This Week

This week...

I finished my Med/Surg II rotation on the transplant floor, and turned in 27 pages worth of care plans and probably three times that many pages in drug cards.

I visited the Bone Marrow Transplant floor for a "specialty" day, and remembered why I LOVE working in oncology.

I successfully completed my Med/Surg II Simulation, and managed not to kill my post-MI dummy in the pretend cardiac step-down unit.

I reflected on some of the great and not-so-great experiences I have had in nursing school so far.  I related to Jennifer-Clare Williams in her guest post on the AJN blog "Off The Charts".
This is a MUST-READ for current and aspiring nursing students!
I especially liked how she described feeling more awkward and uncertain than ever before in her life, while realizing that she was learning and surviving in the process.  I feel like Jennifer's words came straight from my brain.

And it's only Wednesday!
