My Tips to Get Good Grades

I’m writing this entry for myself, as I often forget my tips from previous tests to use in my next test. It’ll be great if you find them helpful for you, too 
.
To get good grades:
- When I study, study to get 100%…of course I never finish my studying to be confident that I could get 100%, this is just to motivate myself, KEEP STUDYING)
- When I’m about to take the exam, imagine that I’m gonna get only 85% and still feel ok with that —> relax –> less anxiety, better grade.
So, the idea is to convince yourself that it’s ok to get a lower grade than you expected, RELAX ^^…
(Don’t be too relax that you 
on the exam like me once 
, I got bad grade for that one
for being too anxious at first, and too relaxed at last. I find out I got 100% any time I did not want it badly, wish I could be calm and got luck more often
.)
Don’t change my answer if I:
- have no idea about the topic
- don’t have a really good reason for the change
1st clinical day in Med-Surg 2
Posted by: WittyRuby on: October 17, 2008
My mood is down now, you should not read, because I’m gonna whine a lot in this entry, and my whining will probably make you sick haha.
What was my impression? Oh, my feeling was not good, it’s gonna be worse than mom-baby clinical. The instructor looked serious. She rarely smiled. The facility did not look that great: small, and well…not a warm and welcomed place. There are tons of paperwork that need to be filled out while on the floor: care plan, patient profile, med, psycho- social assessment…. can’t believe it. The assignment are not clear, and as my med-surg clinical last semester, there will be a lot to prepare before the day.
Điều kỳ diệu của sự lạc quan

John là nguồn động viên tự nhiên nhất với mọi người. Nếu đồng nghiệp nào có một ngày làm việc tồi tệ, anh thường bảo họ cách nhìn ra khía cạnh lạc quan của hoàn cảnh. Chứng kiến điều này, tôi thực sự tò mò. Vậy là một ngày, tôi quyết định tới hỏi John: “Tôi không hiểu nổi! Không thể lúc nào anh cũng là người lạc quan. Vậy làm thế nào anh làm được điều đó?”. |
5th clinical day (Labor & Delivery Unit)
Posted by: WittyRuby on: September 27, 2008
I was on Labor and Delivery Unit. I expected to observe a vaginal birth, but there was none going on. The unit was slower than usual. There was only about 4 clients in the morning, and one of them did not want to have students. I was hanging around for a while, and then helped Kim prepare for a C-section of twin.

I want to go out
Posted by: WittyRuby on: September 20, 2008
Hic hic, hôm nay lại có dịp đi chơi mà N lại ko tham gia được, tiếc quá đi thôi. Thứ hai là quiz, 2 tuần liên tiếp có 3 exams, pharmacology, med-surg, maternal…môn nào cũng hay mà khó nuốt, ực ực. Còn cái paper chưa viết, cái project chưa đánh máy,…ko dám nhìn vô cái schedule nữa…
…need to manage time better soon, ko thì bị tẩu hỏa nhập ma mất, …Stress is when you know exactly what to do, but don’t do it. I can, and will do it, yeah!

4th Clinical Day (Mother-Baby Unit)
Posted by: WittyRuby on: September 20, 2008
This week’s clinical day was more as an observation day for me. I followed S.J. to assess a baby, and this time it was not as easy for me to listen to the baby’s breath sounds. This baby’s heart beats were not as strong and clear as other babies I had, so it’s harder to listen to his breath sounds.

Shania Twain
This is what a woman wants…
Any man of mine better be proud of me
Even when I’m ugly he still better love me
And I can be late for a date that’s fine
But he better be on time
Any man of mine’ll say it fits just right
When last year’s dress is just a little too tight
And anything I do or say better be okay
When I have a bad hair day
And if I change my mind
A million times
I wanna hear him say
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah I like that way

- Anti-Aging Medicine – Hope, Hype Or Hucksters? November 8, 2009Anti-aging can be a difficult topic to address because it has a number of different common meanings and connotations. Each is championed by a particular group or coalition of interests which define their terms in ways that can make the subject confusing.
