I am still working at the hospital mostly every week, but look forward to when school is finished and I can start working on a more regular basis. Since starting on the floor I have come to love each of the residents in Continuing Care, and still get an energy high just from simply walking through the hospital doors. Sadly, in this time I have also been through 4 deaths; each person a special treasure. I have been told that this part of the job gets easier over time. Somehow I feel like this will never be the case for me; maybe I simply feel too deeply. Still, I love my job as a Health Care Aid, and am thriving in my Nursing classes.
I am currently in the final weeks of my classes, which are currently Anatomy, Physiology, Pathophysiology and Pharmacology. I just recently took my midterms for the first three, and am happy to report that I am still in the program : ) haha. Last week I took two of my math tests, which are focused around dosage calucations for giving medications, running IVs and giving injections. The passing requirement for these tests is 98%, which I somehow managed to pass, Praise God. He continues to amaze me with how he carried me into this program, and now how he continues to carry me through in areas such as math and science (which I am sure if any of my previous teachers in these subjects were to know they would be dumbfounded that this is even possible). I was telling my mom the other day, somehow math just makes more sense to me when it is someone's life on the line if I make a mistake. Funny how that works.
Tomorrow I have my midterm for my Pharmacology class... please keep me in your prayers!!
Although I am sure once you see a photo of my studying you will no longer feel even the slightest remorse for how busy my brain has been.... I must say I have perfected the art of studying quite well!
