And what??? Tease it out...

Anyone who is currently in class with me right now knows exactly what I'm talking about from the subject line, and those of you that have yet to experience psychiatric nursing at it's finest will soon understand. Today was another one of those days where you just want to escape from clinicals and go running out of there like a truly "crazy" person. My unit buddy and I were bored from the very beginning and then they made us go to this DBT group where the room was about 90 degrees. Ya, sitting in a hot room with a bunch of adolescents watching them play with scrunchies was really high on my priority list when I woke up this a.m. Needless to say the rest of the a.m. was spent roaming through the charts to determine if any of them were worthy of us actually doing a care plan on. Yep, you guessed it...nope but we still had to get info on at least two of them.

The highlight of our day. Then it was time for "post clinical conference." Let me just tell you this is supposed to be the highlight of our day because it signals clinicals are over for the day and it's usually low stress. Today we had to give presentations, and they were good presentations even if I do say so myself, but then our 'instructor' launches into all these "dissertation points" or something like that. I'm thinking if she really wanted to teach the subject she should've just done it instead of assigning it for 5% of our grade. Ya...5%. Basically, I could've had a monkey do the assignment and it wouldn't have affected my final grade at all. Ah...one has to love the trials and tribulations of doing this stuff for nursing school. Stress relief needed? DEFINITELY.
