Week #3

I am VERY happy to say that it is now week 3. I have only 2 more weeks on the floor at Midland Hospital on the Mental Health Unit. One more week of Outside Rotation and the last week of presentations. My instructor for Mental Health Lecture, is also my Mental Health Clinical instructor. She informed my Thursday that Mental Health probably wasn't going to be my specialty. REALLY?!?!?! I could have told you that before I started! She said that I still seem very uncomfortable on the unit, and I am not filling the role well. 'Is it that obvious? I really am trying' She said that was all she could ask of me, was to try. At clinical, a man threw something out his door as I was walking past, missing me by inches. I turned to my instructor and said that he almost hit me! That was another reason I don't fit the role of Mental Health, because "You looked really scared when that happened" Wouldn't you?! Is that not an appropriate reaction when you are almost hit with a flying shampoo bottle?! Apparently its not. Oh well, I can't wait until this is over. It is definitely work for me to be there.
I had my first test on Friday. It was on Mental Health. I thought I did very well, but of course I didn't do as well as I had hoped. I passed with an 81%. Room for improvement. (Failing in nursing school is anything under 78%.)
