Now What?

Finally...after almost 3 months of struggling in nursing school, I get a one week break for Spring. School was overwhelming, but after weeks of trying to figure out the best way to prepare for exams and clinicals, I am really proud of what I've done. Although I'm not scoring A's, but I am happy to learn so many skills and techniques in such a short period of time. Yes, it was a pain in the ass of having to wake up at 4:00 am every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (sometimes even earlier!), and yes my professor is a Nazi bitch, but the results and accomplishments that I achieve so far, and also the valuable knowledge that I gain, give me a sense of satisfaction about this nursing school.

So far, we did:
  • Trach care
  • NG tube
  • Insulin injections
  • SQ injections
  • IM injections
  • and most important of all, patient cares!

So, what's next?

I can do it...I just gotta remember my ABC (Airway, Breathing, Circulation)!
