FUN WITH A DUMMY

Hey! So I've been up since 5:15 this morning and it's now 11:50. I have to get up at the same time tomorrow and be in the lab. I haven't stopped running or reading or taking care of the rest of my crazy world! So what better time then spilling it all out here in my blog that I found out does get read by my girls @ my old work and a couple of my friends. Gotta love the loyalty!! :)

So here's the thing. The dummy's look like men. But when you pull back the blanket it's a vagina. Pretty real looking, too. And not that I'm judging the people that want to look like men and have womanly parts (?) but on a dummy, can we get one that's like neutral? Come on - There's people like that everywhere! You can go to Walmart and find someone that you can't figure out if it's a girl or a guy. Any Walmart - Anywhere in AMerica. I can guarantee it. So why can't we have dummy's that are like that? End rant.
We had to do a bed bath on the shim dummy. With the vagina that should have been a penis. It would have been easier if it was a penis, you know. And we video taped it. You gotta see this - It's freakin hilarious! We had to stop and redo it at parts so when I re-watched it, I would say put up the bedrail - Then I put the bed rail back up. I would say "I'm going to wash my hands now.... and it would take me a full minute to get back in the frame. And I wasn't even actually washing my hands.... Very funny stuff :)
Just got done my reading for the week! Yay! I finally caught up haha! The next step is to get next week's assignments done. Then the week after is clinicals. I should know by Friday where I'm going to be. I thought it was def Psych ward for me, but now it's all messed up. I think that they don't quite know what they're doing either, to be honest. You would think that they haven't been doing this for over a hundred years! Yes over a hundred years. So you would think they would be able to organize a class right? Nope. And double nope for organizing how we're doing our labs. We went up and down between three levels today five times. For an hour here and forty minutes there. Then back down again. I think they're trying to slim us down. Thinning the herd LOL
K - I'm done blowing off steam now I need to get some sleep. I'll post Friday where my clinicals are. Lots of Blessings ~ Mary

Oh yeah and I'm trying for co-president of the class with one of my clinical girls. Let's see how this one pans out ;) I should put a poll of when ya'll think I'm going to fall over and pass out. Can't stay there for long, though. My lab partners would get my BP and start a saline drip! Then it's back to getting some more enema training LOL!

LOL I swear do we go to the same nursing school? I remember those dummies. Wait until you get to practice foley insertion. Males are way easier (just grab & go LOL)! I wish you luck with your nomination...hope you get it!
