Its been so long since I’ve blogged here. So much has changed! I’ve been employed for a year as a floor nurse on a 44 bed telemetry unit. I work 12 hour shifts and take care of anywhere from 4 to 6 patients at a time…sometimes 7 if we are really short staffed. I learn something new every single day.
Any questions, feel free to ask!
the semester is winding down. I have one more week of class and clinicals, then it’s finals time! So close. It’s been an amazing journey.
I feel like everyone in my class is part of a wonderfully dysfunctional, family. I am going to be sad when I won’t get to see them.
But, I’m ready for pinning and the beginning of my nursing career! Merry christmas to me.
My instructor just informed me that we are just going to have an observation day in the ICU…which means no paperwork. The one time I actually procrastinate, I’m rewarded. Maybe I’ll try it more often.
A constitutional amendment facing voters in Mississippi would declare a fertilized human egg to be a legal person, effectively branding abortion and some forms of birth control as murder.
This is absurd. There is no way this can pass.
That’s how I feel. What are your thoughts? As healthcare providers, we need to understand what new laws are being made that affect our practices.
I would love it if you would take the time to send me a message telling me a little bit about yourself! I’d like to get to know all of you!!

Flushing unused antibiotics down the toilet is leading to a growing problem of drug-resistant bacteria.
Stop flushing those meds!

I am super excited. I got a 30/30 on my Endocrine pharmacology exam! Prior to this exam, I was failing with a 75%. Now, I am well above passing!!
I couldn’t be more excited!! Time to go out for dinner with my husband in celebration.
Happy Halloween, lovely followers! I hope you have an amazing evening!

“I am a nursing student. I study more than I sleep. I am never “done” with my homework because there is always more to do. I cover about 500 pages of info per week and I am expected to retain and recall it all at any given time. I may only go to class or clinical a couple or a few days a week, but don’t let that fool you, I am always a nursing student with work to be done. I am giving up my time with family, friends, and myself to learn how to save other people’s lives. Please support and encourage that. If you are a nursing student or you know and love one, you know the drill - Re-post it!”
This is what is trending on facebook right now. Thought it applied! :)
