For Fun--Kudos 2 Me...The "toot your own horn" thread

I just got in to nursing school, so I'm feeling pretty good!

I graduate in 16 days.

Today my nursing instructor told me that she was very impressed with my ability to turn a boring topic into an interesting paper and flat-out said that I'm a very good writer. Then she said she hopes I work on publications in the future!!! This means so much to me because although I do enjoy writing and editing, I honestly thought that this paper was the worst and most boring paper I'd ever written and I kept thinking she was going to make me re-write the whole thing. That scenario was reversed and definitely relieves me, because if I can get complimented at my worst, I think that's a good sign!

Took our class practice Med-Surg Hesi today and made a 93% (conversion score) An A!!!! (and one of the few A's might I add) Wooohooo!!! And I only spent 45 minutes taking it!!!!

Hi all, I have come to toot my own horn! lol! I made my way into an LVN program (with a plan to bridge almost immediately after!) and am pleased as punch that I'm making 3 A's and 1 B for the 4 classes I'm taking right now! Start nursing school in 6 1/2 wks! yippee! Hooray for everybody!

Put in my first foley! FINALLY.

I didn't tell the patient it was my first time and acted liked I had done it a million times.

The patient said, "you did as good of a job as the doctor did." Can't tell if that is a compliment or not? HA.

Got a 93% on my Nursing Process exam!

I was asked to be a peer mentor! I am so blown away because I feel like I am still a beginner, how could I teach anyone else, but one of my clinical instructors recommended me for the position. It makes me feel like all of my hard work over the semester was recognized. I am really excited about the opportunity to help new students, and even more excited about being able to put this on my resume!!!

Now that I finally got clarity from my instructor on this and know it's legit I can post a new one.

Got a Conversion Score: 99.99% Percentile: 98.07 on my Pharm Hesi, was done in 23 mins. Totally rocked it (didn't do that good in the actual class LOL)

Some for clinicals, been doing lots of new stuff in Clinicals (and outside) Did my first Foley, now 3 female successful ones, one male, finally did a good IV (on my son) LOL and 3 successful blood draws, 1 a class mate and 2 on my kids. HAHA I have had awesome co-nurses and gotten a lot of positive and great feedback. I was on cloud 9 on Wednesday from compliments I got from my co nurse. Has been a good semester outside of one little hiccup and it's almost DONE!!!!

Got a level 3 on the Meg Surg ATI that we took this week Pretty excited!

Walking into the final with a solid B.

Scored a 988 on the Hesi I took yesterday. Class Average was 852.
