Overwhelmed?

I FINALLY had my preceptorship lecture. I was worried at first, but I think I've got a lot sorted out now. It doesn't seem to bad. I'm quite grateful that I chose the advanced med/surg lecture instead of advanced critical care. Most of my friends are in the critical care lecture, and they looked miserable coming out of lecture. I'm starting my first clinical Saturday and am quite excited to see my preceptor! I'm really looking forward to working with her.

I had a talk with my mom about my sister. She's really worried about her outcome. I'm going to have a talk with her soon. I don't think it's right to tell a teen what to do. Mostly since they won't do it. I think it's best to have her identify her own problems and develop her own plan on how to develop them. Teaching her that kind of problem solving method will be more beneficial to her than telling her what to do. It'll be something she may be able to use after school. Things like how to study really aren't that important in the long run. Things like how to focus, time management, prioritization, problem solving techniques, etc seem more important to me.
