What's Da deal?

Ok, so here we go on our third week of Med-Surg and no grades or teacher. Our first week of class we had a quiz. Grades should have been posted 24 hours later...(wishful thinking. Second week comes along, we have had a quiz, a test, and two care plans...ah yes and no grades. Oh did I forget to mention it's school policy to post grades with in 24 hrs? So here we go, week three is round the corner, no grades-which sucks cause mid-terms are just about here and none of us know where we stand in the class-no teacher, and yeah half our classes clinical hours have been cut short by 9 hours. That blows!! I am one of the lucky ones who's clinical hours have been cut short and have been handed an assignment which has not been assigned yet. Am I making any sense? Neither does this class.

Our primary teacher seems cool, but she's been in the class only three days...we have her assistant teaching us...b-o-r-i-n-g!The primary is the one who makes up the test and the assistant is who lectures, so I don't feel like I am getting all the information I need for the quizzes and/or tests' which make absolutely no sense. Then, when you email the dang teacher she never get's back to you. 'Memeber me rambling on about an assignment that hadn't been assiggned yet? Yeah well in light of our us not having clinicals on Sunday they are making us do a case study...from a workbook with no text. According to the book you need the text to do the assignments and last time I checked the workbook is not part of our textbook package. Soooo, our teacher has not not sent us what our duties are for Sunday..according to La's theory they'll probably wait til Sunday morning to assign the work to us since we were supposed to be at Relay for Life Sunday...this sucks!

What's da deal with this school? I love clinicals, all that hands, patient-nurse interaction is what I have been waiting for. I love feeling like I am actually making a difference in their lives. I love taking care of my patients and making them feel they they are top priority while at the hospital. The only part I hate is when I have to say goodbye and when I have to take off my shoes-ah, here comes the pain, but I couldn't ask for a more rewarding job. I just wish these darn teachers would get their act together, get their priorites straight, and communicate with one another and the class as a whole. But, I guess that's part of the role of a nursing student. All I gotta say is Thank God only 7 more months!!!!
