Nursing School Level One

medications must be poured at eye level to be accurate...which at times can make you cross eyed

we start passing meds in a week I'm so nervous there's so much to know

drawing up heparin...must be very accurate (notice I'm not even looking at the syringe)

tied down... wasn't so bad

Level one of nursing school is almost over. in this level was fundamentals, geriatric nursing which i got the highest grade in the class on, nutrition, and pharmacology. it ends on the 30th of July with the final for pharmacology and a skills testing where we have to prove we can do a head to toe assessment on a person, insert a catheter using sterile technique, and check a persons blood glucose level competently. wish me luck. by the way for those who read this i passed my pharmacology practicum about 30 seconds after it began! Level two is medical surgical nursing. we start with integument system, respiratory system, and musculoskeletal system.

Pharmacology and Medications...

okay okay...i know its been a while but do you have time to be on blog spot and memorize over 200 drugs, what they are used for and how they work...yeah me either. so we have finished the drill part where we crammed fifty chapters of information into six weeks and one very small head (mine) but i survived and now i have two weeks to get on top of it before the final...the teachers say they will pound the meds into our heads until we are tenderized beefed up students. i don't know about that but there are times life is stinky and i need more sleep. i assume now I'm only going to sleep when I'm dead...lol! keep you updated as i go.
