Life of a Nursing Student

Haven’t written in awhile.

Started my last semester of nursing school a few weeks ago. Thought the semester would be slower and easier since its less credit hours than previous semesters…I was wrong. Ain’t nobody got time for eight week courses. Not to mention I have my RN predictor test in about two weeks. So scared. Community clinical is going well and this will be my last week at a local elementary school with the kiddies.

I started applying to Pediatric nurse residency programs. Decided I definitely do not want to stay in Florida. It’s time for a new start and new adventures.

Oh and I started a countdown to pinning and graduation! 94 days until pinning and 96 days until graduation! Wooo!

Soooo…

The medical mission trip to Thailand was officially cancelled a couple weeks ago. Not enough students wanted to attend! Craziness! The professor said he’s planning another trip for fall break, but that is four days. If I’m going on a mission trip across the globe I want to at least spend a week wherever I’m at. With that, I’m thinking about going on a medical mission trip with my school instead of the cultural class during winter or spring break!…Only thing left to decide is where I should go?!? Hmmm

Summertime

It feels so weird not to be in school right now! I miss my nursing family already. On the hunt for a nurse externship and keeping my fingers crossed that something comes my way. Also, my room during the school year was SO messy I don’t know how I lived in it LOL I finally spent a whole day cleaning and organizing EVERYTHING! Now I just have to sort through all my binders and notebooks and get rid of papers and junk I don’t need. Oddly enough I enjoy organizing my school stuff for the new semester/year. Also, I am beyond excited for my senior year!!! Pediatrics and Obstetrics is first and this is what I’ve been waiting for my whole life! Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps :)

To keep me semi busy this summer while I continue my externship search, I will be a summer camp counselor for a science camp for little kids at my university. Its going to be a ton of fun i can tell and my salary is going to go towards the medical mission trip I plan to go on at the end of summer! Don’t know the location but apparently somewhere in Europe! Ahh

What is everyone’s summer plans? Anyone have any Peds/OB stories to share?! :D
