Week off

I am thankful to be one of the lucky people who get a whole week off before the OIIQ exam. It's a great idea for those of you who feel like you need to learn a few more things properly. I'm also going to go ahead and say that working in ER is a great idea..probably because I am in love with my job. I am up to 4 beds and the turnover can be pretty high on busy days which means I can see over 8 patients in one shift. Today I was extremely productive with my studying and I think it is because I started my day off with a healthy breakfast of just a huge bowl of fruit. I kept eating light foods all day (e.g. 8 pieces of sushi) and although I'm big on eating junk at times, my attention span was a million times bigger than my baseline. 
Bedtime now for an even better tomorrow!

OIIQ thoughts

Panic.
I know this.
I need to open the book. 
I have the book with me everywhere I go. 
The book is in front of me as I write this.
It is closed.
I need a pen first. 
I need cookies first.
I need to check my emails first.
Panic.
Start studying.
Keep studying.
I can do this.
