I like how this TR took a completely inappropriate turn!
eep!
Yes, ma'am.
Yeah, that's usually how things turn out. A little Disney, a little real life, a lot of silliness...
Believe it or not, I actually had a real patient in mind when I wrote that. On the first day of class, the program gave us a bag of really cool nurse-y like stuff including a pen light, a clip board, and a pair of scissors. A few weeks ago I worked the ER, remember? Well, when that MVA trauma came in, I got the scarier than crap job of cutting off his pants using those scissors for the first time. I was scared to death not knowing if they'd cut through denim or cut his leg off if I slipped in my shaking, etc... Truly, those scissors are really going to come in handy in my career and it was weird to know that even though I was cutting off a guys pants, when you're doing your job you have absolutely ZERO inappropriate thoughts.
That sounds like all kinds of fun.
Not even. To be truly honest, I've never had a close friend go through a divorce, so this whole thing was very new to me. I just wanted to be there to carry some of her burden of this skanky ex who can't even pay one dime towards his kids' medical expenses.
Too much studying about drugs???
Prabably. Every single night I have a new set to memorize to the point that my brain swims with just too much.
Hey, at least you're consistently 88%. I can think of a lot worse scores you could be consistently getting. Be proud, hold your head up and prepare for the next one!
That's true! If I were getting 77% consistently, I'd likely be doing correspondence school from our local State Hospital with a straight jacket on.
I ended up doing neither. Sometimes you're just too tired to even care, and go straight to bed.
This guy has the best job ever... official VN taste tester.
I never thought of it that way. Best part is that he never gains and ounce.
And
@pkondz . Be careful. I don't think she was joking about that catheter comment.
I believed her.
And yes.
I'm afraid.
Very. Very. Afraid......
Run away... run away...
Seriously...88% is nothing to shake a stick at. But I totally understand having your heart set on an "A" but you are doing amazing. Also amazing is that you still manage to do so many other things with your life other than just school. I think that's the kicker with going "back" to school when you already have a life. When I was in university I felt like I didn't have a lot of time, but as an adult you get to be so much better at juggling.
Like I said to Magdalene, at this point, it's only a game for me. I've resigned to a B most likely and will be pleasantly surprised if it turns out better. I went in and talked to my Adivisor today, and she got a nice chuckle out of it too. She is the sweetest lady that I just adore. She is a 68 year old lady who's been a nurse for over 40 years, still (by law) has a current license, is a breast cancer survivor, and is 3 weeks away from getting her Masters so she can keep her teaching job. WOW!
And you're right. We "older" students are running circles around the 22 year olds because we juggle much better having practiced with kids, life, jobs, etc... I think I love school this time around a LOT more than when I got my first degree in 1989 in teaching.
