How racist. How dare you. How dare you refuse to pronounce my daughter’s name. Come on, Makayleighlough, let’s go home.
@therunnersam on a serious note how is that said?
It’s pronounced “Jessica” but I like that unique spelling.
Osce studying 😴😴
7 things that I have learned from nursing clinicals thus far.....
Clinicals... many love them, some hate them. They are the right of passage we all must go through as student nurses. Here is what I have learned, as a nursing student, in a world that can be both intimidating and exhilarating all at once....
1. Volunteer to do everything!
(with your nurse supervision of course) the more hands on experience you get the more confidence you acquire. Taking the initiative will also expose you to potential experiences you might not have had otherwise. If your nurse feels like you are helping them, then they might help you get to do some really cool things like get into a surgical procedures.
2. Ask questions:
especially if you don’t know what a drug, procedure, etc. is. It shows that you are interested in learning.
3. Talk with your patients as much as possible.
They are the ones that have the disease process and are good resources especially if it is a chronic illness. They will know how certain drugs are affecting them, any procedures, symptoms they experience, etc. It also helps build good patient/nurse rapport.
4. Right off the bat... ask your patients, “What are your goals for today/ your total stay?” and “What do you expect from your care?”
these kinds of questions will help you with care planning and making your “nursing diagnoses and patient outcomes” patient centered. It will also give you a direction to begin your care.
5. Not everyone you work with is pleasant and that is ok.
Many times nurses, doctors, surgeons, etc might be having a bad day (remember they work long hours, day in and day out) and don't realize how it might affect a “baby/ student nurse” or it is just they way they are. Don't get me wrong, by any means this does not excuse any mistreatment. The best thing you can do is brush off any comments and thank them for the opportunity to work with them regardless of your experience. One day you may work with them again.
6. Always say goodbye and thank your nurse and patients for the day when you leave.
For your patients, It is the final step in the nurse/ patient relationship and shows that you really care and appreciate working with them. For your nurse, it shows the same (and remember that you may end up working with them later in life, make as many good and strong connections as you can now).
7. Finally, any experience whether “good or bad” is a learning experience.
Clinicals are what you make of them. If you are a student who stands behind your preceptor nurse like a little puppy without helping, or you sit around all day you will most likely not learn as much nor enjoy the experience. Remember to take initiative and smile! Good things come to those who seek them. One of my favorite quotes is “Taking initiative does not mean being pushy, obnoxious or aggressive, but recognizing your responsibility to make things happen.”
how I revise for exams...
everyone revises for exams differently, and there’s no ‘one size fits all’, but an important part of revision for everyone is breaking your subjects down into manageable chunks.
This year, I have really taken my methods seriously, so this has become a key way I revise for my exams.
as you can see, there’s a blank table, but this can become so much more than that.
Fill in your subject title at the top - you make take 4-5 subjects, so you can have 4-5 of these planners.
eg. pharmacology 1
Break said subject into the individual topics you studied this semester
eg. cardiovascular system, nervous system, pain, opioids
Break individual topics into individual sections
eg. Cardiovascular system:
hypertension
A –> E of hypertension treatment
major side effects, minor side effects
contraindications
causes of hypertension
primary vs. secondary hypertension
outcomes of untreated hypertension
heart failure
stages
outcomes
identification of heart failure
treatment
drugs - indications, classes
side effects [major and minor]
coagulation
coagulation cascade
virchow’s triad
coagulation risk factors
coagulation medication
new anticoagulants
warfarin
heparin
streptokinase
clopidogrel
aspirin
indications for sole aspirin treatment
warfarin treatment planning
Now you’ve thoroughly broken down your subjects, it’s important to identify what needs more revising and what needs less revision. - before highlighting you may want to make an unhighlighted photocopy of your plan, so you can re-highlight it again in a few days - week time.
I tend to use 3 highlighters - one for each face on the chart - highlighting each individual broken down area of each topic - giving me an idea where to focus when I allocate time to said subject.
Once you have identified areas of the individual topics that may need extra attention, identify how well you understand the topic as a whole - here you can use the three faces as an overall measure.
I tend to do this with a highlighted line in the box of the face for each topic - I also find it useful to put a date on when I make this identification, so when I move from 😟 -> 😕 ->😄 I know how long it took!
This has been a method that has worked quite effectively over the last exam period, and we’re all in the same boat - trying to find what works for us. When you annotate the life out of this revision planner and it moves from being a blank table to something full of life and writing and colour, it becomes your greatest tool and one of your best friends!
happy studying

