::Sweet September::
09/27/2011
ummm if I am not mistaken this is like the fifth or sixth week of school, where has the time gone??? I have already had {{3}} exams <----CRAZY! Not to mention about a **Zillion** papers......ok...maybe not that many, but def. to many for my liking!
September was exciting, and jammed pack!
First, I started my clinical rotations in Psych and Medsurg. My psych rotation was very interesting to say the least. I was beyond nervous but it ended up being a very eye opening experience and it was a good way to work on my communication skills. I had my medsurg clinical at Arbor Trace nursing home. If you have never been into a nursing home it is an experience within its self. Arbor Trace is one of the nicest nursing homes I have ever been in, but sometime no matter how appealing the place it is still sad to see all the people, who would want nothing more than to have a conversation with someone and have someone listen to their stories.
I enjoyed getting to know my patient and it felt good to know that even though I was only there two days I still made a little bit of a difference in her day. This week I have to administer medication for the first time to a "real" person Lol (we practice on dummies in the nursing lab). So I already know that a dummie and a person are nothing alike Lol....I am beyond nervous and I am at that point where you think you know how to do something but then when you get ready to do it...its like uhhhhhhhh......idk?? Hopefully I get over this before I have to do it :/!
Other than school, track workouts are still in full effect and the volleyball team has still been going full force towards a conference title! So that bring me to my wonderful friend and fellow nursing student Cari Dew! Cari and I have been in the nursing program for a year now...we have suffered, celebrated, contemplated quiting together Lol. But we have made it thus far, and I wouldn't have been able to do it with out her help <-----------I know that was extremely nice hahaha! Anyways Cari and I made posters for the Volleyball game and I must say that we probably should have considered Art as a major.
It was also my BEAUTIFUL sisters 19 birthday!! Which makes me feel kinda old. I have to say that i might just be the best sister ever because I surprised her at work with an amazing gift!! She loved it but said I wasn't her favorite sister......(she is my only sister Lol :@). But I love her anyways :)!
BTW can i mention how wonderful this fall weather is????? #loveit BOOTS:SCARVES:COATS!!!!!!!
ps: Have a good school week, and does anybody know how many days until Christmas?? ;)
