I apologize that I have not been able to keep my word and maintain that initial high I was on. Actually am still on a new nursing student high but many personal factors (read- moodiness) have prevented me from blogging about my experiences. So, let's start over.
I am already almost a month into nursing school now. I have finished 2 tests by now. I did okay on one test and wonderful on the other. The first test, however, bruised my ego a bit. I had been on a all along A student streak and nursing school came along and showed who's boss. After going through the exam review I felt better because all of my mistakes were silly ones which I could have avoided had I planned on doing a better revision of my answers. So, the point is not me not getting this whole deal, it is more about how restless and impatient I am.
Well, lesson learned. I applied these lessons to the second test and did a whole lot better.
We are now studying nursing theories and doing baby clinicals. You know, just the 3 hr ones where you go and interact with your patient and see how well you have understood those 'therapeutic communication' techniques.
I am very comfortable thanks to my job as a nurse tech.
I had forgotten that I almost needed a stethoscope for school because a month into and we had not had to use it. But today we finally got to atleast take it to class and tomorrow we get to play with it some more.
I think I am beginning to understand the need for nursing theory lectures. As common sense as it may sound, sometimes even the best of us need to instill in us a respect for the true meaning of this profession. We need reminders and we need to be preached.
I am so ready to learn and soak in every bit of information.
I will talk more as we go along.
Now am off to attend a meeting of my state's nurse's association.
(The free dinner was the 'real' reason I signed up, won't lie. )
:)
Until next time, stay safe!
