NSNA Convention 2012

Having so much fun!! Dance party time :)

Finally!

Booked my flight for the NSNA Convention :) Yayyyy

Booking a flight is stressful.

Trying to book a flight to this convention has been exhausting. Every time I find something, it goes to another page and says there are no seats on the plane yet it doesn’t erase the flight from the list! And the prices keep rising each day.

Can’t wait until this flight is booked! Blehh

Week 2: Spring Semester

Happy Sunday! This week went really well. I had my first day of Psych clinical and Med-Surg 2 clinical. Both were great, but Med-Surg was definitely more exciting. At Med-Surg 2 clinical my first patient was an oncology patient and he was fairly young. So sad to see, but I really believe he appreciated all the care he received on Thursday. This week (week 3) is going to be so busy and crazy. I have leadership fair on Tuesday and our NSA has a table set up. I have a dysrhythmia skit to perform on Tuesday as well (My group is V. Tach) and clinical journals and DHATs to fill out and research articles to find for Nursing Research. I also am assigned to lead group therapy at Psych clinical so that is what I am working on now. I’m doing art therapy so we shall see how this goes lol AND the NSA convention is coming up in April so there is ALOT of planning to do as far as registration, hotel, and flight! Hope you all are enjoying what is left of the weekend :) Have a great week!

I’m such a weirdo…In a good way…I hope.

Who in their right mind actually wishes they were in school and not on break?  As the fall semester was coming to an end I wanted so badly for it to be over already, but ever since my NSA officer’s meeting I’ve been anxious to start school again…and this was the day after we got out of school for break! HAHA 

I am just beyond excited to be leading my school’s chapter of NSA next year.  I spent all day yesterday and today coming up with community service project ideas and fundraising ideas.  I just see all the possibilities that come along with being on the board and I cannot wait.

I think I am most excited to hopefully be taking over for the seniors this spring semester and going to the annual NSNA convention.  This year it is in Pittsburgh, PA.  Just being able to network and make connections.  To think that in a year and a half I could have my dream job…WOW. 

Each day I thank God that I have been blessed to attend such an amazing school with the most amazing classmates and professors.  Someone pinch me, please.
