Bed bath hell

Ok so a bed bath isnt hard right? Well it is when you get marked off at a skills test for say forgeting to do things in the correct order or forgetting to get something.

Our bed bath skills test is next week and we have 40 minutes to complete a full bed bath/ skin assesment at the same time and then make the occupied bed.

40 minutes! of your every move being examined!

Its so crazy, Im usually the only one freaked out ( I think) but in nursing school you look around and everyone is terrified. Visibly terrified.

So anyway thats just part of going to nursing school I guess, I'll live. Maybe.

Ive just been like a deer frozen in headlights ever since school started last week.

I'm so glad it went okay, congrats!! Our instructers set up 6 stations, including bed bath and changing bed linens today, so we could all practice. Our check-off isn't until 9-12, but I'm sure it will go by fast. There are a lot of steps, I'm going to practice, practice, practice!! There are a lot in my class that just rush through the practice time so they can go home faster. Crazy people, I want all the practice I can get!
