no, I don't think so
I know I'm really really bad at keeping this up. I'm also going through one of those phases in communication when I just can't seem to finish any email that I start. My drafts folder is overflowing with my inability to complete anything. Maybe this is some form of supressed anxiety expressing itself. Or, I'm just really lazy. Regretfully, the latter is probably true.
My nursing assistant class will be over on March 8th, and we take both the class final and the state exam on Friday, March 10th. I have class for six and a half hours every Wednesday but the rest of the course is online - reading material and quizzes to complete each week before class. The class is fun overall and I have learned the mystery of taking blood pressure alongside other formerly unbenownst tricks of the person in the scrubs who you first see in a doctor's office who I always assumed was a nurse but is actually a nursing assistant.
Some friends of Nate's, the band Lotus ( www.lotusvibes.com/ - I don't know why I can't hyperlink that), was here the other day and one of them was sitting on the porch where I was working on one of the online quizzes and made the observation that pretty much every question is asking the same thing over and over again, which is, "Are you a total idiot?" For example, if you have to make the bed of a person who is in traction, do you remove them from their traction to complete your task? ARE you a total idiot? Should a nursing assistant cut a patient's toenails with scissors? Are YOU a total idiot? And so on. They're just trying to weed out the people who really, really should have nothing to do with anything remotely medical. I now feel completely confident and unstressed about all of this.
The end.
