Evidence Based Practice
So, part of the homework load for this long weekend--I have to design an algorhythm for diagnosing, given pharyngitis.Is this what medicine has come to? I find this class interesting (having been a nerd in a former life) but this is so much work for a 1 unit class! And, are we getting away from patient care by training nurses to be database architects?
I dunno.
seems like busy work right now.

An algorhythm for diagnosing? Are you freaking kidding me?!
Nursing school blows! If I'd of known what a pain in the ass it was going to be, I would have seriously reconsidered my 'changing careers' decision.
They barely teach us what we need to learn, and then they keep up busy with bullshit assignments.
It's 9:30pm on Sunday night, I've been studying ALL weekend, and now I have to sit down and write my own eval. (One of my biggest pet peeves is when instructors tell me to write my own evaluation.) 1) What the *bleep* do you get paid for! and 2) After doing this for so many years, one would think you'd have evals saved so you could just 'pop' in a new name and save the students some work!
I don't know how they justify that this will help us tend to patients! It's just more busy work from them passing the buck onto us.
ARRGH!!! Can you tell I'm a little stressed right now? :-)
Hang in there chica, we'll be done soon!
LOL!
I KNOW!
the only think keeping me going is that I do so well in clinicals! It's the BS didactic classes (ok, those aren't THAT bad) but the other filler classes, the ones they threw in that were overflow from the master's portion, I could with a lot less of those.
My least favorite class right now is "Issues of Nursing Practice." You've GOT To be kidding me.
I mean, it's interesting to know about Florence Nightingale, and Ida Orlando, Dorothy Johnson, Jean Watson, Patricia Benner, Rosemarie Parse, Sister Callista Roy, Myra Levine, Betty Neuman, Dorothea Orem, Martha Rochers, Virginia Henderson, Faye Glenn Abdellah, Imogene King, (yawn, checks watch)
But REALLY...TESTING me on who did what and at what year? Who was a nurse in the battle field of which war, which was faught in which country, does THAT really matter when I need to know drug interactions and IV drip rates?!
(oh, I kick myself when I think of the other schools I got into)
