| I HATE THE FACT THAT I AM IN THE MIDDLE TWENTIES AND THAT I AM STILL BEING TREATED LIKE A CHILD. I HATE THE FACT THAT MY PARENTS HATE WHO I AM DATING. I HATE HOW THEY JUST JUDGE WITHOUT EVEN GETTING TO KNOW HIM. I WONDER WHEN THEY WILL ACCEPT IT. IT MAKES ME SAD AND YET WANTING TO REBEL AND MOVE OUT OF THE HOUSE. MY GOAL IS TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE IN A YEAR OR SO, SO I CAN DO WHATEVER THE HELL I WANT. | | |
| I am almost done with my LVN program. Just about 11 more school days and I'm out of that place!! Scared for the final, though not too worried cuz I have achieved grades. I would say I have like a 3.0 GPA in the school. Not too sure though. Once I am done with school, I hope to work at Macys and the office, and dedicate my time after or before work to study for the NCLEX. I think I can do it. Wait no, I KNOW i can do it. I plan to take the NCLEX sometime towards the end of the year. It's been such a struggle for me financially... I'm gonna stress within these next few months but it will be all worth striving for. Physically I am ready to work as an LVN.. Mentally, am I prepared to be working under the RN and caring the needs of patients? Am I ready to step in the field that my heart sets for? I'm scared, nervous and excited all at the same time. The next time I write in here, I hope I blog about passing the NCLEX!!! | | |
| Today we finally got to go to Crestwood Mental Health Center. I was scared in the begining because I did not know what to expect. Most of these people admitted to the clinic are drug addicts, thus are schizoaffective. Some people were yelling across the hall for no reason, some were calm one moment and then aggravated the next. Some would approach and introduce themselves and give you compliments. One fellow said that my mole represents intelligence and i should never remove it. I saw a crack addict, a violent, substance abuse, assault, and pregnant patients. A woman told me that I was pretty and that she liked my make up and eye brows. One guy who was barely 20 sang, rapped and danced. At the end of the day, he asked me for money. And he put his arm around me and classmate. My classmate was able to pull away. The staff members were telling him that it was inappropriate and he still wouldnt let go. After a while, he finally did and then he started to do some break dancing and my classmates and I managed to escape. My teacher held me just so he wouldnt see me. This was an interesting experience...Would I do mental health? I don't think so. I will drive myself crazy. We get to go back to finish 3 more days becuz we missed three days. It is sad that many people have mental illnesses. | | |
| Today some of my classmates and I went to a mini field trip to the Santa Clara County Coroner's office. We went to visit the deceased people. The slideshow was interesting. Sad and crazy how people can die. It was a very informative presentation and the presenter had some good stories. At the end of the presentation, he gave us a tour and we had to put bootie socks and masks on to protect our shoes and so that we wouldn't smell that much bad odor. I was thinking to myself, I can handle the smell, I can handle the smell. It's nothing. Once we walked into the refrigerator, I panicked! I tried holding my breath, and breathing through my mouth...but my stomach just couldn't do. My teacher saw me cover my nose and her instinct was that I was going to throw up. She literally asked me if I was ok, and I said, I gotta get out of here. The smell is getting to me. I literally didnt even stay 2 minutes. 4 of the other classmates walked out as well. I really wanted to see what was really inside, but I didnt miss much. It was just dead people, and some organ tissues. The smell was not formaldehyde, it was the scent of the decomposing dead tissue. I give props to those who work in the morgue and those who do investigations of the autopsies and what not. We did not get to see the autopsy today, because the person who died, was a homidical victim. Sad, but true. It was an experience I sure will not forget. | | |
| Improv was cool last night. Joey Guila is hilarious and so were the rest of the Asian American comedians. Laughed so hard I felt my lungs were swollen. LOL. I can't wait to get out of WestMed. I'm tired of the bull thats been going on. Wish I never went to this school. Despite the negativity, I am getting a 90% average in the courses which makes me boost my confidence. Yeah, I get the book work, but what about my skills? It's scary to think that I do not know what to do once I get my license and start working on the floor. Yikes. I gotta re-learn all that stuff again. But whatever. sigh. I got a call back from the doctors office. I'm scared on what they are going to say about my blood and urinanalysis. I'm praying that I am healthy as a horse and nothing is wrong with me...Anyway hope for the best and that I am taken care by our Savior. Ay ya yi. Kinda freaky eh? Anyway this weekend going to Reno and gamble some money. Hope I win some big bucks!! Happy birthday to my dad! He's 53 today! | | |
