Spring Semester: Week 10

I love when my weeks end on a good note! The Dean of my nursing school found out I got the NSNA scholarship and all my professors were so happy for me. They set up a meeting for me next week to take pictures and I believe an interview and I have to dress in professional attire :)

This week at clinical I finished my carp experience and we all got certificates. At med-surg clinical I pulled out my first NG tube, did my client education project on how to use an incentive spirometer, and I emptied my first ileostomy!

Tomorrow NSA at my school organized a service project at Quantum House and we are cooking a St. Patrick’s day dinner for the kids and families. We are decorating the entire house in St. Patrick’s day theme and we are setting up cupcake decorating for the kids! It is going to be a blast and mostly all my professors will be there!

I love my nursing family!! Pictures of tomorrow will be up after :)

Spring Semester: Weeks 5, 6, & 7

The last couple of weeks have been so crazy. Had our first service project with NSA and we worked with an organization called Hugs and Kisses Inc. They make button bracelets for donations and help raise money for cancer patients and their treatment. We also had a local bagel place donate 60 bagels for our event. In total we raised about $200 dollars for cancer patients. It was such a success. The only bad thing was that because I wasn’t getting any sleep and nonstop planning for this event, sickness finally caught up with me.

Haven’t had too much time to post on here, but just wanted to give an update on what’s been going on lately. Not too much since I’m sick right now. Hopefully it’ll go away fast since midterm week is next week!

And I’m trying to study for my first Psych test tomorrow but I just feel so blah! Wish it was Spring Break already! 2 more weeks :)
