Hmm, so it's been a while since I've posted. What's new? Well.. not too much. John and I had some friends over on Saturday in which we had a little cookout. I love love love having people over for dinner, so I was so excited about this. After we got done eating, we all played Apples to Apples which is a very fun game. Today, well yesterday, I worked at night so I missed the fireworks and actually can't remember the last year I did see them. Maybe four years ago? Because it seems like every stinkin 4th of July I've been working around here!!
A week after completing my first year of nursing school (my last post) I had this five week Dimensions class. It covered nursing research, ethics and the like. The last week of that we had to give presentations within our 4-5 person groups. Oh did I despise this! I normally avoid public speaking at.all.costs. Talking in front of strangers is not something I fancy. Nonetheless, I did it.. and managed a B in that class! Would have liked an A.. since I haven't seen one of those in soo long, but hey, I'm not perfect. LOL!
Now I am just keeping busy this summer by doing my student nurse internship. I have about 5 weeks left with my preceptor. I have gained a small amount of confidence through this, nothing big at all. I am still scared shitless to do most things myself. I have gained more confidence doing vital signs (which you wouldn't think would be hard but every patient is different and some things are easier on some than they are on others.), baby feedings and other things. I can't imagine how I'm going to be a nurse in a year. I don't know if I'm going to be able to do it. There's just.so.much to learn and know.. let alone what I will have to know for nursing school.
Well.. I think I'm going to get back to work for now.. almost 4am, now only 3 more hours left to go!
