Time Management pt 1

I am sure this will not be the only time I speak of this during this semester.
  • Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I work 12 hour shifts at the hospital-7am to 7pm. Fiction. I really start work with the drive into work at 6:15am, punch out at 7:23pm, home by 8:00pm. Fact.
  • "I will be able to study at night when I get home from work, no problem. I have got an hour at least."...Fiction. I arrive home from work, eat something, shower, and have just enough energy to recline the theatre seat into recumbant position for 15 minutes before heading to bed. Fact.

I had thought I could do it. I thought I could use some precious time, either at work or after, to study a bit. But, no, sleep is more important.

So, I went into today's first exam not feeling quite ready like I like to....but you know what? I was more rested. What were heat sounds S3 and S4 again? Where do I listen for Pulmonic valves, between the 2nd or 3rd intercostal space? Oh well. Can't cram now.

Silly me, there is just not enough questions on the test to get that specific regarding 44 chapters of reading! I ended up with a 96.

This begins week 3....

I've bookmarked you and will add you to the list of Nursing Student Blogs next time I add to them (maybe even tonight or tomorrow - I've been promising for a few weeks already!).

Your blog looks very nice, can't wait to hear more! :)
