Today was my "check off" for medicine administration. It included intramuscular/subq shots, IV push, IV bolus and oral meds. We had to pick, out of a hat, our one that would be tested. I "lucked up" on IV bolus. It isn't necessarily hard, it just has the most steps. I'm proud to say I efficiently gave my fake patient 2 ml of demerol in a very safe and professional manner. Nobody died! I love getting these check offs done; however I'm sure in real life it will be like doing it new all over again.
I have two more tests next Thursday - but I'm on the downhill of the semester. Exams will be December 11th and then I will be off until January. Then clinicals start. I hope to be working on Saturdays for my clinicals - it sure will help with babysitting. I heard yesterday that the preceptor for the clinical I want is incredible. That really made me happy!
