The semester is halfway done and so far so okay. Not good. Not great. Not terrible either. Just okay.

As I sit here in Starbucks attempting to study, I once again want to scream about how ridiculous it is that my Medical-Surgical Nursing and Pharmacology classes do not match up with each other. It is so damn frustrating.

Look, I get it. It shouldn't matter. But when we have to learn the medications anyway for Med-Surg, it's straight and utter BS. Why is it that when we are learning about diabetes in Med-Surg, instead of learning about diabetes medications in Pharmacology, we were learning about herbal supplements and ANS meds? Why is it that it's only AFTER we've had both our cardiac exam and the exam with hypertension that we're going to learn about cardiac and hypertension medications in Pharmacology?

See, I probably wouldn't be making this complaint if our professors in Med-Surg didn't emphasize that we need to learn the medications for whatever diseases we're learning about. It's complete and utter silliness that we're actually taking time out of lab to talk about medications when we have a Pharmacology class in the first place. Wasn't the point of us RN students being forced to take Pharmacology so that we don't waste time in lecture or lab talking about medications?

Yet here we are!
