I don't know what I want to do now, the micro KICKED MY ASS and now I feel like an idiot, very defeating to say the least. I'm heading back to the Iron for the summer and I'm looking forward to a little cash in my pocket,just so afraid of getting stuck there.

Hardest part of Micro was taking a culture from where the sun don't shine for me!
Seriously though, Micro is an intense class. I did it over a summer which may have been easier due to the total immersion but still finished with a lower but passing grade.
Much of that info really doesn't apply to RN's as much as it does to the Docs and Microbiologists in the lab IMO–I wouldn't take it too hard man. If you survived it, that's good enough.

Anyhow the nurse, pa (a man)who ever proceeded to take the stool sample and place it on that little card. He said something to the effect of "sorry I know this is awkward" to which my reply was "hay as long as it was as good for you as it was for me were golden". The look on that guys face was worth the 10 hours stay in the ER! LOL still makes me chuckle
That is hilarious!
That dark sense of humor you have will serve you well in your career. Just don't say that to your patients if they're getting a culture taken by you!
