As you can see this was my colostomy assignment. And it was VERY painful coming off! We haven't got our grades for it yet. I finally got my Pharmacology test grade from Tuesday. My Pharm teacher is also my clinical instructor, so she showed them to us, nobody else has viewed theirs yet. I got an 83% which I was more than happy with because I thought I mixed everything up on the test! In clinical this week I was in outside rotation, which means instead of caring for my resident, I went and observed Rehab therapy and the life enrichment program. I didn't get to do as much observing as I would have liked to, but I have some idea of what goes on there. I also did blood sugar testing this week, which was something new. It went fine, once we got the machine figured out! One poor guy I had to poke 3 times! He didn't seem to care, but I felt horrible! We also picked our new residents for the next two weeks, our last resident, after this we will be in the hospital. Lindsey and I got the 2 peppy boys who are roommates, so it should be fun. I also gave one more pneumonia vaccine and everything went perfectly, the lady said she couldn't even feel it, Great! Our nursing home has 2 floors, we work on the top floor. Yesterday I got the tour of the bottom floor, which is the dementia floor. It was a totally different atmosphere down there. I couldn't believe it. It was interesting for me to witness just how differently things were from our floor.

Next week I have 3 quizzes and 2 tests, so don't be surprised if it takes a while before I write!
