Oh my goodness! Has this semester seriously almost come to an end? I cannot believe it! I think about how we only have four more days of class and then come finals! Finals, finals, FINALS! Stress, stress, STRESS?! But honestly, all in all, what would have come of this semester without it? I would not have pushed myself so much. This is what I have learned as a result of my first semester in nursing school:
*I can literally do anything I put my mind to.
*This is truly what God wants me to do.
*Good sleep is more beneficial that staying up late to study when I cannot retain anything.
*Stress can be a very good thing.
*Caring for people is more than just fulfilling their physical needs. It is about caring for the whole individual (holistic healthcare).
*I feel like a nerd when I speak medical jargon in front of people who have no idea what I am talking about.
*I have learned the importance of classmates: People who will colaborate with you, help and encourage you, and people who lighten the mood, making the day seem a little less chaotic.
*The importance of wearing gloves before a blood glucose stick. ;)
*Professor Haldeman is the best clinical instructor. Haha - extra points??? =) But seriously, she has been GREAT to learn under.
The list can go on and on but those were the first ones that came to mind. I have enjoyed my journey thus far. A lot of events have gone on outside of the classroom setting that have made it hard to "do" school. However, God has helped me through. He has held my hand, instructed my heart, and deepened my mind so that I can accomplish the things that I have this semester. I am so excited for the next couple of years. I wish that we all make it to the next semester.
Well, here I go...Happy Studying!

No Kidding, Rheayn. I 'm right there with you. This has been a huge stress fest but it has been soooo fun. This has been the best time ever for me, I just LOVE nursing school and I love all of you guys, too. I pray for you all each night and before each class, and right before our tests. I want us all to succeed and walk together on graduation day.
I got to say that I am really trying to focus on all you little bullet points as the final I am dreading most is tomorrow. Seriously what is the deal with 40%? Ok that was all the negativity only good thoughts from here on out. Good luck and thanks for the tips.
