As a student, I have always felt like I have good time management skills and a good gauge of what is truly important. I feel like in most instances I balance my responsibilities well. A challenge I typically face is staying 100% motivated to do everything to the fullest and not getting behind. When I feel like I am behind I feel it is important to do a personal check on myself. Am I dedicating enough time to accomplish this task? Am I prioritizing something less important? When I feel like I am behind the first thing I do is talk to my class mates and see where they are standing. If I find someone just as behind as I am, I will usually try to work with them and we will pound some work out together until we are caught up. If this option isn’t available, I always find it helpful to talk to a professor to get a real sense of where I am and what I can improve on. Another good option is to talk to the preceptors and see if they have any advice or tips. We are lucky to have an Emory & Henry Graduate as one of our preceptors. She is well aware of how to make it in the program and is a good source to talk to when I feel like I am struggling or behind. My final resource if I feel seriously behind or lacking motivation is to give a call home to Dad. This is mostly what I do and need when I feel like I’m losing motivation. My dad gives me new perspective and is a sounding board for what I experience. He helps me find solutions I may not have thought of yet. If I’m lucky when I call he will tell me a silly story about something my cat did which always makes me happy and motivated to start working hard again.
This week I had 6 attempts in my clinical packet

This is where I do my weekly clinical blog assignment. There is either a prompt I am responding to, or I just talk about something exciting I saw during the week.
