If I Only Had a Brain...

I've had the song from the Wizard of Oz on my head for the past hour or so. It reminds me of the Pupples. Sometimes he is silly, sometimes he needs a clue.(Hmmm, sounds like other men in my life)

I aced my patient presentation/project. YEEHAW. I was up until 12:30a.m. finishing up. Worth it except for waking up at 6 freaking a.m. This days schedule is exhausting me.

For my age, I feel really good about my learning capacity and my observations about my project patient. I caught some aspects of his multifactorial diagnoses no one else had observed.

The facility I have 3 days left in is very nice to nursing students and are kind enough to explain policies, procedures, etc. very thoroughly. They do not get annoyed when we have questions either!

Since we're at a psych facility I feel more comfortable as psych is a subject I love and one that comes easily to me. I have seen some behaviors I had never seen before. Not to sound voyeuristic, but it's fascinating.

Because patients wear street clothes and this facility is "their home", I am still working on learning names, rooms, simple diagnoses, and repeating behaviors. It's like a moving jog saw puzzle with several pieces missing. LOL.

Tomorrow I will taught how to do medicaid assessments. woo frickin' hoo. Not my favorite thing, I think I'll live.

My favorite thing is giving shots. I love shots. Cuz I'm twisted like that, muahahahaha.
