Snazzy!

Today our official uniforms came in. 

 All crispy white linen with our school patch that says Registered Nurse Student on it!  I feel so nursy now!

Monday is our orientation at the hospital that we will be doing our clinical rounds in.  

Hair up and off the shoulders and back, minimal makeup, small stud earrings, no other jewelry except a watch, all white uniform, all white shoes and socks, nude undergarments.  Wooohoooo!

I'm excited to see where I will be working as a student for the next two years.

Hello Ms. Vice President

Wow!  I have made it through two weeks of nursing school and I feel pretty good.  We had our first test last week and I made an 88%.  That's not my goal grade nor am i satisfied with a B ever but, i will make the A on the next exam.  Over half the class failed the test so, a B is excellent when compared to the rest of the class.

The exam was over about 25 chapters of the book.  I spent the first week doing nothing but reading.

Next order of business....I was elected the VICE PRESIDENT of the Student Nurses Association!  I am very proud of my accomplishments so far.  I am thanking God every single step of the way and praying that he continue to help me to do well.


We have another test next week and I will be spending all free time studying and preparing.

This week we are on Hygiene, Mobility/Immobility, Vital Signs, an Elimination.  I have to be honest and say that i was tickled pink to learn how to use the old fashioned blood pressure cuff.  I had no idea how nurses were reading blood pressure with that thing!  Now i know!  I feel so empowered!!  LOL
