Ok..I have to apologize to all of my followers...all 5 of you :) I know I promised to update more often..but I'm in my final semester of nursing school...can you blame me??
With studying..clinicals..my two jobs...stressing about finding a job...facing NCLEX...it's been busy! As a matter of fact, it's 10:40pm and I've been here in the library since 12:30p! Needless to say, I've been catching up on such award-winning television programs via the Internet such as Beverly Hills Fabulous and Braxton Family Values. You know..real TV..lol! But, I did get some studying in. Got my Burns/Neuro exam on Monday..and then the final is a week later! But, before all of that..I'm heading BACK to Texas!
Yes, BACK to Texas! I went down for spring break about a month ago to do some networking and it was an extra-fabulous trip. I got to do a six hour shadowing experience an AWESOME and AMAZING Level 1 Trauma hospital in Texas. I won't reveal the name of the hospital just yet but it is awesome! I got to spend 2 hours in the ER following a nurse, 2 hours in the ICU and 2 on the Observation Unit. Everyone is so nice and friendly there..and did I mention the hospital is amazing?? The town it's in is a small town but that is the least of my concerns. I applied for their new grad internship and got an email to interview in their ICU..which is why I'll be going back down to interview on the 22nd (Good Friday..and I'm hoping it IS a good Friday for me!). I'm super excited also because a nursing school friend, "Melanie" also got to interview there for a position in their OR. I'm praying that both of us get the jobs.
So, this next week will be super busy! But, I'm not so stressed because I've been doing well on my exams. Got an A on the Cardiac exam...an 85 on the Respiratory exam (a C..boo!)...a B on the Metabolism/Community exam (a 91...again..boo!) and I have this neuro/burn exam. I'm a bit scared because the teacher was a little insane..and she quit on last Thursday. She's not even going to be here to give us our exam..or when we take our final. There also was some controversy with her exam for the day students because apparently, she used last year's teacher exam..instead of making her own. So, we shall see.
I have it all figured out though. If I get the minium passing grade on the neuro/burn exam and on the final, I'll still end up with a B (87%). So, I should be good. But, I'm still going to study and try to get higher than the minimum!
I'm going to REALLY try to update this blog more often..especially after the exams and the interview. 60 more days to go until graduation..can you believe it?!?! :D
