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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Paper

Hum, I’m searching resourses for my paper in maternal nursing class. Over the last hour, I found a bunch. This should be a good start.
3rd clinical day (Labor & Delivery Unit)
Posted by: WittyRuby on: September 9, 2008
This week’s clinical was another fantastic day for me. I got to see 2 Cesarean sections. The nurses were very good in explaining things and let me have some hands-on experience.
The first C-section case I saw was carried out because the baby was in a breech position. There was a mistake among the caring team that the mom had [...]
2nd clinical day on Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Posted by: WittyRuby on: September 2, 2008
Today I had a totally different experience from last week at Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. I had more hands-on experiences with the babies, simple things such as checking their vital signs, and feeding them, but made me feel so good. They are such little cute babies.
First of all, I listened to the shift report with [...]
My 1st clinical (Mother Baby Unit)
Posted by: WittyRuby on: August 30, 2008
Here I am, excited and stressful again to be back to school and have the 1st clinical for the semester. I think keeping my journal and sharing it with everyone is a good thing:
We all get the orientation, get to know our instructor and the facility. I have the impression that she is a good instructor [...]

- 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.
