Specializes in Ortho, Neuro, Detox, Tele.

Getting up tomorrow morning and going to watch 3-4 hours of required clinical videos and video of last year's students doing a physical assessment EXACTLY how we will be required to return demo it....then coming home, cleaning house, running to laundromat(but am rewarding myself my taking my Rolling Stone, not books)....If everything done, my reward will be watching the Notre Dame football game.

Sunday- Cleaning house, Reading required chapters for next week(theory and lab), doing outlines, practice auscultation sites on self(is this possible? am having some problems), Reward may be going to see Wicker Man at a matinee on Monday & going to see grandmother on Sun afternoon.

Monday-Studying for test on Thursday, Seeing said movie(hopefully), and relaxing....may decide to go to local powerboat nationals race, but not sure yet. (holiday, traffic, parking, etc...), maybe just relaxing at the college as the river is right next to campus(i can see it from library's windows). Planning for Tuesday night computer class I start teaching as a volunteer with MI adults....

BTW, I am already learning how school will impact families. Stepmom's big family reunion is every Labor Day, and I would have loved to gone. However, knowing how much I have to do, and the $$ I just spent on car repairs, and the fact I know NO studying would occur down there...had to do the responsible thing to me and pass on the invite. Will have to go have dinner with family on Friday though....

STUDY, STUDY AND MORE STUDYING.

I have a check out on Tuesday afternoon(move pt up in bed w/without a draw sheet; get patient up to side of bed; ambulate with transfer belt; back in bed to lateral positioning.) I was to do this and pass it last week, but I freaked out big time and forgot half the steps!:uhoh21: I feel like an idiot! The instructor just stopped me and told me I would have to make another appointment to do it another time.:nono: So embarrassing too. So this weekend I've been practicing with my nine year old daughter as the patient. I keep writing the steps over & over. Plus I have 3 other chapters to read and outline....So, I'll be studying, studying, studying.

Did I mention I would be studying?

My "break" for the weekend is a mini-family reunion. I'm taking my stethoscope & blood pressure cuff and have already told everyone "free blood pressure checks for all". That way I'll get some practice in on that skill.

That's my weekend!
