My final semester of nursing school has begun! It started a week later than I had originally thought but I will not be complaining about a longer vacation.
This semester I will be taking Adult Health II (a critical care-ICU) class, Leadership & Management, Aging Adult, Senior Capstone, and Senior Practicum. I am really looking forward to this semester as I will have the opportunity to complete my Adult Health II clinical in one of the many ICU's at Vanderbilt Medical Center. (I would love for it to be in the Cardiac ICU! Keeping my fingers crossed!!) I will also be doing my senior practicum (which is a 72 hour internship) on the Hematology/Oncology Floor at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. This is a cancer floor for those of you unfamiliar with medical "lingo". I did half of my Peds clinical on this floor and absolutely LOVED it so I am excited about this experience.
One of the many "joyful" assignments we get to complete this semester is 2800 practice NCLEX (the "boards" for nursing") questions. I have completed 200 of them so far and did horribly on 100 of them...hope this is not a sign!
This will be a very busy semester but it will be good. Many of my already nurse friends have told me to enjoy it while it lasts as soon enough I will be out there having to use all of this knowledge and working. I look forward to that (though I am also scared).
I am also planning on completing many knitting projects this semester. I have 2 sweaters currently in progress and 3 blankets (ugh) that I need to finish plus something for a dear friend who will be having a baby soon! I would rather spend my time knitting than doing homework but alas that is not an option...
Until the next time!
