I am home relaxing a bit between classes since my lab isnt until tomorrow and I thought it would be a nice time for a post, even if it will likely prove a brief one (I have to go back sometime).
Not that this counts as a typical day (thank god), but this is an idea of what kind of days we do go through in the school sometimes (like yesterday for instance).
8-10am: Lab - learning to assess neurological disorders by testing distal (far away) parts of the body to ensure whether or not any of the 12 cranial nerves are functioning improperly. Tests include various tappings, flexations, and palpations of the body. Hard to believe we will be doing this kind of thing for real in the not too distant future.
10:15-11:15: PDA training - nifty little things. Has the drug guides etc on them. Plus you can surf the internet. A good way to unravel for 10 minutes in between courses.
12-2:00: Genetics - Learning how to map genetic outcomes using punit squares (started from the easy to do 4-square punits finding out what colors eyes someone was likely to have and advanced quickly into trying to decipher if someone would have a child with an X-linked disorder if their grandmother was a recessive carrier........the classes move quick).
2:30-3:50: Got a reprieve of sorts, the class that was going to take place, Nursing Science, was moved to online. Can deal with it later and use the time to study for the first pharmacology exam.
4-5:00 - First exam. Outcome to be determined tomorrow.
5-6:30 - Pharmocology lecture on the brain...........the ENTIRE brain. Mine was full to the point of spillage when the class was done. Yikes! This is a lot of information to synthesize.
7:00 - home. Yeah!
Allright, time to go back to class. This weekend there is a Genetics test to do, a paper in Nursing Science, a write up case history on another person (my roommate and I are going to do one on each other) and studying for the next Pharmocology exam on tuesday. Keep em crossed for all of us in the program.........it is just starting to ramp up.
