with valentines day right around the corner, i thought i'd share what i love most about being in nursing school.
first: i love the fact that instead of spending the entire day with my honey, i'll be in clinical for over 8 hours taking care of all the lovely babies in the nursery.
i love how much information we get in a short period of time, and how i'm able to do well on exams when tested on it all.
i love making patients feel comfortable when the staff don't have time do all the special things us nursing student can do for them.
i love working with nurses because i can learn from them.
i love making patients smile and laugh when they are having a bad day.
i love providing comfort to patients and families when they are in despair.
i know i'm a student and sometimes its tough,but sometimes you gotta just love nursing school !
overall, i love nursing school and besides working on a post-partum unit there is no other place i'd rather be right now.
i hope everyone have a good v-day and don't forget to show your loved ones and patients how much you care about them or love them.

I love my husband and son who have put up with me never being home, missing my son's soccer games, never having time to cook, and having anxiety moments over grades.
I love all my nursing school friends who are so supportive when I need encouragement.
I love that even though it took me so long to get moving on my dream to be a nurse, I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. (10 more months!!)
I love going out to have margaritas with my school buddies after finals.
I love wearing scrubs (just not the white ones).
I love allnurses.com!

I love feeling more confident in clinicals with each passing week.
I love the hour drive home from school.
I love making patient's and their families smile and feel more comfortable.
I love when nursing staff has told me that they think I will be a good nurse.

I love that I am in my last semester.

Okay pollyanna's
here's what i love about clinical:
Pre-conference and post-conference. Period.
Everything else in between is either boring, confusing, hurtful, or uncomfortable! Did i say boring? I can't wait to get off the floor i am on right now. I made a list of things i hate about nursing school but that is for another time. Sorry so negative -- it's been coming easy these days!
