What is light as a feather and can’t be held for very long??

Well the answer to the riddle would be----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AIR!! haha good one right??

Another week has been completed which means we are one week closer to the End of the Fall semester!! Overwhelmed would be an understatement to describe my schedule right now. I have literally become a nerd. I stay in on the weekends studying, and when I have free time I am thinking about nursing things! I just keep reminding myself that it only gets better

I had my first clinical rotations at Reid, and needless to say I have never been so nervous in my life! It was quite the experience and after the first day I wanted to quit. I felt like I didn't know anything. Thankfully the next day was a lot better and I even administered my first Subcutaneous injection, which if you know me at all you know that I am deathly afraid of needles Lol! So that was a huge step #winning btw my twitter link was messed up on a previous blog but No Worries------> FOLLOW ME @kaitdbay_08

::Sweet September::

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??
