Actually I didn't get very much of one. My class starts at 7am and runs until 1:30. The campus closed at noon. So it was just long enough for them to cram everything they wanted to teach us into one day. They even had the four of us who signed up to be checked off on our vital taking skills tested. I was the only one who passed. Apparently out of the class before us only one person passed as well. So I'm really proud of myself right now. I practiced, put in extra time in the open lab and with family/friends. I feel bad for my classmates that didn't pass. Before I went in there everyone was saying that the simulator was broken because no one was passing, but the tester had checked the simulator, our teacher tested it and they both said it was fine. Of course when I passed one of the girl's said that they had to pass someone. Which was stupid because I took their, the girls who had gone before me, advice when I went in there and listened carefully. I took my time. I triple checked all my readings. I made a mistake on the first one because I put my sethoscope in the wrong place. I put it where the BP cuff said I should, which wasn't actually where I was suppose to put it, but once that was corrected I was fine. So whatever to her I'm just going to go right on being proud of myself.
I rewarded myself with taking some time for myself and just relaxed for a bit.
