everything is ok!
My teacher is mean, but not as mean as expected. I've done good with picking my patient, and getting the work in on time. I was struggling at first like turning in assignments late. She gave me a zero for one whole week! Like we're at the hospital two days a week, and we have a report on our patients due at the end of the week, so you get 7 grades. well she saw how complete my work was 2 days before it was due, but she FORGOT to tell us to write in pen only, so I had to rewrite everything, and I ended up sending it 45 minutes late via e-mail, and what did I get? A fucking zero!! I might as well not have been there at all.
Then the next week I happened to have a patient who someone from my class had the week before when it was their turn on that floor. This patient was given to me. My teacher, even after telling us to ask the charge nurse to assign us a patient, quietly bitched me out about turning in the work late and accused me of "recycling" that patient! like wtf I would never do that on a pediatrics patient, especially not a 6 week old. I did the research on all his medications and had my plan of care ready. It really shook me up, so after that I turned everything in on time and worked really hard to get good grades. Since then, I've really made in onto her good side. She seems to actually like everyone which I did not expect because I read that she would pick on people and had "favorites." I don't see a lot of that, hopefully not because I am one of them. I noticed she is very encouraging and cuts us slack by letting us leave early the day before tests cause we're there at the hospital from 4pm to 9:45pm on Wednesdays, and every other week we have a test the next day at 4, so there's not a lot of time to study, AND we are all tired. Anyway, things have gone ok in pediatrics. I'm on my last two weeks. After this, I will be in the 4th and final semester of nursing school. My future is coming very fast, and I know my life is going to change. Hopefully I am happy.
I forgot what else. Right now I am very hung over. Last night I ran into Josie for the first time since high school, and it was badass. We talked about the Billy Blanks episode and my lesbian crush.
JOSIE IF YOU MEET THAT GIRL, PLEASE FUCK HER FOR ME!!!
I should be reading, but I'm hung over and not motivated :( I want to go to forever 21 and buy a set of those colorful jeans! I suck
