This week I got to work it's a few of the MA's and I got to practice taking people's blood pressures and pulse. I use to have a difficult time taking people blood pressure because I would always have trouble hearing the thumps and all that to get the systolic number. I either would get the systolic number and not get the diastolic number or the diastolic number but not the systolic. It was always a complication of mine but I practiced it over the week and I'm doing a good job at almost mastering it. I can take BP more confidently now and I don't panic every single time someone tells me to take a patient's vital signs.
I read the 5 minutes early is on time; on time is late article and I can agree with this. I believe being on time doesn't mean you're exactly on time. I like to be early to any events because I have time to get settled in if needed to and I don't have to rush to get there if I'm running behind. At my employment place, our coordinator doesn't really "crack down" on us about being late; however, I wouldn't feel comfortable showing up late there so I try my best to be even a little bit early so I can get my stethoscope out and ready to go straight into work. I also talk to my coordinator a bit earlier than I begin working so it helps having time before I really start working to chat with her about anything. Time management is extremely important, and I know it'll definitely be crucial when it comes to college, medical school, and life in general. I do not have a physical planner, but I do plan to get one later in the year once my financial state is suitable! As of now, I use this planner app to keep track of all my homework and its due dates and any upcoming quizzes/tests. It's been working pretty decently so far, but it's my duty to log the assignments into the planner. I will admit that I do forget sometimes.

I agree with you as well about time. I hate wasting people's time. You take work so seriously and want to prove yourself. I think your professionalism shows.
