How'd that happen?

Someone should have been keeping me on my toes!! No new posts since March?! And absolutely NOTHING about Nursing 2?!! Well, this must be an indication that the last nine weeks just flew by! And they did!

Nursing 2 was more of the same schedule, same routine, the tests got a little harder, and I enjoyed my days a whole lot more! I relaxed a little and had fun with the days at the hospital. The routines of the documentation and the 4:30 am mornings weren't so bad. I finished Nursing 3 (pharmacology) with a B, and Nursing 2 with a B also. So, all things considered- 14 units, 2 As, 2 Bs, the first semester was a success!

As for the graphic stuff- an amputation dressing change tops the list. I observed it- didn't have to do it- but I'm pretty sure dressing changes that gnarly won't be on my top 10 list of things to do as an RN. And I was pleasantly surprised at the circulating RNs role in the OR. Now that is a job I could have fun doing! I think I do good with the support role, so that is a definite possibility for a specialty.

So, for the summer, I plan on catching up with my friends, having fun, and somehow trying not to forget everything I've learned during the spring semester. The fall semester starts with psychology and then beginning med-surg for the last nine weeks.

Yay! One semester down, three more to go!
