Ok so for all of my nursey students/followers or for anyone that wants to read a REALLY great blog. You seriously need to head over to "Life in the Clinic" and follow it. This is written by a fantastic pediatric NP! She writes about interesting cases, frustrating job experiences and just every day things that us nursing students will probably one day deal with, plus she pretty stinking smart! So, seriously, why are you still reading this blog? Head over there RIGHT NOW & check it out!!! :D
It's getting closer and closer. Only 4 1/2 more months of graduate school left and then I will be FINISHED with school forever!!! This semester I am in Adult. I have to have 240 clinical hours and 240 patients logged by the end of April. I'm severely lagging behind...as of right now I only have 116 hours. I probably have more patients than hours but I'm not even sure about that. All I know is the next month and a half are probably going to be pretty hectic. I am doing clinicals at two different sites, one is a family practice and the other is a walk in/urgent care clinic. I have to admit, I am LOVING the walk in clinic. As I may or may not have said, I'm not sure that family practice is my forte. There are so many illnesses, and I just don't know that dealing with everyone's multiple chronic illnesses is for me. I love the fact that in the urgent care clinic patients are coming in for one one thing (usually). They come in with their specific symptoms, you ...
Wow, Candi! You made my day. Thanks for the boost! I just started writing the blog as an outlet, and it has evolved into something else.
ReplyDeleteI like reading your blog too...although it stirs up all those memories of nursing school (and grad school) that I wanted to keep buried...all I can say is, keep going, it will be worth it!
Haha, thanks! Yeah I really love your blog. There aren't really a lot of blogs of NP's who are in practice where they actually talk about the stuff that goes on. There used to be a REALLY great one but she stopped writing it after a few years, so I am so thankful for yours!
Deletei know... i found her thru you :)
ReplyDeletelove all the interesting things she encounters.
Me too. I love too that she doesn't just post about medical stuff but about real life stuff like work place dynamics etc.
