Med/Pharmacology Exam in Pedeatrics
It's been a long week that really flew by. Yup I realise that sentence is simply senseless, there are no long weeks that fly by. Hmmm
The pedeatrics class started this Wednesday. Lecture time is 1230-0530pm not the best time for my concentration span but my prof's gotta play golf and tennis in the mornings seriously that's the reason she gave for moving lecture time from 0900 to 1230 but we're a morning cohort I almost voiced but that wouldn't change a thing.
On wednesday was orientation into peds and on the same day we found out just like in Fundamentals of nursing in peds we were also required to do a med/pharm exam and score no less than a 90% to proceed with the class. Guess when the exam was going to be? Friday, 0800. Now the prof doesn't teach pharm so as the students we're suppossed to do the whole of "Dosage Calculations (aka bluebook)" book and the ATI book for the theory part of the exam. In a day we're expected to know all that and score nothing below a 90%.
Wednesday night I get home and am literally sitting on my hands to keep from pulling my hair. It's been almost 8mos since I took my Fundamentals class and I can't trace my bluebook. Ugh. I'm trying really hard to not just break down and weep. My friend is stopping by at midnight to drop the Peds book. She comes and I tell her I can't find my bluebook and kindly enough her lead foot gases to her house and she's back in less that half hour with not only the bluebook but some extra sample question paper and a dosage calculations cd, what manner of kindness? I get into bed at 1330 after popping to 2 reg. strength tylenols b/c my head is pounding.
Thursday I wake up go to Peds clinicals orientation all day, 0830-0430 by the time I get off am poop'd. Get home at 0530 lay on my bed b/c my body is all hurting. I know I need to study for the pharm exam but I just can NOT get myself to do it. I lay there for like 2hrs making small talk with the bf. Finally, I have some dinner, say my prayers and start studying by 11pm am crawling into bed. I'm trusting God to bring me through this. Friday I wake, go to school and do the med exam and get a 98%. Thank you God. May all glory, honor and praise be to only God. Thanks to my moms, R, R, and D and the bf and all my other friends who give me any kind of support and help. It wouldn't be the same without each one of you. Y'all count ok? Never forget that if you forget everything else
Mucho amor,
