HAPPY EASTER!!!!
It is hard to believe that the semester is almost over. We have a long weekend for Easter, which is very much needed for me at this point. There are only 4 more days of clinicals, and 2 exams in Nursing before the final!
I attended a seminar on campus today about the HIV/AIDS pandemic, specifically focusing on Sub-Saharan Africa. The speaker was Sr. Margaret Farley, RSM, Emerita Professor of Christian Ethics at Yale University. Sr. Margaret is co-founder of the All Africa Conference: Sister to Sister project. The purpose of the Sister to Sister project is to empower African women to confront the cultural, religious and patriarchal norms operative in that continent in order to tackle the pandemic of HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa. Sr. Margaret has traveled to various parts of Africa over the last few years and spoken to many people impacted by the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
In Nursing this week, we took the musculoskeletal exam. I think it went well. In clinical, I had 2 patients, one with a history of metastasizing cancer and current sepsis, and the other was just in because his pacemaker fired because of an arrhythmia. Only one day of clinical next week because of Easter break!
until next time =)
