About Me

undergrad RN
I'm a twenty-something Canadian student. After stumbling through a few years of college, I finally managed to get into the nursing school of my dreams, where I hope to graduate in 2012 with a nursing baccalaureate degree. I want to offer an honest look into how a modern nurse is educated, both good and bad. Eventually I hope to compare my education to my day-to-day career and see how it holds up. Whatever happens, it should be somewhat entertaining. Find me on allnurses.com!

Staying Positive

The deadline for my UNE submission has been changed to April 15 (Thursday). I still have a fair shot. I'm getting the form from my instructor tomorrow when I turn in my third and final (!) care plan for this semester.

I'm feeling a lot more positive and relaxed now. I've got a huge emotional investment riding on being accepted into AHS. I'm scared and excited and hopeful.

When people ask me what I do, I am so proud to say I am in nursing school.

Every day I am making a difference to someone and I am so, SO, in love with my profession. I have never had a doubt in the last 2 years that I was making the right choice. Everything that I see and do has been inspiring and challenging to me. Menial tasks like fetching water or changing linens have never bothered me. I have been privileged to help people in their times of medical and emotional need. I am in a trusted position and people listen to me, really listen, when I speak to them. I work hard to hear what they have to say.

It has been a long journey and I'm only halfway there, but this opportunity to begin embracing my chosen role is one that I have been waiting a lifetime for and I am so ready to get started.
