What to do...

Ok, I just finished class. Today was "Move people to and from the bed without hurting them or yourself" day, and I'm sitting in the library staring at the Golden Gate Bridge and sneezing (my allergies will NOT let up). Now I have to decide what time I want to run errands, where to go, and whether or not I want to go home yet. I have no energy to cook myself dinner, but I have no money to buy dinner elsewhere. I may just have a Frappuccino and call it a day.

3 things that are currently happening in class:
1 - We get to use a mannequin with removable male and female genitalia. w00t!
2 - I get to give my lab partner a bath and put them in restraints.
3- Blah Blah Blah.... bed sores and hospital corners.

I don't ever want to be a patient again, that's for sure.

And other than that, I'm realizing it's easier to make friends if you are taking their vital signs all the time.

Haha.

Eh.

The more I hear about this nursing school thing, the more I am glad I am not there. sponge baths?! (no offense, of course!)

I am just imagining the situation. "Hi, nice to meet you, lab partner. May I start the sponge bath?"

haha

(go get some claritin or something for the sneezies!)
