Fouth Week of Nursing School

[nyghtinggail]

I started clinicals this wk. And they are incredibly exhausting; in part because the teachers usually have 6wks in class with us before beginning and this semester the only had 3wks with us. Today, I did a sponge bath and occupied bed change. And was pretty much molested by the resident in the bed. Only a little horrifying. Also, it has motivated

i saw your comment in the iud_divas community, liked the glasses in your userpic, and clicked to read your journal, only to find out that you're in nursing school! i just started an associate degree nursing program a little over a month ago. i've worked as a nurse's aide for the past 2.5yrs so it's not too terrifying (so far). anyway, i just wanted to let you know i've added you to my friends list, and if you like you can feel free to do the same. i haven't written much lately, though that should change soon! cheers :)

Hey, I love new lj friends. And the more nurses the merrier. I considered an Associates program, but the only one around here ended up being closer to 3 or 4 years rather than 2. Time is of the essence. But I plan on moving up to the RN level when I can.

Also, I see that you're a vegan! I've been trying to go that route, but have had a lot of hang ups with it lately. But most of my family is starting to make a move in that direction as well so it'll get easier I'm sure. :)

I'll pop over to your journal to see what you're all about.

oh, cool! yeah, i've spent the past two years getting all the pre-reqs out of the way so that i can just focus on nursing now that i'm in the program. actually, the program i'm in is so competitive (as are all programs nowadays i guess!) that in order to be accepted into the program all pre-reqs had to be completed. after i finish this year i can sit for the LPN exam and i might do that so i can get some experience passing meds and things before my last year of school.

yeah, i'm a very passionate, happy vegan. i agree that it can be difficult at times, i went vegan 3 times (and then reverted back to vegetarianism) before veganism finally "stuck." it's been almost 2 years now that i've been vegan, and i love it. i'd be happy to help you with your transition if you have any questions! :)
