Nothing much to report personally. Been under the weather the last couple days. I really feel at a loss for words...hmmm...
Oh, I know, work sucks...kinda. It looks like we are going to lose two students from my class. One for major attendance issues - which is a shame because I can see her being a great nurse, when she shows up. The other - I can't imagine her being a good nurse so it may be just as well if she gets tossed out. She's on strict probation for numerous issues that I won't go into here because it's really rather boring. The boss seems to be in a crabby mood lately so no one can do right - or at least this is the way I am feeling. I am finishing grading the first assignment, which was a culture paper. It's depressing - some write well but then don't address all of the criteria so they lose points. Others write almost as well as my 12 -year-old but at least address all the criteria requested. Grrr. I can't win.
What's still good about work? We are getting closer and closer to OB!!!!! Meanwhile, clinicals are going well for OB and peds. I can't wait to show students the Gentle Birth Choices DVD I got recently. I'm reminding them frequently that birth is not always like what they see in the hospital (it's a county hospital which should tell you a lot about the experiences they are getting). That birth can be very different...and of course, I am always reminding them about being sensitive to the needs of the patients. They are a good group of students and are so excited to be there :)

You will snap out of it. You have such an uplifting job. I always cry when babys are born. I often watch 'the yummy mummy' in the afternoon.
I just wanted to check in and see if you are still around. I look every few days, but nothing new. Last you wrote, you weren't feeling well. I hope it was nothing serious and all is well in your world.
I'm still here - thank you for checking!!!!
