First week in review

late as usual 80)

Well this first week of nursing school was hectic to say the least. We had to review a bunch of skill that included us giving each other IM (intramuscular) shots in the shoulders and starting IV's on each other. I had to do the IV first and demonstrate for everyone because of my experience. When I got done my hands were shaking so bad, i asked deann if she wanted me to do another (she's who i stuck) and for some reason she declined. 80) Hey it is nerve racking having 10 people looking over your shoulder! We only had to cover four chapters last week but it was just hard to get into the flow of things. This week is looking to be a lot more organized and calm (in perspective). Anyway that was a summary of last week.

First day of school





Well today was the first day of nursing school for me at Stevens Henager. We just had a intro, hand out syllubus and start of chapters for the first half of the day.

Here are a couple pics of some of the girls in out class. ps. ashley and i look horrid in our pic 80) bad lighting!! she got a much better one of us i'll post when i get it.

Las Vegas

Ok so my friend Ashley from nursing school and I went for a weekend of fun in Las Vegas from thurs 16th-sun20th. The first night we pigged out on crab legs at this awesome seafood buffet, we watched a little show at the Rio which is like mardi gras without the vulgarity and all the floats are attached to the ceiling of the building.
The second day we went all over the strip shopping and then that night we went out to dance and we were out a little late (4.30am). Sat we did a little more shopping and got to see Bodies... The exhibition which are preserved cadavers and different preserved body systems, it was awesome to see! We also went out to dance sat night but didn't last as long. Sun we got up, ate some breakfast and flew home. We do have some battle scars as Ashley fell on some wet cement fri and I biffed it on some stairs at the Tropicana. I also managed to rip some of my left thumb apart getting into a cab and we both have blisters and bruises from wearing heals two nights in a row dancing. However Ashley who never wears heals is in a lot more pain than I am. 80) here are some pics of our hotel room.


This is the room were we stayed at The Platinum Hotel and Spa. (we got an awesome price online!!)






This is the island in the kitchen and the living room.







This is from the kitchen you can see how the room connects to the living room (it was like a big circle you could walk through the kitchen to the living room into the bedroom and then into the bathroom which connects with the kitchen. )







to the left of the kitchen there is the bathroom and this is a pic through the doorway where you can see the shower.







This was an amazing bathtub I wish I had. It was about 4'x5' and 3'deep with jets all around. There are some fun pics i'll post later when we were soaking our feet the first night and I put way to much bubble bath in.







And these were our fluffy comfortable beds that we crashed on each night or morning.
