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 graduate one week from today! Most likely it will be Magna Cum Laude.

Holla!

Specializes in Psych.

The attending psychiatrist (I work psych) and my manager both told me that I was to be the "go to" person for a patient to keep the patients behavior under control. Basically the patient was supposed to come and find me if feeling under stress to help prevent an out burst.

Specializes in Dialysis.

I sent a patient out to the ER. The guy got admitted to the ICU. I got a "Good call!" from my boss. I think my patient will be ok, he was smiling rolling out the door.

I'm a month into my 1st semester of my ADN program. I got a 95% on my first fundamentals exam (darn near the highest score with a class average of 79%!) ) and I got a 100% on my dosage calculations test (not THAT special, 90% was passing, but still!) I feel great and I only want to strive for better! Woohoo!

Great job! I made the mistake of telling people my grades and now everyone wants me to tutor them. I don't have time for any of that! I have no life that's why I do well! :) now I'm just gonna tell people "I studied my butt off and the grade I received reflects that"

I know...a few people have asked me and I told them....their response-I'll make flashcards...flashcards don't help me. Actually I'm going to stop telling people my grade-we don't have a very good mix of people and half of our class is hoping the other half flunks out. So I feel happy
