This semester, we are doing our surgical rotations. I'm situated at Mount St. Joseph's Hospital (MSJH) in East Vancouver and it's awesome because it takes roughly 10 minutes to get there in the morning and quite a few of us live in the same area. Plus parking's free, so that's a nice change.
The set up for patho is different this semester, the massive class we had last semester is split into 3 smaller ones in hopes of addressing all our questions, so that's helpful! Also, we have quizzes periodically which will help me, personally, keep up in review!
Microbiology will be interesting, I think. I'm slightly worried about my GPA this semester though, because we have two science-y courses, and I don't generally do too well in those, but we'll see!
PBL seems to be a good group this semester. I have a presentation on loss and grief on Tuesday, so I'm working on that right now, and just taking a break to update my rusty blog! It's interesting to see the different things being brought in from our last PBL groups and to see them all mix together and compromise into our new PBL format.
Clinical skills and techniques is super exciting because we get to do a LOT more skills this semester including injections, blood glucometers, IV meds, dressing changes, etc! I'm looking forward to learning that! The lab assistants are still the same and great, but the course leaders are different, but still seem nice.
Yesterday, we had our orientation at MSJH and it was very exciting because we got to practice our charting, get acquainted to the ward, and just plain being in the hospital is exciting for me. I realize I have used the word exciting an excessive amount of times already. Haha.
Fewf! That was a lot of random odds and ends! Back to my presentation!
