WEEK 1 AS A LEVEL 4 NURSING STUDENT

Wellllllll, time has just flown by, hasn't it? I guess 3 weeks really is no time. I'm sure that will make me feel much better by the time week 7 of school hits. Hahaha!

So this week felt hectic, as usual. Luckily, my new planner has become my best friend. There was a lot of course reading to become acquainted with the guidelines and requirements.

I'm really excited about my classes - I feel like I can learn a lot about patho this semester in clinical AND PBL. It seems to me like I've learned to let the little things go. I can't quite put my finger on it, but in PBL when we were discussing group norms and presentation topics and dates, I felt a sense of zen which I hadn't felt at all before in PBL. I'm still trying to figure it out....it's not at all that I don't care about school anymore, because, hello, keener much? I think it's moreso that I'm trying to be more open and flexible to everything - Karen was right, there are a lot of things I can't control in life. I need to look and focus on what I can do, right? Is it really worth me becoming worked up over something small? On the grand scheme of things, something like calling vs texting is not a huge deal. I will always have my personal preferences, but I can only control what I do.

I'm super excited to be at SPH! Clinical rotations are on Thur/Fri and we get to do days and evenings! Evenings mean that we get off at 2200 meaning xmas lights!!! I'm so excited!!

Anyway, lots more to say, I'm sure, but I must attend to my Community Nursing discussion posting now! Until week 2, folks!
