Well, as u all know, I gave something like 30 shots Monday in my clinical. Now, as a nurse that's nothing out of the ordinary, but what you don't know is that I've NEVER given an IM (intramuscular) injection this whole year I've been in school. Needless to say I was offer excited to have the opportunity to give my first and pretty much perfect the act of giving IM's all in one day! And no one screamed at me:)
Yesterday after clinical I did a little financial rearrangement and removed a $225 monthly bill (that was barely paying interest) and created a new bill that takes the place of my ($408) car payment........Thus allowing me about $200 extra a month. My new payment is $450, however it is an installment loan and it will not continue to accrue interest like my $225 one was. So that was a relief. Plus my credit report now shows that I've paid off American Honda, so my score should come up quite a bit (not that I can or will buy anytime soon!). Just knowing I'm not accruing interest daily on that account is a huge relief - there is an end in sight - albeit a few years away, but I can always pay it off early!
Last night went to class, turned in an assignment hung out for a bit and left.
Today work was nice and quiet I got a lot done that I needed to. Same ol crap as usual, but it's nice when I FEEL like I've actually accomplished something that day!
Finally, the icing on the cake for the week - I go to my med/surge class, the one I've been fretting over because of my recent bad grade and just the simple struggle I was having with this class in general. Our teacher announced that she was 'giving everyone' the ten points that represented the essay questions she threw at us at the last minute!!! Now, that still doesn't make me PASS the damn test we took, however it improves my chances for passing the class A LOT. Instead of needing 85's (which I am still aiming for just to cover my a**), I only need 82's. That sounds & feels a lot better, and is more representative of my grades in this program. Thank God is all I can say (o and Dad if he had a little part in it). Some of the stress I was feeling has been lightened - not lifted, but lightened!! I'm still studying my tail off cause after this I surely don't want to not pass! My next test in this class is next Tuesday, the 15th.
And, there are only 2 days left in the week (Friday is a holiday for me). Tomorrow I have my Peds clinical, so I get to interact with sick little kids, and it is something I enjoy (I know most people don't). Have a test Thursday morning in Peds (lots of material, but not super difficult). After that I have to work for a bit, and then I am leaving for NC to visit Lisa & family for her wedding reception (I guess that's what u call it??). I haven't seen them in over a year and it's been more like 15 months since I've been back to my old stompin grounds. I am looking forward to it: Mom, Karen and Kyah are coming, so it's gonna be fun. O and I get to enjoy REAL southern SWEET TEA!!
So, I'm on a high note right now, just keep your fingers crossed that the good stuff keeps coming!
