It's finally the weekend and I have had the chance to reflect on my first week of school. Three words that would describe it are overwhelming, exciting, and challenging. I can definitely see my work cut out for me.
On top of 6-9 hours of class or lab each day, we have a quiz in every class each week (5) and assignment due for each class (5) and multiple readings for each class. Not to mention preparation work for the next week and clinicals. I don't believe the word "bored" will be in my vocabulary this semester!
Overall the first week was crazy, and I'm excited to see how I handle this challenge and how it changes me and makes me grow up. I think it will be a fun ride! First clinicals are this Tuesday and I will be starting at 7am at Lewiston Rehab which is very close to my house. We get to choose an "anchor" resident and we get to examine them, do a health history check, drug research regarding their condition(s), and the fun part, we get to know the patient. We do a full work up on them, and we are with the same patient the whole 5 weeks of our LTC assignment. I am excited to finally start doing RN work compared to CNA work, I think it will be a big learning experience!
I am excited to start practicing my calling!
I will post again soon!
I am really excited to hear about your clinicals. It makes me happy to know that you are living your dream.
