well i guess it's my time to roll with this cpne thing...i will be leaving for the dreaded hour drive about 12 pm tomorrow...i know my mnemonics and don't ready feel much stress actually if you want to know the truth i am kind of mad cause i cant get my 30 min phone call from a adviser ..they say there are none available to talk to before i take this darn thing...i only need one call to clear up some loose ends... i am a very determined and take control person so i hope i can pull this off.
one thing i discovered is a wonderful mnemonic for all the lab sim but wound...i got it from the epn discussion board....
s- select med
c- calculate
i - id patient
g- glove
a- assess/ aspirate
r- record
s- sign
whoever created this god bless you...this through everything together for me and now i can quite sweatin over looking for a mneumonic to cover the areas...i have the wound down. but worry a little bit about sterile technique and contamination....
i am taking a little piece of everyone that means something to me...
mom and grandmother - a small piece of a quilt they made together (1 square)
husband- a part of a love letter he wrote me last week telling me how strong and how i never take no for a answer...
a small piece of hair from each of my 6 kids
and last
i work weekend doubles with 3 of the best nurses a gal could ask for ...im stuffin a little piece of them and the others in my double boob holder...lol
y'all are the best and i will report back to here as soon as i come up for air...good or bad y'all will be the first to know...

thank you to my all nurses family:heartbeat for standing beside me as i take what could very well be the hardest thing i have faced in my nursing career yet...
good luck to you and lots of prayer coming your way. it can be done and you sound prepared. remember to use your grid! i even wrote out mnemonics on each of my lab stations. got some funny looks , but it was my $1900 and my sanity!
Bunches of LUCK and PRAYERS coming at you from the westside of the country:up::heartbeat:up: You are sooooo ready to be done with this. I used the same neumonic your using for the lab and wrote everything. We are all here for you and before you know it, we will have a new GN and her name is DENISE :yeah:
