I have a Physical Assessment exam tomorrow at 10am, and if I don't get over 80%, I'll be on probation but have another chance at taking it. I have my fourth med term exam on Friday, and if I don't get at least an 80%, I think I get kicked out (I've always done very well on the med term, so I just haven't been bothered by the "or else",) I have a skills lab on Tuesday that is pass/fail and if I fail, I go on probation.... every week, every damn week is like this.

I've been working too much, which is adding to my stress. It's just, hrm, I'm very clever and I've always relied on being very clever but now I'm *old* and my brain is slower than it was. Bleh. Right now it is after 7pm my time, and my brain is officially off for the day. That's it, no more brains left. Tomorrow morning I will have great brains, so I will study then and I'm sure, well, fairly sure, that I will do well. I know the stuff, if I can just remember the pulse, respiration and temperature numbers.

This coming Friday, we start our four weeks of clinicals at the nursing home, and then there's 6 weeks at the hospital and BOOM, semester is done and Merry Christmas.

I'm off to walk the dog and then I'll play solitaire for half an hour and then put the kids to bed.

Edit: Got an 86%. Next up is tomorrow's skill evaluation (positioning and passing meds,) a training at the hospital on Wed and nursing home clinicals on Thursday and Friday. Wee!
