A new begining

So after seeing how adorable Danielle's blog was and putting it all out there I thought it could be fun to do one about my crazy insane life as a nursing student. It is a crazy life, filled with no time (especially to be blogging), but hey, why not miss a couple of questions on a test due to blogging rather than studying? Trust me, I don't want to go anymore in depth about the difference between TEE's and echocardiograms... so yes, I will blog instead.

This semester we started the ever so hectic Med/Surg, and OB rotation. We are one week in and I have already experienced a near mental breakdown, a test, three quizzes, skills pass-offs, a cold, and an unlimited number of hours between the school and IMC (not working). And I can say officially, I have not learned much through all of this. But I can say I have made the best out of the situation as possible. I can thank my truly awesome group at school. I realized that I am almost happy it took so long to get into nursing school, because I can not imagine having to go through this without them! Thanks to last semester we learned everything there is to know about each other. Even down to how often we do self examinations for cancer and bowel patterns. You know you are friends for life when you have that kind of information on each other!

Tomorrow will be my first test and skills pass offs, so I guess we will see how that goes. But I tell you my fingers are crossed so tightly. I appreciate everyone out there for always cheering me on and listening to me stress and whine and simply laugh at me and tell me you know that I can do it (you people know who you are). I think I have the world's greatest friends!

So this will be the beginning of a new story and a new semester and we will see where it goes (lord only knows!) Thanks for reading!
