A blog bum

Okay, so I know I've been a really big bum on the blogging. I can't help it though. I haven't sat down at my computer without very specific things (homework kind of things) to do for weeks. I know what you're saying--what about Christmas Break, you were off for two weeks. I know, and that sounds like a great argument, but over Christmas, besides seeing family who doesn't live in MS, I took the NCLEX-RN review (hurst review) and also got my ACLS certification (advanced cardiac life support). So fuss if you want about me not blogging, but if you go into cardiac arrest--I might just save your life. But enough of that rant.

The last semester of school is in full swing. Yep, you heard me--the LAST semester of the hardest thing I've ever done! I once thought RN school would be easy--how gullible I was! Seriously, I only know enough to be really dangerous, but I have learned so much. I can't say anything but positive things about the faculty. However, I'm scared to death of actually being a nurse. They are about to turn me loose on the general public--what are they thinking?!

I'm starting to apply places for internships. Hopefully internships will turn into jobs. I'll keep you informed.

We get our first test back tomorrow. I don't think I flunked it, but I didn't make an A either. I'm really shooting for a B. I still have enough stuff to do outside of nursing school to make an A. We started clinical this past week. Leslie and I were both in Outpatient Surgery. We only got to watch the procedures (obviously), but it was neat. I don't think I want to be a surgery nurse. I got really tired of standing in one spot.

Got lots of homework to do now. I'll try to do better with my blogging.

Stay tuned...
