Good afternoon all. I'm just taking a breather from my homework. I'm sitting out on Danehaven's porch soaking up the beauty. I'm going to have to leave here in a few hours and I'm not looking forward to heading back to the city.
I have about 4 problems left on one worksheet and 4 more worksheet to go. I have figured out that it takes me approx. 30-45 minutes to answer one questions. With an average of about 300 questions I'm spending a minimum of 150 hours on homework per module/3 months. That doesn't include my clinical work of 20 hours a week of prenatal's and between 10-20 hours on average for births. I haven't yet calculated how much time that equals out to, but I know it is a lot. This all makes sense because I try to do between 5 and 10 questions a day, non clinical days of course, which would be an average of about 2.5-5 hours of homework a day. This is on top of the 3 hours I spend driving my kids to school and back. (includes both ways and waiting for children.) Regular scheduled appointments, housework, cooking, drive times to and from everywhere, and of course daily errands.
What I think when I read this is WHY am I spending any time on this forum? But hey, I need a mental brake at some point during my day.
I just needed to share so I feel better about getting back to work. And feel like I'm accomplishing something when it takes me SO LONG to get anything done. Only one more year. I just have to keep saying that.
Have a great day everyone.
