Woot! Hell yeah!

I passed them all. Good karma ppl. Good Karma!!

I can relax and just... -takes a deep soothing breath-

It feels good. It really does. ^_^

I'm going to say now that it was very stressful. We had to do IM (Ventral Gluteal and Deltoid) Sub-Q, IV insertions, IV Piggy Back, and IV Push all in one day. I've never been so bogged down by information in my life. It was really a race to the finish line. We literally stood outside of each door with our deer in the headlights stares on. It was bad and everyone tried to calm everyone else down. In retrospect it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but it wasn't easy either.

I wanted to go first in all the skills, but I ended up going last for all of them. Not that I was jittery, but because I kept doubting myself and what I knew. I don't know how many times I looked at that skill book and thought "have I even seen this before?" It was like my mind went blank when I stood outside of each check off room waiting to go in and test. It was nerve wracking and I never want to do them again. Clinicals are a breeze compared to skill check offs. I actually flicked the bevel to my IV site onto the table like an idiot. Fake blood went everywhere, but I quickly explained that in the real world I wouldn't continue with the procedure. I'd clean up and start over to avoid infection. O_O Thankfully she understood. My hands were shaking soooooo badly. Hahaha. I need to learn how to relax. Seriously.

Now to study patho and try to absorbed this information into my brain by osmosis. That class is intimidating too, so I'm going to work my behind off to make sure I don't have to make excuses for the grades I receive on exams.

Life is hard, but I love living it. XD -kicks Patho's ass-

Skills Check

I'm going to go ahead and say it now cause I'm cool like that. I'm going to PASS all of my skill check offs. There's no failing because I don't want to have to come back up her and do them over. Nope. Nadda. I'm done yo!

Take that skill check off. O_-.

Lots of catching up to do

So, Fall semester has come and gone. I didn't write about that time because I was just overwhelmed with classes and exams. I passed everything with A's and B's so all was well with the world. I finished evaluations and then it was time for x-mas break.

I can sum my break up in three words. I DID NOTHING. Yep, I was lazy, I ate whatever I wanted, I watched movies, did some shopping was just blah. It was AWESOME. For x-mas I got some cute shirts from Old Navy and some earrings. I also got 30 bucks and I bought more junk and girly things. Over all it was an awesome holiday. XD

Today was my first day back to classes. My sister started with me which was cool. Finally I have someone I can talk to after classes. I talk to ppl in class, but it's not the same. My cousin will be starting soon so it's even better.

Today was just orientation and then we got right into it. We're doing injections now which is great. I've been wanting to do injections since last semester. XD

This semester will be very fast paced and hectic, but what can you expect. Last semester was just o_O, but I survived it. I can do this one as well. ^_^

Spring Semester HERE I COME!
