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 have straight A's, a full scholarship, and a nursing job waiting for me after graduation! :yeah: When things aren't going my way, I have to remind myself that somebody thought I was worth a full scholarship and believes that I will be a good nurse.

I'm in 4th semester, finishing soon...my clinical instructor does not even bother to come around and "check on" me during my clinical day. She actually said.."you're the last person I need to check on".....awesome!!!!

Performed my first straight cath on Friday and my patient told my teacher that if I had introduced myself as a student nurse, he would have never known that I was a student. He told her that I was on top of everything, able to answer his questions, make him laugh, and was very professional.

Okay so I took my 2nd Foundations exam this morning, missed two questions and got a 96%. I was really excited about that, but I also couldve slapped myself for missing one of the easy questions. But oh well, Im happy with how everything is going so far.

I got a B+ on my third (and final) year test :D We had been given a list of subjects that may be covered in the exam (call them A-F) and i revised C,D,E and F as i didnt really know much about them at all. Imagine my suprise when the exam was A,B,C and F. I was shocked when i got my results as i hadnt focussed on the first two subjects,i just had a basic working understanding/protocols of them. I thought i would scrape a pass.

I need to brag a bit and I can't do so with my fellow students particularly as some are sailing close to academic failure right now....

I had an awesome week. Aced two exams that were hard and I had so much anxiety I was nearly puking.

I drove home saying to myself "I am sooooo awesome". It felt so good.

That is all I've got.

Did two IV sticks while spending time in the ER. Got 1 out of 2. The 2nd one was a damn good one, as I was able to fill up all the blood tubes needed.

Way to go everyone!! Impressive, all very deserving of the good ol' pat on the back :)

I would also like to brag a bit... finished Quarter one of my program on top of almost all of my fellow students, capped it off with a 3.93 GPA. With many of my classmates scraping by to pass let alone succeed, it is with great pride that I say "I am awesome!!"

On to bigger and better, and harder, things next week when quarter 2 begins!! Can't wait!
