I know I am being whiny. That happens when I am exhausted. I feel that Cakey is holding us back, though. Most of us, upon leaving the previous semester's clinical rotation, had 4 pts. Now we are back down to 2, and our requests to take another pt have been denied. We are not checked off for IV fluids/meds yet, and most of us have been hanging them for the past 2 semesters. Some students on our group have not even been checked off for PO meds. Yeah, I have been told by real nurses that I should revel in being a student, hiding behind my resource nurse and taking it easy. But I don't want to go backwards. I would like to be able to perform at the level of skill of which I am accustomed. I think most of us feel that way.
And about Cakey: she asserts her dominance in a heavy-handed way. One student had an encounter with her reminiscent of Private Pyle's with his drill sergeant in "Full Metal Jacket." Remember the part about him smiling too much? Yeah.
OK, have to get ready for clinical now.

nURSING cARE pLAN OF doom
Alright, I'm at the end of my rope. 0700 Tuesday is the deadline for my 1st care plan this semester and I still have the database and 2 DX with long term goal to write. I have been working on it since yesterday afternoon and have completed 3 pages of meds, 4.5 pages of labs, and 2 DX with long term blah. I'm a bit burnt out now. NANDA can suck it.
I'm a bit peeved, too, that we were given only one week to write this care plan. For me really just 2 days- yesterday and today. I met my pt last Tuesday 9/7 but had no time on the floor to get info. I stayed late Wed. to get my stuff. Sure, I could have started that night and told my kids that I wouldn't be home, but Liam's dad is a bit pissy and can't find a way to take both his step-son and his own son to school in the morning. Shit, IDK how I can manage to get my kids to school and commute to SR 5 days/week AND manage to pass this forsaken program. Wait, I know: I rock and Mike sucks it! Like NANDA! I have a tiny smidge of time after the kids are to school and before I drive down. That's it. Damn.
oh boy, babble babble babble...bedtime. I'll scrunch it in tomorrow. If I stay up any longer I will be worth exactly shit in class and it is going to be the Orangebrook lecturing. She drives me nuts with the mispronunciations and Spoonerisms. Yeah, sometimes I mix 'em up too, but have you seen her curriculum vitae? You'd think affarent and efferent would be clear to her by now. Arghh oligondrocytes pikopilothermia sonnemetre monoclonic status elipticus with tetrogenic meds holy fuck. Word salad anyone? IDK if that kind of holy mess would be tolerated by a student. 3 more months.
