Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!

Dear Students,

I hope you have a wonderful evening and you get, and give, a lot of hugs.  Love is what it's all about!

Here is a recap and reminders for class:

1. Thank you Emma and Timmy for bringing in cookies.  That was so nice of you.... RAOK?  😄

2.  Work on the study guide and if you can define these words, you'll ace the test.  There will be 50 questions, 2 points each.  Keep making about 20-25 flashcards a night.  Remember, all three appendices must be completed and turned in 3/21 from the blue MT book you have at home.

3. I will have your CC hours report ready for next week that is up to and including the week of 1/31.
Most of you have 70 to 90 hours, some less, some more.  We are in week 10, (week of 2/12).  You should be getting 8 to 10 hours per week.  We will have 23 weeks total with our last week of internship being May 21-25.  The report came in at 4:30 today!  I will ask you to take your hours log out on 2/21 so you can do some math.  Total required for the course: 180    Over 200?  Certificate of Achievement!

4. GHS: This Friday, 2/16 - RALLY SCHEDULE.  Please be sure to contact me and the site if you are going to the rally.  REPORT TO ROOM 108 for P2 and P3.  I will be here for you.  You can earn CC hours while here that morning by helping me with some important projects.

5. There will be a new training plan due on 3/28.  This will be an enhanced version of the one you have now....make sure there are significant changes and increased responsibilities.

6. At site - Initiate tasks, stick to your routine and complete tasks in priority order.  Let me know if you need help with that.

7. We will talk more about "Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month" next week.  Let's start a new dialogue on cues we get from patients that are relevant to suspected abuse of any kind.

8. Next week we continue our discussion and work on appointment and surgery scheduling. Please journal about your site's scheduling and of course, communication protocols.

9. Go to Scholarships.com - There's money waiting to be awarded.... TO YOU!  💰

10.  Thank you for being a really great group of people.  I'm sending you love on this Valentine's Day!

Take care, sleep well, hydrate and take in some good nutrition, okay?
