Week 10...over halfway

I can't believe that this semester is half over already. I'm glad... but can't believe it. Tonight I worked on my last week of FULL paperwork for Adult! Woohoo!!! That means that from here on out I just have to go read up on my patient(s) the night before, do their meds and labs, and then read up briefly on their diagnosis so I know what I'm talking about. Basically my paperwork will be cut down by like an hour or more. It'll be fantastic!
Well, this paper/project drags on... We actually start teaching next week. Eek! I'm sorry, but did I go to school to become a teacher or a nurse???? Hmm.... Hopefully all goes well and these kids learn something.
So how was everyone's Easter? Mine was fine. I went to early service so I could study some more, and that just wears me out to do that. I did like having the extra time though. I took my test today, so we'll see how it went hopefully in the next couple days. It snowed a little on Easter. Nothing that accumulated, but the white stuff fell none the less. It was a very bizarre holiday. It seems as though this winter has lasted forever, but I think the fact that Easter was so early this year has something to do with that.
Switching gears.... have you seen the movie Enchanted? It's pretty cute. The music is so catchy! "How does she know...." haha... If you haven't seen it, you should. Go rent it this weekend!
Alright, well I'm feeling quite tired all of a sudden. I think it's all that knowledge that I stuffed in my head today. I'll be back later this week. I have some finishing touches to put on my paper, and I have a elderly appointment for clinical on Wednesday, but everything SHOULD be easy breezy, so I'll come back with something more interesting than my boring weekend I just recapped for you.
Have a good Tuesday!
Until.........................

End of week 4...

If you wonder why I always refer to school in weeks instead of the actual date or days it is because everything at school is referred to in weeks. Every class is once a week, so they just say things are due "week whatever" or this test is "week such and such". So now that you know that (even if you didn't want to know or even care) we can get on to more important stuff.
I am so glad this week is over. This week was the first time I have had two patients at the same time. Eeek! I survived and it wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be, but the paperwork the night before is a killer. (Thanks Hol for helping me with the meds portion!) I just finished my Adult paperwork and now all I have left is my Community paperwork. Paperwork, paperwork, paperwork.... story of my life right now.
Sydney is doing better with her UTI. She has been on antibiotics for a few days and seems to be back to her old self. She jumped on and off of my bed about 20 times since I've been home today and since that was difficult for her to do a week ago I would say she is officially on the mend. Here is a picture of her since she is so adorable.....



We also had an adorable house guest last Saturday. Izzy came for the day to reconnect with her buddy. :p She came with accessories this time too. Check it out....



The weather here is getting on my nerves. It has been nasty for months it seems. This is the accumulation that we got today (mind you this is only snow. This doesn't count the rain and sleet we received as well....



Well, I must go. I need to do paperwork, eat, etc. Wish me luck. Tomorrow starts my first day of studying for my first test of the semester. Tomorrow night I am watching the kids. I will also be taking a quiz, doing an online requirement for class and setting Robin up with a blog on Friday. :) I'll try and link to hers when it is up.

Until next time.....
