Study Group!

Time to study before school starts. This Monday (July 28) we will meet (probably at Lisa's house around 630?) and start going over all our Level 1 material. I've spread it out over four weeks, and we'll go from there.

Week 1: simple to get started
Therapeutic Communication
Safety & Infection Control
Mobility & Hygiene
the Nursing Process

Week 2: big assessment review
VS, I&O, Pulse Ox
Rest & Sleep
Oxygenation
Individual Health & Wellness
ALL ASSESSMENTS

Week 3: skills review. I'll try to schedule the lab
Skin Integrity & Wound Care
Bowel Elimination
Bladder Elimination
Chronicity
Autoimmunity
Blood Pressure
Types 1&2 Diabetes
Labs/Purpose/Values

Week 4: preview
the Drug modules
books
drug cards
final review/go over anything we missed

They call our program "auto-tutorial." I'm starting to think it's a code for "it's not our fault if they fail." If they don't want to invest the time or take responsibility, it's time we take control and succeed gloriously!
