3rd meeting done

Hello blog world!

Well, we just had our 3rd and last meeting before we meet again january 7th which is going to be our packing day! I am so excited, nervous, and anxious because there is still do much to be done!!! I just got my community nursing textbook today so hopefully I can be prepared and not be behind in my class work!! I am struggling with these Nclex questions Gigi has assigned us to do! 100 Nclex questions and we need 80% or higher in one session! Ugh I am on my third attempt! I am glad we are doing this because it's a great way to prepare us for the hesi and nclex!!! Well, I have busy work to be getting done so I am off doing that! Again, we need more and more donations! After attending the meeting it was brought to my attention that we need more multivitamins! So please any donation counts! Please check our flyer for the current list of donations! Thank you and God Bless!

Open Lab Fun


Is there anything better to do on a Friday than to go to Open Lab? Don't judge -- the 4 of us (Danielle, Diane, Dave, and myself) got BOTH skills checklists completed. Full head-to-toe assessments, vital signs, wound care, patient education, and more. Oh, and we managed to snap some pics of us in action...


Danielle looks on as Aileen practices IM injections on the pad.
Look at the size of that needle! Aileen could only find a 16 gauge. OUCH!
Abdominal palpation!


Danielle helps Aileen out on her wound packing skills
Aileen listens to Diane's heart sounds during a
practice head-to-toe assessment


Dave assessing for clubbing of Danielle's fingers?
Perhaps her capillary refill time?
