I thought it was a good time to start a thread where we could all share what we love about learning to be a nurse!
Personally, I can't believe how much I love nursing school! I am in my first semester of an ADN program and we have done so much in the last six weeks. I have learned to take vital signs, do a physical assessment, do AM care, change a sterile dressing, pass oral meds, document using a computer charting system and we are starting on Foley catheters next week! I have learned about therapeutic communication, health promotion, legal and ethical nursing issues, safety measures and formulating nursing diagnoses.
I have a bachelor and masters degree in another field and I think I have learned more in the last six weeks than I did in those six years of college.
We did our orientation at the hospital today and starting next week we will be taking care of patients. I can't wait! I am so blessed!
