Final Exam and Class Thoughts

Just finished the final exam and did much better this time!! I'm so glad because I study SOOOOO much and very hard for it! I'm glad it is OVER and I passed my first nursing class! This is very excited! I can't wait to get started with the next classes!! I think that I am really starting to think more and more like a nurse everyday! Hopefully by the end of this semester I will be well on my way to becoming an RN. I have enjoyed clinicals and labs this 8 weeks, but am a little nervous about the upcoming labs because they are pass/fail labs!! I will definitely be utilizing those open lab times for sure!!! I am glad we don't have class until 11 tomorrow! I need a little extra time to re-coop from all the stress of this exam!! Sleeping in is going to be quite relaxing!! I have enjoyed the beginning of nursing and hope that it will continually get better as I go!!!

I had two clinicals this week since I missed last week's clinicals from being sick. They went well. I was pleased with the job that I had done by the second day because I was much more comfortable with the patients, staff, and facility. It gave me a good glimpse of what our two days a week clinicals are going to be like. I actually liked going two days in a row! I got lots of good practice even though waking up VERY early both days was not so fun! :) I got to take a nap afterward though so it helped. I have been studying hard this week for the exam. I'm trying to pull all of my knowledge together as I study this weekend! I need to do at least fairly well on the final. I will be glad when it is all over though!!! Well, it's back to studying for me!!

Getting closer to the end!

I was sick this week!! :( Caught a touch of the stomach flu and was unable to work at clinicals! :( I will be going on thursday and friday to healthsouth next week which should be interesting. I will be able to see what it is going to be like when we really do have to start clinicals two days a week!! I am feeling much better and have been reading and studying for the final already!! I need to do well on this final and am planning on meeting some friends to help me study!! I can't believe that this class is coming to an end! It seems like just yesterday I was ordering my scrubs and putting them on for the first day of class! I am glad that I am starting to become more acquainted with the hospital setting and nursing in general! I am excited to continue on this nursing path and learn more about what I love!!