Generation Gap in Nursing Part I
Today is graduation day.
It’s about 7:46am, I pull my freshly ironed white nursing uniform on, nursing shoes, and I pin my hair back. I pop on a cap, a throwback to the nurses of the past. I’m nervous, excited and grateful. I’m sharing this day with friends, family and favorite professors, and I’m sharing this day with the college program celebrating its 40 year Nursing Program anniversary. It’s a day of firsts, and I feel a hope for the future, new beginnings on the horizon.
It’s 2016
Today is my third week on the unit, a specialized unit of oncology, pediatric population. I feel thrown, as we only had a mini rotation in nursing school of each of these disciplines, yet I feel supported now, as we had the blessing of an educator at our side during clinicals, just as I have the blessing of nurse educators now checking in on my progress to ensure I’m not drowning, I have the blessing of a preceptor who won’t abandon me. She’s sort of new too, maybe two years in, and I’m grateful, as the older nurses seem sort of set in their ways, and annoyed by us new nurses.
I pause, and I look around at the unit that will soon become a home; it’s a closed unit, no windows, a solo bed in each room, odd smells drifting in and out, loud beeps of alarms, technology & machinery I can’t even name yet, nurses rushing in and out of rooms, a good mix of male and female nurses, business sort of administrators at the desk, plus nurses and doctors laughing & chatting while they sit together at the nursing station.
It’s the anniversary of my starting my new job, I’ve been here a year, and they’ve collected all of us graduate nurses into a celebratory lunch, complete with coupon for a massage.
I look around the room, at all the tired looking faces of my fellow graduates, and I wonder, have they experienced a similar disappointment with the older nurses?
Have they feared coming onto the shift when an older nurse is in charge, only to see they’ve been given the worst assignment “to teach you to sink or swim, just like us”
I wonder, have they felt ostracized from a group they’d hoped to fit in with?
I wonder, have they listened to the snipes about young nurses not appreciating their battles, without considering they’re facing many battles of their own?
I wonder, have they also faced a scary older nurse in report, one who carefully scrutinizes your patient head to toe and shakes her head muttering under her breath?
I wonder, have any of them been told they haven’t “earned their right to be there yet?”
I wonder, how many of my fellow new orientees have considered leaving their units in search of common ground?
…I look down at my massage coupon, and it seems ridiculous, but I’m thankful for this slip of paper that will allow me to lay back and be pampered for a minute, instead of slaughtering my body lifting and turning patients. I’m appreciative of my coworkers, the new nurses like me who are quick to help, share what they’ve learned so far, without judgment, entitlement, or snarky comments, I’m grateful to be a nurse, and I hope that when I look back in 40 years, I will still be grateful and not remembered for crossing over to the dark side of bullying.
The thoughts of a baby nurse, about a year in.
Microsoft OneNote tutorial for study, class and lecture by emmastudies
Hello! I have had numerous people message me about how I structure my notes for OneNote so I thought I would put together a tutorial! Above is a small run down of the program and my little two cents on each feature. But now I’m going to go into a little more detail to help anyone who is looking for somewhere to type their notes. Through I’ll suggest my ideas on how to use OneNote for different reasons including study notes, class notes and lecture/tutorial notes.
Set up and use:
Start by downloading OneNote from the App Store or from their website if you’re using a PC. It is free!!! I would definitely recommend downloading the mobile or tablet app as well.
Sign in with an Outlook account and begin making your notebooks. For high school I would suggest a new notebook for each class. For university, I had one notebook for the entire semester. As I go into my second semester I’ll make a new one, and so one. For study notes, it is up to you. You could either make one notebook for all your study notes and use sections to divide per subject or make a new notebook for each subject again. Or simply and a new section in the existing notebook. Notebooks are linked to OneDrive meaning you can close the notebook and reopen it at any time. They’re automatically saved too, so you can edit on your phone and when you use your computer it is updated!
Start creating sections. These act as dividers so depending how you have structured your notebook, make them for either each topic of your subject (high school) or each of your classes/subjects (university). For my high school class/study notes I made a new section for each new topic and for university I have one per subject. As you can see in the photoset; my notebook was legal studies (subject) and each section was for a topic (crime, human rights, family, consumers, assessments and homework).
Create your pages for each time you have class. Add the title of what you’re doing and start typing your notes. For my lectures I usually just name them “lecture 1”, “lecture 2” because I’m lazy, however for study notes I would use each subheading of the topic in the syllabus. If you’re wanting to understand my headings and subheadings completely I suggest checking out the legal studies syllabus that I created the above notes too (you can see it here on page 26).
Time for decoration and colour coding. Usually as I’m typing I bold or underline and colour code but you can always go back and do it as a revision method. This also gives you a chance to add any extra information you find! You can see an explanation of my colour code in the final image of the photoset. I found colour coding and formatting super helpful when I was studying for my HSC final exams!
Printing time! When I had finished my study notes (or class notes) I would print them so I had a physical copy to highlight and annotate. Here is where it gets a little fiddly. To print on one A4 size piece of paper without cutting off half your text, you need to shrink the size of the text box. This is what you might see - with half the text cut off. I would say reduce it to about half the original size - you can usually see on print preview how close it is to the edge. After you have made the textbox thinner, it should look like this. Another tip is printing using one sheet for two or more pages. This helps to reduce the amount of paper you’re using. On the print settings look for “pages per sheet” and change it to the number of pages you want (obviously the more pages, the smaller the font). It should look something like this (I’m not 100% sure if every computer or printer has this option, but for reference I use an Epson printer).
That is pretty much it for how I use OneNote for my all my different types of notes! It is very simple once you’ve organised everything! I would 100% recommend this program. We were advised to use it in year 9 when we received laptops from the government and I’ve not stopped using it. Althought there are some different between the Mac and PC versions, the main elements are the same. However you can check out this post by @vanesastudies which is for the PC version. I hope this tutorial was helpful. If there is anything I’ve missed out, drop me an ask. Thank you for reading! x

01.04.16 I finally have my hands on the official textbook for this exam so my notes are coming along much quicker and in so much more detail thankfully! The weather today and generally this week has been amazing. It’s just lifted my mood so much 😁😃
love the clean color palette :)

happy tuesday!
240416 - THANK YOU for 800+ followers!! I started on a studyblr just so I could share my notes and photos and to get inspired; I certainly did not expect this!
Today, I’m working on some key political science terms and trying not to freak out now that I have 4 extremely heavy papers in the next week. I’ve been getting questions about the materials I use so:
1) the black pen is actually a really cheap house brand from Popular bookstore 2) the coloured flashcards are from a SG brand called Ugrade(.com.sg) 3) I use recycled paper so it’s actually the blank side of my sisters’ old music scores you’re seeing
Moral of the story: Don’t feel troubled about using expensive things for your studyblr, save the stress for your cramming instead :-)
