Successfully completed first year of nursing school!

Published

happy to be alive and survived! i haven't posted for a long time, and i am enjoying getting caught up with the current news and posts.

i just completed my first year of nursing school (2 year rn program), and i am now seeking a summer job in the healthcare field for additional experience. i am awaiting my cna certificate in the mail.

i'm excited! and thrilled! and suddenly feel like i have too much time on my hands....

looking for some nursing movies to enjoy and relax to. i did recently see a robin williams film, awakenings, in which there was a nurse that was terrific, and the rest of the staff joined in when the "hope" was shared.

anyway, i congratulate those of you who have recently graduated from nursing school:yeah:, and i share the joy with those of you who, like me, just finished your first year of nursing school!!!

take care!!!

I'm just hoping I'll be able to say the same thing next May, after my first year is complete. I'm sure the time will fly once school starts in August :)

I'm not sure if I can say the year went by fast. There were times, especially last few months that I just had to take one day at a time.

I was getting overwhelmed by deadlines, clinicals, and readings, as well as projects and papers. I had to stop myself from looking past the week, and mostly just concentrating on each day. It was the best way I could cope. I'm a good student and consider myself pretty bright, but first year was a challenge at times!

Best advice for starting out....keep organized, and fill your calendar with all due dates, and personal items, too. :) When times seem tough, just take one day at a time.:specs:
