School and work!!

I took my first test for the semester yesterday and barely passed it. It was a rude awakening to the lack of knowledge that I possess. Nah, it was just that I don't study as much as I should and it really was the hardest test of nursing school. It focused a lot on ventilators and the settings and ABG's and leadership. IT WAS HARD! Most of the class failed the test and that set the mood for the rest of class, lots of complaining. My class has the biggest whiners of all! You would think we were in Jr. High again or something! It gets on my nerves because we are suppose to be adult learners, but some whine about everything!!!!!! Anyways, I am a very good test taker(or guesser)!!!! I'll move on and study more for my next test, I'm just trying to pass!!!
Nathele and I got to work together today for 4 hours and we had a good time. We aren't "allowed" to work together because we are sisters, go figure. Something called Nepatism? sp?
Tell me what little town doesn't have family working together? It happens all over the hospital but for some reason it's not allowed in the nursing home?? Anyways, we had a good time, smiling, laughing, playing with the residents, tricking them (most couldn't tell us apart)! I told the social worker that the nursing home would be a happier place if her and I could work together more often, he agreed!!!! Nani and I use to work together alot at Sandy Regional and we loved it! NOt the work, just being able to be there together! It's interesting how they pay so much attention to some dumb regulations and forget about the importance of the patients and the care they are getting!!!! Hmmmm, something is wrong with this picture! I'm really trying to stay positive about my job but sometimes I struggle! I have to do a research leadership paper and I was going to write about how one positive person can make a big difference in a negative atmosphere, but I am struggling to be positive!!!!!!!
Any advice, comments? I'll report back later on this whole positive matter!
