Bye-bye nursing 3.5.0.


So the semester is finally done. Last week we took our finals and waved goodbye to Nuring 350 (351) and other classes that we were taking (for me this was a nursing research class). I'm not going to lie, the exams were challenging but I did good enough to pass on to the next course. Tuesday I had the exam in my nursing course and Thursday I had the exam in my research class. Overall it has been a good semester. Professors were nice and classes were mainly interesting. Clinical seemed to go well.

Nursing 420/421 are next, along with my psych clinical rotation and another general med-surg rotation. But what I think makes me the most happy is finally being able to see that end is so close. Only two semesters left! The next semester doesn't start until January 10, so I'm going to love the break that we have while I have it and will be updating again once the new semester starts. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

One more clinical done...and the semster is wrapping up.

So I am sad to say that our pediatric clinical rotation is now done. I really enjoyed working with this population, so I am sort of bummed. Last week Thursday was the last day at the hospital and we each had two patients the entire shift so that was a little different. And Friday was more of a fun day that consisted of mainly our evaluations with our clinical professor. My next clinical is the psychiatric rotation which will start in January and should be pretty interesting. So without having clinical on Thursday and Friday I have two days that opened up without any school until the new semester starts again in January. But for this past rotation I had 3 other students that were in my awesome nursing 315 class, so that was cool!

This is our last week in out theory class (topics include Abuse and Victimization, and Trauma). Then next Tuesday is our final exam...which is kind of scaring me.

I think that even with two semesters left, it is super cool that end is finally insight. I am so ready to be done. Another one of my awesome nursing 315 friends got this sweet idea and made a chain of how many days we have left until we are done with school! Here is the picture- Props to LG!
