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!
Today in class some student was going on about her stellar GPA, her "job" she has planned out, her four adorable kids, her patients that love her, the nurses that she's corrected, and I told her to zip it.
Oh are you back in class again? I remember you saying you left nursing school and never looked back in a post a few months ago. Did you decide to give it another shot?
My kudos, I have had a very rough 4th semester at home, 2 deaths, husband had to leave out of state to work, my youngest child had to leave out of state for me to finish my clinicals as I have no help here and am almost done. Yet, I have done better on tests this semester than previous semesters, I got a great review from a tough CI who said she would be honored to have me as her nurse in the future or work side by side with me, also said she wished she could bottle up my enthusiasm, passion and positivity and pass it out and said I am very coachable because I take constructive criticism and learn from it instead of getting upset and mad, I also got nominated for a school award from my adviser. (won't know if I won until 2 weeks)
It's not often I give myself credit where I deserve, but when hearing these things from an outsider, it feels good to hear and I do have to stop every now and than and be proud of myself and how far I have come before I go back into the survival mode that is my life.
