Aug 09 - finished my first semester
This leads me to where I am currently. I just completed my first semester of nursing school. It was such a mix of emotions throughout the entire summer semester. I don't really think we knew what we got ourselves into. It was exciting, new, challenging, stressful, draining, and exhilarating all at once. At one point I really was about to break down writing a 50-page nursing process report. My friend Natalie and I were so delirious writing this for hours straight. Now that I look back, it's rather hilarious and I definitely won't forget it.
Firstly, the people in my program are wonderful to say the least. The nursing school did a great job hand-picking students to join their program. I'm proud to say that I belong to this class of future nurses. Secondly, the class the summer was a whirlwind. The first part was lecture and learning a full head-to-toe assessment (we will actually go into greater detail this upcoming semester too). The second portion was skills and the last portion was clinicals.
It would take forever to describe it all since it is now over - but I plan on writing around once a week from now on so that it won't be so abbreviated. I am just glad that I survived the first semester and have a lot more to look forward to.
