I figured out why I continually have heartburn.

this term is so stressful 😭 I have a presentation due in 24 hours, and then another one due Sunday evening. I did my midterm today (it’s week 3… but that’s what happens when class is 5 weeks long!), which I feel okay about, but ugh it was so stressful. I have to read for Wednesday. I’m trying to balance my school life with work (work is INSANE. The emails never end, then add actually thoughtfully grading two courses is a LOT), and doing fun things. Like yesterday I went out and played Pokemon and went shopping for some stuff and Costco. I have the Fjorester wedding on Wednesday immediately after class and ep 3 of CR4 on Thursday.

AND I’m in this training future faculty program and anxious about what I’ll do for the teaching observations. We do a micro teaching and then two teaching obs - and like, I guess I could do one of my presentations but it also doesn’t feel like teaching? I’ll ask. But there is work for that on top of stuff and I feel very overwhelmed.

So yeah, no wonder I have heartburn 😭😭😭

One of my students described a wound as “hella soupy” in her patient presentation the other day and tbh I’m using that one

Nurse education

So, medical professionals have props they practice things on. Cpr dummies, arms for infusion, things like that.

While getting out of the car one day, my mom goes, "Cmon, Janet" to seemingly nothing. After having Chester Chest and Presston ride with us, i could guess that Janet was another such prop. So i asked, "Another one?"

And she stops... looks hesitantly into her bag for a second... and says, "...its part of Janet. Im teaching a class how to put in catheters. We have Janet, and we have Joey, but Joey's seem to go missing, for some reason."

My mother's tools of the trade are disembodied cooches and dicks named Janet and Joey the Genitals.

And the Joeys get stolen.

Today I delivered my first lecture as a nurse educator! It was a presentation I developed on ACS and I presented to approximately 90 students in an auditorium style classroom.

So glad my first lecture is over but also so proud of myself for how well I did! I received great feedback from members of my clinical group, and one girl even asked me if my ICU is hiring techs because she wants to work there after hearing me talk.

Research Theory

Before exploring how theory shapes research, this series provides a useful introduction to what theory is and how it is developed and tested. It offers a helpful foundation for understanding the role theory plays in explaining phenomena and guiding research. What Is Theory? 2. What is Theory Building? 3. What is Theory Testing?
