Back to life as we know it. Work, school, home. In that order. I know that I have had an overload of theory and not much of it has made an indent in my memory. I'm either going to have to go the flashcard route or else figure out some other way to ingest all of this.
I did discover OneNote today. I had not ever explored this Microsoft product. It looks to be very helpful but the lack of wireless connectivity in AT made the 1 minute video unviewable. It looks like a product I will most definitely use in the spring semester if I can't master it for fall. I actually did get some assignments submitted and even started to read somethings that are due next week. Somehow I'm going to have to by-pass my all-or-nothing mentality and it-must-be-done-in-order study ethic to plow through what I need to read. I can see the merit of audio textbooks. How's come someone hasn't thought of this? That's crazy to let the ears stay dormant when doing internet research.....
Back to stark reality. Den's foot needed some immediate attention. Yet another new Home Health Nurse had not secured the dressing correctly and it had slide around to the bottom of his foot leaving a wound screaming for help in the only way it could through ofactory messaging. I hope it didn't go too long. He is so very close to having this over and done with that I don't want a slip up to cause a major set back. I got the dressing changed in pretty swift order. I am stilled totally amazed and humbled by the fortitude I've been given for all things medical during this semester. Everyone who knows me well is also amazed that I can even be in the same room, let alone the one administering the medical procedure. Holly too had a milestone today with her first live person IV. She did well and even with the tornado sirens blaring she found the vein with one stick. That's a big hurdle for any nursing student.
