LAST FUNDAMENTALS BLOG!:
I REALLY CAN'T BELIEVE HOW FAST THIS CLASS FLEW BY! I DO FEEL LIKE WE DID GET A FULL DOSE OF EVERYTHING AND I DO FEEL LIKE I RETAINED IT. I JUST WISH I CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO TAKE THESE DARN TESTS! -CAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING WRONG :( I LOVED MRS. D AND I THOUGHT SHE WAS AN AMAZING TEACHER! FOR WHAT WE HAD TO COVER I WAS SURPRISED AT HOW ORGANIZED IT WAS PRESENTED TO US...SO GOOD JOB TO EVERYONE FOR PASSING! WE MADE IT, ONLY 2 YEARS LEFT!!

            So I'm thinking this is the last blog for fundamentals? Crazy how fast this class went by, a little sad in a way.. I'm going to miss Mrs. D a lot.. I hope we get to have her again at some point. Studying is going okay, a lot to try and wrap my mind around yet again. I'm really praying this one goes well cause Lord knows I need it. Thankfully my boyfriend is being pretty helpful (as he's in the kitchen cooking the chicken for himself for once :)) so that alleviates some of the stress...kinda? I've really liked all my clinicals thus far so I'm stoked about that, especially since that's what we're going to be actually doing for our career. Good luck everyone on their final and keep your fingers crossed for me as well!

         Today was the first day of my 'diet', should be interesting on top of everything else! I'm actually really excited to see if I can stick with it since this is the first diet I've ever been on. (I'm 117 pounds and no I'm not dieting because I think I'm fat haha) I go to the gym about 6 times a week on average so I think putting a diet along with it will show me what I really can look like, we'll see :) 
        Yesterday I went to Macy's with Ren and he bought me a Michael Kors watch! Keep an eye out for it, it's white and teal and goes along with our scrubs quite well. Definitely a nice surprise! I guess I have to keep him ;) haha As for school I'm really apprehensive about how the final is going to go, I'm really nervous. I guess all I can do is my best, right?! Hope everyone is having a good start to their week! I can't believe tomorrow is our last day of lab for Fundamentals. Wow! Hope we get to have a little fun then ;)

            It's been a pretty good week overall. It went by relatively quickly which is good! Monday we had the guest speaker, Tuesday's lab was fun because we got to practice feeding which meant eating chocolate pudding for me! Wednesday our cultural project was due so we got to eat food :) and then Thursday we had our clinical at Healthsouth, which I loved!! It was an amazing facility and my patient happened to be a retired nurse as well, she had MRSA and a spicacast (which is a cast from her bust line down to her left ankle and down to her right knee). This made my skin assessment a little difficult, but it was definitely a good learning experience for me. I can't believe how fast time is flying by and that Fundamentals is almost over.... I guess time flies when you're having fun..
