I just got the email from UCF… They have approved my 2000 level nutrition class for their 3000 level nutrition class! I am so thankful! I do not have to change my admit date to take this class. Tomorrow is my last exam of nursing school. I will not miss the work but I will …

ONE MORE TO GO!!
Today’s Patient Care Management HESI achievement exam went well. I got surprisingly a 99.99% conversion score and my HESI score was 1215 which is up from the 1187 from my last HESI achievement exam. (Our class average was a 1000)I say surprisingly because the test only had 55 questions and I thought right away “Oh …
Zippity Doo Dah! All the work is done!
Zippity doo Dah! I’ve finished my work for nursing school!! No more discussion boards, no more, case studies, and no more papers!! The only thing left is my HESI Patient Care Management exam and my HESI exit exam. (Both this week Wednesday and Friday respectively.) I took my second module exam this past Friday and …

PCMP exam 1
Today was exam one for my Patient management practicum class. I had intended to study more when I got to school EARLY like I usually do on the day of the exam. But, unfortunately, I hit the back passenger side bumper of my neighbors car with the back passenger side bumper of my car. It …
Nursing and Hydration
No one ever told me that I would not be able to keep myself adequately hydrated as a nurse. During my practicum shifts I have found my self with signs of dehydration- Thirst, dry mouth, dry skin, tiredness, sunken eyes (or is this from nursing school and getting up at 4am?) I have been so …
Practicum Day 5
Practicum day five was a tough one for me. I took three of the four patients that we had. The thing I’m having the most trouble with is charting. Not charting or doing my assessments but doing all the other charting, the goals, the education as it relates to plan of care. I am still …
