I am not sure where the time has gone honestly. I haven't been very diligent about posting on this blog site very well. Somehow here I am.... 6 weeks until graduation in my LAST semester of nursing school. Today I met my preceptor that I am going to shadow for the next 160 hours. I am so excited that I am going to be in OB (primarily mother/baby unit) at the hospital that I preferred. I start my first shift on Thursday 7/12/12 @ 7am-3pm in the Nursery. I get to work around new babies all day, how cool is that?! Definitely what I was meant to do without a doubt.
Thinking about the last year and a half makes me feel dizzy. The amount of work and dedication I've had to put into this program is overwhelming and no matter how much you think your prepared for nursing school, it is another thing once you have started. I remember going through each semester thinking that it couldn't possibly get any worse with the amount of stress or workload put on you. Of course each semester I am pleasantly (well not really) surprised that it does get worse... much MUCH worse.
But on a good know I'm almost done!... So here's a quote to think about (trying to end on a positive note).
"Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it." ~ Maya Angelou
