Are you graduating in May or June, 2013? We have 7-8 more months to go! I would love to get a thread going to see how many of us are 'here' and see if we can keep each other encouraged till we see the finish line! We are almost there!
What does your average week look like? I am just curious. :) This 8 weeks we have clinical rotations on Wednesdays and lecture on Thursday (from 5-9 pm) plus an online required course (this one is specific to our college - nothing to do with nurse.. boo!!!). Next 8 weeks, beginning at the end of October, we have home health and community health back to back Monday (home health clinical), Tuesday- home health lecture, Wednesday (community health clinical) then Thursday Com health lecture then I work on Fridays. This 8 weeks has been like a deep breath before the plunge - but I am just going to buck up and get through because that 3 week break in December is not too far! yay!!
Hope you all are having a fabulous day!!
Wow, most of you are doing Peds/OB rotation this semster! We did Peds/OB during block 3 (this past summer) and this semester we are doing Mental Health/Community health & Home health. I really loved OB!!! I hope you all enjoy it. When I finally got to help with the delivery it was such a wodnerful experience. I was so afraid that families wouldn't want a nursing student in there coming to observe but after working with the patient and her family all day, they insisted I stayed and watch the baby's arrival. Even though I have kids of my own, it was still very moving experience each time a baby was born. Something for you all to look forward to. Peds was great. :) I love working with kids but med math really got to me. lol I don't hate math. It was just confusing! Have you all done the calculation for reconstituted meds? I actually enjoy math... but this one was really tricky!Anyone in Mental Health, Psych yet??? I didn't love Pharm and boy do we have lots of drugs to learn in this class! If you have any great learning tips for learning meds, please share. :)
I did OB and Mental Health and my last med surg last winter semester :) We have ped's, community, and leadership this semester and next semester preceptorship and 2 other things I'm not sure about lol
