Sorry, not a drug book for monday...I meant for use in general. The hospital has drug books for our clinical group the CI said...and we have our drug cards. I'm just trying to avoid buying stuff right now...I'm too dang poor.
Before I had my own drug book, I borrowed one from the college library.

That's a good idea. I'm just not getting any financial aid now and I'm tapped financially. I'm just trying to wait until I can work over summer some and save up some money to buy some of the other stuff I'll need. Thanks Katie!

you will need a drug book for your care plans definitely, though, check your local half price book store. sometimes you get lucky. I got mine on amazon used.
Well, day one of clinical is over! It wasn't a bad day for me, but not so great for others it seems. I'm just glad to have the first one done...I feel alot more comfortable about it now.

I definitely feel like I learned a lot!
Yes, lots of learning. Spill...how did yours go?
What hospitals are you guys at, did you have to write careplans yet? Im glad you enjoyed it
We were at Mesquite which is not the greatest hospital, but I did enjoy it. I got to help with several patients. We have not really done careplanning yet. I think we are going to start that the week we get back from spring break. I was lucky and had a nice nurse, but alot of the nurses there seem really grumpy.
sadly the grumpy nurses seem to be every where , but nice one's too.

Well, it was an eventful day. I did learn a lot. I spent time with several different pts, just observing. My initial pt was discharged (the one I spent all night working on their careplan) My 2nd pt. had a pending case of possible Menningitis...so that was a definite NO NO for me to assist with. Then I just assisted some of my classmates with their pts. Later on I ended up with a lovely pt and I did my HA and vitals with her. I was exhausted, by lunch time! I think because I spent so much of my energy having anxiety and just being plain terrrified. :uhoh21:
I'm glad I have one day down. Not sure if I will be less anxious the second go around, but at least I can remind myself I survived one day, I can do it again.
Anyone doing anything cool for spring break?
