Nursing 1 is over!!

So, I thought I'd write a reflective piece on Nursing 1. Most of it is here already. The semesters are broken up into two nine week sessions for the most part. This semester I am enrolled in Nurising 1, 2 and 3. Nursing 1 is Nursing Fundamentals, Nursing 2 is Intro to Medical-Surgical Nursing, and Nursing 3 is the blasted pharmacology class that I can't quite figure out. N3, or Pharm, is a whole semester class, while the other two are nine week classes. The way this works is you have to pass each one to move on to the next. Simple right?

Anyway- took the final this morning and scored an 86%, finished the course with a 91%, so off to Nursing 2 I go... now if I get to start Nursing 4 or 5 next semester will depend on if I can actually pass the pharmacology class- hence the importance of passing that class.

This is boring me so it's probably boring you too... on to something more interesting.

Nursing 1 in review...

• 4 a.m. mornings and I don't get along (who's surprised?)
• I'm more nervous working with the nurses than the patients
• I know the difference in a colostomy bag and an ileostomy bag- first hand! I successfully missed the splatter when a bag spilled its contents in the middle of the hall on a walk...
• I didnt get any blood or body fluids on my uniform
• I didn't kill anyone or hurt anyone
• And you can learn and do ANYTHING that you put your mind to!

So I'd say it was a success!! Thanks for all your love and support! Couldn't do it without you!
