School has me on a roller coaster ride of emotions, fears and I don't even know what else to say, hmm maybe stress. I have been at the hospital for 2 weeks now and have to say this is my favorite part of nursing school but know for sure that I don't want to be on a post op floor when practicing. I do not know how many people I can wipe or how many people I just want to hold on to and grief with. I am thinking I need more action, like emergency. I do not think I want to form a personal relationship with the people I am helping and this is for my own good. I don't not want to bring work home and I know I would if I formed personal relationships with my patients.
So far in the hospital the most exciting/crazy thing I have seen is a my patient that had Jaundice. To see a person the color of an orange is very eye opening. I look forward to this week at the hospital and learning new skills.
As far as book work, eh its OK. I have did OK on all my test so far. I have definitely dropped my standards from straights A's to whatever is passing! I came to conclusion that if I pass I will be happy and know one will know when I graduate if I was a straight A student or a just passing student, but for now, I'm doing good!
Ill keep you all posted on my progress and will post pictures soon. We learn injections tommorow! I am excited!
