36 days and counting....


So, I FINALLY was able to register for class. There was a computer glitch that was causing everyone not to be able to register, but I called & the lady (you know the one I mentioned every time I called she was NOT very helpful) was actually very helpful this time & she did an override and voila, I was able to register!!! Woohoo!! SO excited
and nervous. Want to know why I'm nervous, well let me just show you....

This is a picture posted by one of my friends who is already in the program that I'm going into. This is her Patho book. Oh Lordy bejordy, now THAT made me nervous!!! Now, if you have read my blog for a while, especially through Micro & the A & P's, you know I am prone to making molehills into mountains quite frequently, which is a common occurrence I know. But I take it one step farther, I actually create the mountains before I ever even see them. I'm what you might call a "pre" worrier. I don't wait to worry, I start WAY ahead of time. Now, you'd think from past performance that I would realize that this practice is in no way helpful, nor is it a good indicator of how I'm truly going to perform in any of these classes, but no, rationality is not my friend. Sooooo, this semester I am going to try MUCH harder to just give the worrying over to God. I'm going to try and just lay it all at His feet. I know how I perform, I know what I am fully capable off and I am NOT going to worry this semester. Now, that's not to say I'm not going to get a little nervous the night before a test or when I big project is due, but I am NOT going to obsess about school the way I have in the past. That being said, what is up with this class that on my schedule next to is says "Pass/Fail" . Ok even after that big speech, I'm not gonna lie, THAT has me worried!!! And so the countdown begins....

Got the job!!

So the director of the Med/Surg floor said I would hear something by today and well, I waited as long as I could before calling her seeing as I hadn't heard from her.  I said I would wait until 4:00 but by 3:30 I was chomping at the bit so I called her.  She said "I was just filling out your paperwork to offer you the job"!!! Yay me!!      Now I know it's just a PCT/CNA job, but hey it gets my foot in the door right?  I've talked to several of my friends who are in the semesters ahead of me & they've all said the same thing.  "Get a job NOW".   I have one friend who said she can't even get a PCT job b/c no one will hire her b/c she's too close to graduating.  I never thought of that. Why wouldn't they want to hire you knowing that soon you'd be able to be a nurse there??  I don't know, but I am glad to have the job.    The director said she thinks the pay is $10 an hour, which is pretty dece...

I'm still not sure...

DONE with my ER rotation!  As a matter of fact that means I'm DONE with clinicals period!  Woohoo!!!  Friday was my last real clinical in nursing school.  I worked 6 twelve hour shifts in the ER & I can truly say that I would feel 90% comfortable going straight to the ER from nursing school.  Besides the actual trauma codes that come in, I feel like I could easily handle what goes on in that ER straight out of nursing school.  I thought that I would LOVE ER, and I did to an extent, but what I really found out in this clinical was that I just DON'T KNOW .  I don't know exactly what I want to do yet as far as being a nurse, and honestly I just don't think I would really LOVE any nursing job. I know that I want to be a NP & therefore nursing positions to me don't really hold a great appeal. That being said, I don't know yet 100% what dept. I want to to work in, and what I really came to realize is that I don't think I'm going to kno...

Night shift...

             The other day I got a text to work night shift, 7p-7a.  Well by the time I read the text it was already 3 pm & needless to say I wasn't going to get very much sleep beforehand if I was to work that shift so I compromised & told the floor supervisor that I would work until 2 am. Now mind you this is my first hospital job & working nights was of course something I'd never done, so I was interested to see what it was all about. Can I just say how much I love night shift? I mean talk about a MUCH more relaxed environment, I mean whoa the difference between night & day is, well, like night & day ;) If you've worked night shift you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about.  No baths, no feedings, no visitors, no office personnel, I mean strictly meds & paperwork.  Uh hello night shift glad to have met you.  So here's what I'm thinking.  I never thought I could d...
