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

Hi, anyone want to brag a bit? After all, I think we deserve it.

I thought it would be fun to share some of our victories and things we think we should be patted on the back for.

Here's mine....I passed my first skills test this week and got a 100 on our first quiz in Fundamentals which I am soooo proud of because, as everyone knows, nursing tests are different than any other tests, you have to learn to think differently. You have to learn to think like a nurse, and WOOHOO, I DID IT!

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

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! :yeah:

Specializes in Family Medicine.

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.

Specializes in Emergency Nursing.

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!!! :yeah:
