Peds Update

Peds is going...it's into week 6 today, yaay! Lectures on wednesdays have been going too. I got a 6/10 in Quiz II, not good but I didn't study so I deserved it. I got 4.65/5 in my DDST paper, that was alright. I turned in the Developmentally Ill Child paper last wednesday, it's worth 12.5 pts. I hope and believe I'll do great. Quiz III is next week, wednesday, week 7 and on the same day after the quiz my SIADH ppt presentation is due. It's going to be a long week, but it's week 7 so it's alright, I can handle it.

I need to do two papers, the Professional Organization and Community Paper. I attended my community service yesterday at some center (name withheld due to HIPPA). The center is renowned in the country for handling Children Sexual Abuse. I was lucky enough to watch a live interview of a 9 y.o girl. At the center they have special interviewees/interviewers who ask these children questions in a non-leading and non-influential way. It's amazing how much information they got out of the girl. It seemed so easy to do yet I realize it takes alot of expertisim, professionalism and patience. You gotta have passion to do such. My Professional meeting is on the 06/29, last week (week 8) of clinicals and am doing it at the hospital.

I've tried to stay on top of my studying. I went to the library this past weekend. I've made all my flash cards thus far into the class. I'll make week 6's flash cards this weekend. I want to excel in Quiz III. I could totally make the whole 10pts, I know so. I also want to do super well on my teaching presentation. I might work on putting the slides together this weekend or during next week. The teaching presentation=12.5pts. I'm trusting God.

Clinical rotation days have been interesting too. Learning more about children and their meds. I look at a child now and can tell the Piaget cognitive and Erikson Psychosocial stages they belong too lol. Tomorrow I'll be spending my 8hrs in Hematology & Oncology (Hemonc). I can't wait. It's going to be both a saddening but great learning/observation experience. I'm so graetful I'm getting this chance.

I won't be gone long ( will be back to let you know how Hemonc goes). I'm so looking forward to the end of this class. After this I've a week off for summer break. I not only get to go see the bf, but also read a good book, and relax. Yaay!
