How to Look Like an Uber Retarded Nursing Student All in One Day:
1. Chart your patient's assessment on a different patient's chart
2. Forget to chart and communicate effectively (although I don't think she listened to me, the bitch) your patient's temperature with your nurse before administering ibuprofen for his fever
3. Write a super retarded nurse's note on how his parents are bitches and need some help parenting (it was embarrassingly bad)
4. Forget everything you've ever learned about how to talk to kids from last year's babysitting job and how to talk to adults from this summer's job once your instructor goes into your patient's room with you
5. Chart that you mixed the antibiotic with D5-0.45% instead of normal saline- DUMB.
How to Make the Most of Your Amazing Thursday Off:
1. Get up at 6am
2. Go to the gym before Parking and Transportation comes out to ticket your ass
3. Finish your Med-Surg case studies faster than expected
4. Clean the stove- it was seriously disgusting after the homelessness debacle combined with Monday's test and next week's test and the fact that I cook when I'm feeling ADD or bored
5. Run every errand possible before noon and reward yourself with the cheap, yet highly-caloric wonder of In 'n' Out
6. Study instead of blogging pointless lists (okay, so I'm not living up to this one)
7. Return to concert band- WOOT
8. Enjoy a relaxing evening in front of Betty and Grey's. And hopefully watch Michael Vartan's horrible-looking new show. But really, who cares how bad it is if Michael Vartan's in it?
9. Skip social hour because DEAR LORD, I have a Med-Surg midterm on Monday.
10. If you expect to see me tonight, no worries. The game ends early on Saturday. Not getting a failing grade on this test is so much more important that getting my drink on at the moment. As sad as it is. (I don't want to be that new girl in our class who has to take MS over again.)
Why Private Practice Was Slightly Annoying:
1. It took Kate Walsh away from Grey's, now forcing me to watch an entirely separate show for my favorite character
2. The writing is still amazing. The characters? Not so much.
3. Either the casting makes me want to pull my hair out, or it's that most of the acting or chemistry of that cast just sucks.
4. WHIIIIIIINEY. Even more so than Grey's. I can tolerate some whining from Meredith, but I need a little bit of positive to balance it out.
5. The psychologist stalker. Good lord, get over your boyfriend!
6. Naomi. Good lord, suck it up and stop complaining.
7. Taye Diggs. Good lord, just SHUT UP already.
Why I Will Probably Watch Private Practice Next Week:
1. Kate Walsh kicks ass and Addison never annoys me.
2. Tim Daly. I like him. And I like that Addison finally has a dude that's not a freaking man whore.
3. Piz (I know that's his Veronica Mars' name, but LAH LAH LAH I don't care) and his "midwifery skillz." Tee hee! Yay for midwives! He just better rise above his whiney-ness again.
4. The pediatrician. He's funny and slutty.
5. The writing. Despite the shitty characters that whine too much.
6. I will want to procrastinate next Wednesday evening.
7. The crazy OB-GYN cases. I am a freak.
What this Post Proves:
1. I will do anything except study for MS.
2. I watch too much TV
3. Nursing school is driving me crazy
