Already feeling it...

It has only been one week in my second semester of nursing school and I am already exhausted! I am at least 150 pages behind in my reading and have read at least 200 pages. I have spent 12 hours on objectives on top of all of my reading, and it just keeps piling up! I hate when I sit in class and feel like I honestly know nothing.

But then encouraging words slip in. I talk to the 4th semester students and they promise me that it gets better, that I know more than I think I do, and that the teachers are really caring and understanding and flexible. So this week, the second week of the semester, I am putting a positive outlook on things and being confident in what I have learned and that I will be able to conquer another semester.

On another positive note, I start clinical rotations next week, which will be great. I am going to be at Renown Southmeadows doing my Med-Surg and OB rotations with 7 of my classmates. I finally get to put some of my knowledge to use. I am so excited and can't wait to test myself, reach past my boundaries, and feel like I one day really am gonna make it through school and get into the real world!

So wish me luck on another semester...Pathophysiology and Nursing Care II...you are going down!!!
