms. I LIKE THEM. And, I can wear a small . Went over hygiene. Watched movie. Addressed the class about taking photo's & that this "nursing school" meant a lot to me & that I was going to keep a scrap book. THEY LOOKED AT ME LIKE I WAS THE GOODY-GOODY FROM GREASE (remeber her, w/ the long ponytail that bounced around & was just too happy). It was like their faces were "HUH" - "why"
Day 5 - "discussed" bedbaths & bed making - tried it, & THAN watch movie on them. AND was told we have a test on how to make beds & bathing on Wed. And we have a test on Tuesday as well.
OK - problems I have encountered. 2 young "chickies" drive me nuts. Woman who didn't wash her hands will NOT practice on me giving shots! The teacher did not "demonstrate" on how to give a bath or make the bed." I am a visual learner & she just paired us up w/ people who were CNA's. WELL, they do it differently in the real world, not what you are going to be tested on. So, I think that this is a potential problem. Classes start too early & there is NO room to park. And doctor put me on a medication called Strattera. Umm - maybe I am like that girl on Grease:o
Everything else is GREAT. Love being in school & not having to work. Love our uniforms & we get to wear a cap. Love our teachers - just wish they would show us first. Hope I graduate.
Hope you enjoyed my week. I did, but I am tired.
