I hate it when I get the flu... And taste nothing! I called in sick today too. I couldn´t sleep last night as my nose was extremely stuffed up. It still is. I have to go to the pharmacy and get something to open it. I have to go to work tomorrow. If I still feel like this, I just have to wear the mask. Dammit, I just realised I have an exam in pharmacology next week and I don´t have the book yet. They said the teacher is very demanding. Nice. :-( It looks like I have to work double shifts a lot because I have a dentist appoitment on Friday next week and the exam is on Wednesday at 4pm. It is very important that we do all the hours. I mean, if you have to go to doctor´s and it takes only about two hours... And still we have to make up all the hours. To whom, if I may ask? It can´t be only for the learning process. Pfft! This has come to a point where we have to go to work no matter how sick we are. Because we don´t have time to cover the hours later. I mean, is this what ¨the real nurses¨ do? I think not. They *at school* say that we have to know what it´s really like to be a nurse. Does a few hours really make a difference???
