Thai food

I hate feeling sick.

It makes me want to strangle somebody.

Take note: don't be around me when I'm sick.

All you'll get from me is silence and ice cold glares.

Mama and I are both sick.

But we went out anyway to get our watches fixed.

And she bought me a new one <3 thank you mama

Then had lunch at Line Thai (awesome place btw, highly recommended). Price is a bit high but food is delish.

Appetizer: Chicken satay

And soup with shrimp.

Forgot to take a pic of the main entree GAH!!

Felt slightly better afterwards.

Now back to studying T_T

Post birthday/Valentine's celebration

I wasn't even planning on going to hang out with the girls last night.

Periods hit early and I really felt like shit.

Didn't even want to get out of my bed.

... but I was seduced.

Food is, after all, my weakness. 

I'm not crazy enough to say no to buffalo wings!

My birthday's long passed so I seriously didn't think much about it. I've put it all behind me. 

I've moved on and expected everyone else did too.

Sos I go into the apartment,

and out comes Sam holding a cake with candles in it.

Gotta admit I was slightly embarrassed. 

No wonder you insisted on me coming! 

Even used food as bait... how shameless.

Nevertheless, you guys made me feel special.

I really do appreciate all and every little effort put into putting all that together.

Thanks... you guys are awesome.

And Sam, don't worry. The shakiness is barely noticeable ;)

Since the four of us are still single, you guys are my Valentine.

So I'm glad to have spent Valentine's day with you all.

Remediation 2/2

Second remediation went well.

Still need to work on my prioritization.

I KNEW I SHOULDA PUT THAT O2 ON HER. 

I'm sort of frustrated that I couldn't answer prof. G's question though.

She felt like throwing up when she didn't even have anything to eat for hours!

WELL DUH you pushed that medication way too fast.

Should have known I had to work in REAL TIME.

My memory will be the death of me eventually.

But other than that, I guess I did fine with everything else.

Now I have all that done, I can put it behind me.

Still worried about Sam though.

She said she'd come to open lab right after but I didn't see her there.

Hope her remediation went well.

Nursing Skill 101

This is just for me to remember certain steps on performing IVPB through a saline lock.

1. The basics: Identify patient, provide privacy, check orders, wash hands, evaluate patient, then review or explain procedure to the patient.

2. Prime secondary bag.

3. Calculate rate, re-check/look up medication determining its action, onset, peak, duration, side effects and nursing implications.

4. Assess the patient. Assess the site for tenderness, pain, redness, and swelling.

5. Unclamp tubing, flush with 3 ml of saline and watch for phlebitis and infiltration.

6. Connect primary tubing to the saline lock.

7. Connect secondary tubing to the primary tubing and back prime it.

8. Lower primary bag.

9. Set the pump to the correct rate. 

10. Make sure all the clamps are open (roller clamp and tubing clamp).

11. After 30 minutes or after secondary bag is done infusing, come back to the room and assess the patient for any adverse reactions.

12. Turn off the pump.

13. Disconnect the tubing from the saline lock.

14. Then flush the saline lock with 5 ml of saline.

15. Document.

Remediation Part 1/2

Finished the first part of remediation. 

Now onto the second one next week!

Didn't even know my former partner in sim was rescheduled to have hers today as well.

Them OB students were in there too, taking up all the chairs. 

How dare they.

Me: Hey Sam, can I sit on your lap?

Samantha: (laughs and getting a bit red at this point)

First time I ever made someone blush like that.

Bawww.

Don't sue me for sexual harassment onegai huhuh :\

Also, I guess we're gonna be having a new instructor for block 3.

Think her name was Kelsie? Notsure how to spell it.

But damn. Cute as hell!!

Too bad she's not teaching this semester hurrr. 

Lucky juniors... those guys will be all over her!

All in all, remediation went well.

Hoping I'll please the other instructor next week.

Go gentle on me por favor.

Lucky charm

I didn't really give a shit when J gave this thing to me.

She bought this in Japan and it's supposed to be a charm to help me with my studies.

Honestly, I don't believe in all this lucky charm bullshit.

But I guess

the reason I keep this hanging in my room is to remind me

that she's cheering me on.

Thank you J.

FT

I wanna go to a nice beach this summer T_T

What I'd give to turn back time.

GIVE ME BACK VACATION DAYS!

I don't wanna go back to school T^T

AAAHHHH my Erza <3

Two of my favorite characters in Fairy Tail

Erza and Mirajane!

Sends shivers down my spine... or up my spine?

Can't forget about Mavis >_<

I love Aquarius too <3

And the spunky Virgo

This is how badass Erza is... aka Titania or the female knight

Mirajane and her take over

Dat innocent face though

Then onto the pets

Panther lily <3 the little tough guy, Gajeel's cat geehee

Who's also afraid of thunder bwahaha

And this strangely cute fella, Plue

I don't quite approve of Jellal but if he makes my Erza happy then it can't be helped.

This totally shocked me. Never thought there'd be something like this in FT

That scene had me like

I definitely admire these two's friendship though

Huhuhu two more semesters
