Next week: exams on med-term (pass/fail) and for physical assessment, and we're learning Foley catheterization for checkoff the following week.
CONGRATULATIONS! Way to go! Those first few tests are very nerve wracking! For me the skills were the most difficult, because I worked full-time nights while I was in school, I didn't get the skill-labs time that others got. So I seemed to always be struggling. Thank goodness my instructors knew I had a full-time job and although they of course wanted you to do the skills correctly they also offered extra practice time so that I had the support I needed. I still feel grateful for that!

Again! Great job! Keep up the good work! Perhaps now you can relax a little bit and try to have some fun!!
