Update
I'm so tired, ugh! Just got off work, I'm at the school computer lab as I type this...
I had the Renal and G.I. (Quiz III)yesterday and I know I didn't do good. The very thought I messed up makes me sick *gags* oh well...it's a bit late to do anything, but work harder for the upcoming exams. Pray me excellence?
I'm at school on a tuesday for tutoring. I know weird huh? but i believe it's going to pay off. The midterm is on Monday. It's going to be on Respiratory, Cardiovascular, Renal & G.I. I did good on Cardiovascular(Quiz II) btw, got a 4.3/5 again just like in Respiratory, hopefully I'll ace the midterm in God's name, I've faith I will. I'm going to give it my best. So the tutoring is on those 4 units and hope to get all the info I can to nail the midterm.
Saturday I did pretty good, worked on the scholarly paper and I have 2pages more to go...woot!
I've 2 nursing meetings to attend and write papers on, I've not scheduled them yet but I'll truly look into that this thur/fri *makes mental note*. I have 3 more days on the IMCU floor(intermediate care unit) and am off to float. I cannot wait!
I'll be back with an update sooner than you know...
Mucho amor,
student nurse

Critical Care Quickie Update
Critical care is going...
The art of medication-spitting has grown on me and some. I know almost all the meds. By know I mean their class, action/indication, main or commonly observed adverse effects, and nursing implications.
Going to the hospital facility the night before to pick the patient(s) I'll be taking care of on thurs and/or fri is what is driving me insane, but not for long, am sucking it up for now. I've three more 12hr shifts on the progressive intermediate floor then am off to float to ICU/IR/Cardiac Cath Lab, to say I cannot wait is an understatement, lit.era.lly, in every sense!
Quiz I was on Respiratory and I aced it, got a 90%, all glory and honor to God. Quiz II was on Cardiovascular, I'll find out how I did on monday. I started working on the NCP that's due on 08/20 last weekend and tonight am glad to say am almost done. Tomorrow I'll be at the library hopefully from 0900am doing my 'Scholarly Paper'. It's suppossed to be10pgs long. I'm starting to think pulling my hair out one by one might be less painful lol. A 10pg paper??? I'm seeking God's grace, love, mercies and favors. I believe and have faith I got it already, He brought me to it and this far He has been faithful enough to bring me through it. And of course sisy's best -I can do ALL things through CHRIST who strengthens me-
Quiz III is on monday, it's going to be on Renal and G.I.If I said I've touched the book or class notes I'd be lying, if am not too tired tomorrow night after the library, I'll start on it if not, then sunday is all dedicated to that, though I'll be putting in some hours. I know, i know it doesn't stop, one thing after another but joy will soon come in the morning.
On a different note I'm hooked on chocolate, what else is new?? It's typical/cardinal/hallmark nursing student habit huh? ugh!

Critical Care Nursing Update
My first critical care nsg lecture was this morning from 0900-0200pm. The lecturer seems great, based on first impression which with time I've learnt better than to go with but I'm positive and all I always hope for is the best.
I ordered my textbooks a bit late thanks to the vacay and so I won't get them until hopefully end of next week. I already have my first exam next week monday so I need to study and review this week/end. This class is different. The exams will be based on the day's lecture, like what we got lectured on today isn't what we're getting tested on next week instead what we're suppossed to get lectured on next week, which is our week's reading assignment is what the exam will be based on get it?lol I know, I'm glad though, helps me stay right on top of it and read for an upcoming class, it'd help alot if I already had my books you know? oh well will sit pretty and wait for them
My clinical rotation days for the next 2mos are thurs/fris, this thur however I'll be on campus for orientation from 12-8pm, I know, not the most convenient time for me but what to do right? then fri this week I've the orientation at the hospital facility which is basically doing the scavanger hunt and getting the codes. Starting next week my clinicals will be 12hrs back to back, I'm not sure am looking forward to that but it's critical care and it should be more interesting and more hands-on and exciting stuff to do, experiement or watch, yaay!
There'll be 5 quizzes in this class=25pts, one research paper=25pts, a midterm exam=20pts and a final exam worth 30pts. Can you tell am ultra excited because there's no powerpoint presentation in this class? dang, woot, woot.
In the meantime I've a med list to know from action to class to indication/use to usual dosage to adverse effects and nsg implications.
I'm trusting God to help me stay on top of this class and to excel! I believe and have faith I'll.
I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME!!!!!!

Summer Vacation Update
I just got back home from my vacation with the BF and I feel sooooooooo low. Vacation is suppossed to make you feel happy no? to re-energise, help one recuperate, stop and catch a breath, stop in the moment, look , and take in both the beauty and not but no that is not the case in this point in time of my life. I'm sad yet am graetful I was away, breathed some different air from what is routine, got some different glow, I'm happy I had this chance, I'm glad I went, I had the greatest time, the week even slowed down for me, it didn't feel like a week, it was longer, thank you God and each moment I enjoyed and had fun, thanks to the BF. I love you, Boopie! To say the least...
Critical Care Nursing starts tomorrow (07/09/2007), I'm excited,school is moving along, lecture will be from 0900am to 0200pm and clinical rotations are going to be on thurs and fris 0700am-0300pm. This clinical rotations are at a very convenient hospital for me, thank you Lord.
I can't believe am back in town, can't believe am in my bed, in my room, at my house alone, oh this silence, it won't kill me. I can't believe tomorrow morning I'll be in class.
I'll slowly come back, it won't be long before I'm back. Thinking me happy thoughts :)
I pray God bless me. I pray for grace, mercy, love and favor as I start this class. I believe I do already have it, thank you God!
Currently listening to- Hey There Delilah
Mood-Bittersweet, sad and happy

Adios Peds
I found out my final Pediatric Nursing final grade last night and guess what? I aced it! So long children, this was long coming and so overdue, yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! I got an 84.87% not excellent but good enough. I studied my head crazy friday night and it was worth it.
Peds clinicals ended on a good note, not much done but hey.
Critical Care Nursing starts 07/09, looking forward to it. I know it's going to be an intensive class but as my best saying goes 'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!!!' I'll devote any extra time to studying, I pray I'll be able to get alot from the lectures and that I'll make my study flash cards on time and stay right there on top of it. I also pray and trust God for favor with both the prof and clinical instructor.
My clinical rotations are going to be in a hospital I've been to before which is pretty close to my house too so it's sure looking good for the home team.
My vac started after my finals, I've been out of town since, at the BF's and am having good good times, yaaaaaaaaaaaaay, my motivation for going into critical care nursing. I can do this. I'm so sleepy right now so excuse me if it doesn't make any sense b/c am typing wit my eyes half-closed from the bf's mum's kitchen. I love been here :) It makes me miss my family so much though but hey I bet I can't have good of both worlds no???
Mucho amor,
Estudiante enfermera
