Free from the grips of third quarter

So I'm getting ready to tackle my last quarter head on. OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOSSHH!!! Only freakin 11 weeks left. These last 9 months has been hell, the question is would I do it again. I'm insane but I'd say yes. Why because before going into this program I knew what I was setting myself up for which was no life for 12 months. I am so freakin' happy. I ended last quarter with Peds-A,Community-A,Pharmacology II-A-, and Adult II-B+. Peds clinical was the quarter I enjoyed the most suprisingly I didnt think I would. I think it was because I wasnt in a hospital setting, it was a long term healthcare facility with children born with congenital abnormalities, intentional or unintentional accidents(bath tub drownings, gunshot victims,MVA, abuse, etc). I got alot of straight cath experience, tube feedings, trach suctions. I really loved my experience and I felt proficient.
I feel blessed because for some reason this quarter was the hardest for me despite thru the rumor mill 2nd quarter is the hardest. Anyhoo, Adult was the class I studied my ass off and I was pulling B's after my failing first quiz score of a 73, a 76 is passing for us. I guess just couldnt get the style of the professors teaching but I passed and I am moving on to the last quarter. Can you tell I'm excited?

I am blessed and i dont care how horrible this upcoming quarter is which again its supposedly the "hardest", I will be fightin tooth and nails to get to crossing that stage and getting pinned. I will be a Registered Nurse and I will continue on to getting my masters and I will meet and surpass my goals and I will succeed. Why you may ask? Because Jesus got my back.

So next in line is critical care,gerontology(I'm so tired of that topic), research(I plan on enjoying that if I have the time), senior seminar, and nursing leadership(I'll be sharpening my skillz).

Oh yeah I never got to tell you my exciting news, I was able to shadow this nurse on one of her prenatal house calls. Can I say I was like a little kid in a junk food store. I could so see myself waking up every morning doing this job. Unfortunately where I'm relocating that organization is not established. So what does the initiator in me wants to do? You got it, I plan on getting the ball rolling. Alrighty I'm going to continue relaxing before hell quarter starts. I'll try to update more. Much love.
