Still groggy...

A pat on my back! I made it through the 3-week headnursing rotation. We did all three shifts. My last week were nights. And today I am officially recuperating from my post-nights bioclock status. I learned pretty much from the whole experience. Oh yeah, and you can actually fall asleep while your eyes are open. A teacher told us once about this study on rats who were sleep-deprived for three days... they died. So, warning to all students out there, if you feel like you're hitting your 3rd sleepless (unless that IS exactly what you're AIMING for..hehe), spare yourself a 5-minute nap. That will probably buy you some time.
I am awed by the world of the employed. Were these guys really students once? Man, I feel like I've only learned 0.9% of what I'm supposed to have learned by now. *shiver!*
Another scary gossip... they are revising the whole board exam. It is no longer integrated. So this time, it's one booklet for med-surg, another for MCN.. you get the picture. Oh, crap. I bet the faculty are squirming this very minute. They've dodged to many of our review nights. And now the fact is hitting them dead on their faces... we, the graduates, are simply knowledge-deprived. Oh ho ho! Their asses are so gonna be kicked, when, God forbid, our batch will hit the bottom of the rank list.
Everyone is dead nervous.

I hope it's true what the books say, that mild anxiety can actually help one to do better, like study for example... I hope it holds true for us anyway. Because so far, when under pressure, all we guys do is eat twice as much.
