So now it's 4:30am, and I'm just finishing up my Multi-Grain Cheerios. Eating so early really sucks. I'm still full from dinner last night, but I know I'll be starved by lunch if I don't eat now. And let's be serious--I'll be starved anyway.
Today's my first clinical day on my psychiatric rotation. I have to drive into downtown Atlanta for this one, hence the early rising. Meeting my carpool at 5am, but at least the commute-in traffic won't be too bad.
I'll admit, I'm apprehensive about this. There's such a stigma on psych patients in our society, and it's hard to break away from your thoughts/beliefs without really knowing what it is that you think/believe. They really stress in school that to be a good nurse, especially psych nurse, you have to be 100% aware of your beliefs and schemas. Still working on that, I suppose.
So, try not to judge, right? I'll be trying not to, too.

Psych rotation, hell yeah! 3:45 wake up? Hell no!
ugh. So early. I had to get up at 2:30 the other day and i thought i wanted to die.
Also, man, knowing your beliefs and schemas in hard.
But i know you can do it. You know why? Because you're AWESOME!!
Wow. That's a crazy time to wake up. I usually haven't even gone to bed by then. haha.
My sister was a nurse in a psyche ward for about two years. Crazy job, but she learned a ton. I wish you luck with it!
That is way too early for me! haha :) I like to go to sleep around that time and not get up till 8 haha :)
I hope your day ended up going well! :)
