Today was such a great day! I, along with about 75 other students, went to a public school to assist the school nurse do health screenings on the kids. The school has kindergarten through third grade. In just under three hours we were able to screen 280 kids! We did vision tests, height and weights, and also checked for color blindness and depth perception. I was at a station checking depth perception. This was pretty fun. I had the kids put on some really fancy neon orange glasses, aka 3-D glasses, and they had two cards to look at. One of the cards they would see a raised E and the other, nothing. They had to identify the raised E. It was fun to see how serious they took this quick task. So many smiles and so many adorable kids!! I can't wait until I get to do my pediatrics rotation!! Kids make me so happy :)
Now, I am baby-sitting and need to focus on studying for pharmacology and finishing my case study paper. This paper is 12-13 pages and due on Wednesdsay. My first pharm exam is this Thursday and I am already feeling the nerves in my stomach. This looks like the beginning of a long work filled weekend and stressful week ahead. Only two more weeks until a week off!! That means only two more weeks of psychology and the psych ward until we switch to advanced med surg. I am already nervous!! I am seeing a trend.
Off to work I go!
