Level 3

I have been in Level 3 for a week and a day now. I started it out very poorly by having 101 fever last Monday on the first day of class so I missed Mr. Douglas' IV lecture. But that's ok because he made us all DVD that were very helpful! I passed my IV check off on Friday! WooHoo! I did not however pass my math test. I made an 85 and had to have a 90. SO I have to take the test again on Thursday so I can go to clinicals. I have already learned where baby's come from also. haha :) So I hope I pass it this time. Today we practiced our Central line dressing change. That check-off hopefully will go well also. This friday we have our full dress orientation for clinicals and clinicals start next week! It's going by fast! We have our first test next Tuesday for our Mat/Neo class. I have already signed up to take board and paid $139 and have another $200 due at the end of this month along with the payment for graduation due by the end of this month. Yeah we don't have to buy new books but we have to pay for everything else! I have also found out that there is like 1 person walking at graduation. I'm trying to decide if I want to walk or not. I worked hard for this but I also know I will be graduating with my RN as well....So I don't know yet. Oh and on Friday, my friend Allison (a nurse at St. E) allowed me to practice putting an IV in! It was so exciting and i did really well! I didn't blow the vein or anything! It was awesome! So I have already put in my first IV now! Yay! :)
