Bruised Ego and Idiot Test

Ok, let me just say wow. Nursing Skills Lab was a bitch and a half today. I just feel completely stupid and over whelmed now. Well I guess I've felt like that since I've started but today was just a kick in the gut.

We're learning how to do Blood Pressures. The instructors were asking us questions about what is causing the sounds and I just drew a complete blank on the anatomy. Then we, rightfully, get scolded for not remembering the valves and flow of blood. It was just in they way they said it that I feel completely stupid. Right after I get done with this I'm going to hit my books. I also have a test coming up Thursday that I need to get prepared for in lecture.

Lecture, by the way, wasn't much better. We had a "pop quiz" where the instructor asked us to identify the 6 stages of infection. For some odd reason I thought she said 7. So, fortunately for me I did get them all, but I was sitting there pounding my head trying to figure out what the 7th was. Even when she had them all written on the board I didn't catch on that there were only 6 not 7.

I'm just feeling very dumb right now. I just have to realize i need to buckle down and study a lot harder.

It's like the little engine that could. "I know I can. I know I can. I know I can!"

Now to review my anatomy. Study the chapters for Thursday and drink a nice cold Labbat Blue Light. Dang neighbors started getting healthy and I've been peer pressured into drinking light beer. Soon though I'll be getting a couple packs of the fall seasonal beers. I'm a huge fan of them. Fall is the time of beer and there fore the time of Sucellus. May he help me get through this with most of my sanity intact.
