Semester 1 down!!! Thank you AN!!!

[hope4ccns]

So I made it through my 1st semester! This sounds like a small feat but to all of you out there going through it, you know it's a milestone! I can't believe how much I have learned in one semester. From learning how to make a bed and take a blood pressure to giving injections, meds, monitoring patients, providing treatments, dressing changes, to understanding how to make an individual plan of care. It's amzing and there is so much more ahead!

With that in mind I would like to thank the AN community. Not only was the help and advice I received invaluable but to have so many people going through it with me was so encouraging.

Thank You!

The first day of lab where we got to put on our scrubs, we were like little kids on the first day of kindergarten so excited!!!! Congrats to everyone! The time will go by fast, I know it :) we'll be passing that nclex before we know it :)
