I finally kicked myself into studying today. Nothing new, assignments are starting to pour in, I'll be spending more time in front of the PC, more pimples will sprout out (not sure where since my face is practically covered by them), more grey hair will be seen thanks to stress, my vocabulary will grow tremendously thanks to the thick law book that Monash sent me (which I think is nice), and hopefully at the end of all these, I'll have learnt something precious.
Anyhow, I'm telling myself to enjoy learning (yes, including the assignments) so that it will all be a breeze, instead of dreading it and forcing myself to study. Well, ethical and legal issues in nursing should be quite fun as I get to see what is the "prescribed" notion of doing things and COMPARING them to what is being practiced in my hospital. For instance, obtaining a consent. 'Nuff said.
Anyway, learning to manage wounds is also this semester, and hopefull by the end of June, I'll be taking better care of my patient's wounds. Perhaps with my new found knowledge, I'll be slightly more courageous and bravely discuss the care of wounds and sores with some of the doctors. Not all, but at least some... One or two of them are definitely off limits.. I don't want to be called a "nut" again...
Cheers!
