i'm calling this week "Testapallooza", since i have a total of 7 tests this week. today's was in positioning and was the written version, the lab competency is tomorrow. this chapter's topic is the lower extremities. did you know that the ankle mortise is an example of a synovial hinge joint? apparently i didnt either since that was one of the several i got wrong on today's test. today's score was my worst so far, an 89%. while not bad generally, relative to my other scores so far it is not so great.
now if i just keep my head down and "give'er hell!", as my dad used to say, i should survive this week of examinus maximus. on friday my wife's sister is flying into phx and after class i am picking her up and we are driving up to flag for the weekend. shes pretty cool to hang around with and it will be a nice little treat to have a visitor around after a long week of tests.

Best of luck this week. I know you can do it.
Patients needs, yes, very good topic on the previous post. I know all about needs it's amazing the 'needs' patients have as soon as they get a call bell in their mighty grip. Some warrented and some just want to see your smiling face every 5 minutes.
I went along for a CT scan last week with a very cranky patient. Interesting to view from the monitor and the tech was kind enough to point out all the 'parts' of the abdomin.
Seven tests!!? I've never had that many in one week. Good luck!!! I hated the synovial and elliptical and all those types of joints. We had that test before we learned the names of the bones, and so I missed a lot of questions because they would say, "What type of joint is the blablabla?" Uh, don't know where in the body that is.... LOL
Holy cow Dustin!!! Seven tests?! How the hell do you even have time to study for seven tests? Good luck! I'm sure you will do great but geez!
Congrats on your wonderful A&P test score! I couldn't believe the grade I got on mine...105%!
You have a wonderful weekend too!
