You don't realize how much you retain something, until its put into use. Sitting next to Pam for 2 years, I got to hear a lot of different stuff pertaining to labs and medications. Now I am starting to understand some of it :) Pharmacology today we went over some stuff and I was able to comprehend it a little better because I had heard it before and now it made sense. Not that I realized it then, but I'm glad I picked up on it! The day is half over, in Lab we went over surgical asepsis. Putting on the gloves wasn't too bad, I found out my glove size. Now washing was more difficult than it looked. First of all the sink was too low and my arms are too long which didn't help the situation. If I were doing it for real, I would have had to start over at least 5 times. First I dropped the sponge and then I hit the sink quite a few times. I'll definitely have to practice. Good news on my quizzes...100% on this one and my retake from last week was 80% which is enough to pass (sigh of relief) The retake was 10x harder than the 1st one! Good thing I studied otherwise I might be taking it again!

Who knew it would be so hard to learn to wash your hands? Do you sing Happy Birthday 2 times to time yourself or do you have another method of timing?

It's not so much how long you wash, it's the quality of the washing. Pre-Sugical scrubbing is different than just washing your hands after touching a patient. When you scrub all your nails, cuticles, knuckles, fingers, wrists and hands, then your done. (How many Happy Birthdays is that? :)
