It’s Friday evening, and I’m sitting in the living room with Toby curled up in my lap. SK’s in the Cayman Islands right now and I’m jealous. I was supposed to go, but I had a test today in my nursing lecture class that I couldn’t miss.
The test went fairly well. Considering the highest grade in the class was a 92, and I made an 88, I cannot complain too much — especially since I didn’t get to study as much as I had hoped because I feel like death warmed over. I briefly considered driving up to Oklahoma to play poker tonight, but I just don’t feel up for it.
On Monday, everyone in my skills lab has to bring a bathing suit, towel, washcloth, sheet, soap and lotion. Our instructor wants us to give each other sponge baths so that we know how people in the hospital will feel. Being near-naked is bad enough, but it is always so dad-gum cold that I’m going to be blue! Not to mention the fact that the hot water doesn’t work very well, so I’ll be lucky if the water is even tepid.
Physical assessment check-off is next week. We have to do the whole thing in under 15 minutes. That’s just crazy.
(You can always tell when I don’t feel good, because my posts are very … disjointed.)
Alliance of Free Blogs - I found You Know You Wanna while searching for kitty porn. No, that's not a typo.
I’d pay several thousand dollars to get a sponge bath from Nurse Jaxia!

sorry ya gotta suffer for science, amy. hopefully you’ll get to go first or the other nurse trainees will probably get a lesson in caring for a lowered body core temp patient with mild hypothermia.

Good luck with the cold water; is that even legal for them to make you do that? Haha, kinda funny…
