Well, we spent all day in lab today covering the basics of physical assessment....Of course being a male, it became obvious my female partner wasn't going to let me listen to posterior lung sounds in class, as everyone's around. My only problem is I pretty much live alone, so am thinking about carrying stethoscope everywhere I go, just in case I'm with friends and can whip out, "say, let me hear your lungs/heart..."
Am kinda freaking about return demo as we MUST have it done before clinicals in 5 weeks, not sure who I can do it with(am thinking about calling member of the clinical group), and not sure what the correct conversational procedure is. I can memorize the steps, but the conversation is freakin me a little!
Going out to school tomorrow to watch a bunch of required clinical videos, and an actual video of the assessment process(done by last year's students), am hoping it allevates some fears....
On an employment note, I have a second interview next week at a major DD home employer.....Crossing fingers, job works well with school as shift is 4-12, and only major problem is getting up on R and F morning, outside of that, no issues. Every other aspect works....
Thanks, just had to vent a little....I'm almost thinking if I'm even meant to be a nurse....LOL(does every guy feel this way?)
