Week Two

Oh my gosh, I can actually do a blood pressure and pulse without whacking my new
"sistahs" in the head with my stethoscope (Thanks for your love and patience group 6)!
My goal for next week: count respirations while taking a full minute pulse...baby steps.

What a week...so much new, detailed and exciting information. Can I remember it all
and then be able to connect the dots (critical thinking)? Clinicals and Test time are right around
the corner. I can her my mom saying to me right this very minute-"stop anticipating
and start participating-it will all fall into place, Patti Jo".

A funny: while reciting infection control facts out loud this week, my husband grabbed a
guitar and started singing " MRSA-MRSA me, staph bacteria ain't what it used to be" to the
tune of the late-great Marvin Gaye song tilted Mercy Mercy Me. Thank God for levity
and supportive family.
