Pharmacology

Okay, it's been a few days since I've written in my little blog.  I can just see myself not writing on this blog once the fall semester arrives, but I will do my best to keep this updated for myself and for others who are interested in nursing school. There are blogs of nursing students that have been written in and never written in ever again, and I hope this blog wont be one of them.

This pharmacology class has been taking up most of my time, remember how I said that I got 40 tests that needs to be done? Well so far I've gotten at least 10 of them out of the way (30 more to go). There are also 3 discussions that needs to be done. Our teacher would have some kind of article for us to read, or a question in the textbook and we would have to answer them. We'd post our answers on the discussion board for our classmates to read and comment on them. I've completed one of the discussion (which isn't due till the ending of this month), but I'm glad I got that out of the way so I can focus on finishing the fifty million tests that I gotta do.

There are also 2 calculation assignments that need to be completed. I wish my sister was here to help me with that. I just need some good tips to figure out these dang doses for medications. The teacher said when you're in the hospital they have the computer doing all the calculations, but we need to know how it is done (of course). She said all the computers in a hospital where she worked had all shut down, and the doctors had no idea how to calculate the dosage hahaha! Of course, the nurses had to show the doctor how its done! I would've been like, "move out of the way scrub!" hahaha!

There are 3 exams that I mentioned before and one of them begins next week Friday (24th June). I don't know what it is about those proctored testing centers, but I hate it. I believe there will be 75 questions on the first 15 chapters and each question will be worth 1 pt.  I hope I do well on those exams. Some of the questions are either right or wrong and others are "choose the best" answers.  That's where your critical thinking skills are needed. I actually hate those "choose the best" answers, but I actually do really good on them.

That's my update with Pharmacology, so far so good. I hope all continues to go well and I hope to get an "A." Let me get back to finishing up my tests. I'm trying my best not to stay up late to finish my school assignments (although I know it will be impossible), but I seriously need to sleep when its time to sleep or else my brain will not do its function. Good day and happy studying for all you students out there. weluvU Daddy!
