Well school has officially started since monday. So far so good. I have two nursing classes. One on monday and one on wednesday. Thursday and Friday are clincal days at the hospital. I am really nervous because I am on the medicine surgical floors. It will be pretty fast paced i am guessing.
I always wonder if I am in the right career because I get so nervous when I think of everthing I still don't know. However once I am actually working I love it. From baby deliveries to injections I love being the one there. Only two more years to go. I know it will go by fast because it feels like I just started this program and I am almost 2 years into it.
Well I hope everybody's school and work semesters are going well. Good luck and love to everyone I haven't seen in so long.

Hey there!
I totally know how your feeling with the nervousness thing. In PS1 one of my profs said there are 4 stages to becoming a competent teacher (and this could also apply to nursing i think)
1. you begin by being confidently incompetent
You go in with a gusto, so excited, confident but you really don't know what you're doing.
2. unconfidently incompetent
REality sets in and you realize how much you don't know - its a little scary
3. Unconfidently competent
You gain the skills and knowledge necessary to do the job but your confidence has yet to grow.
4. Last stage: Confidently Competent.
You know all you need to know and you trust yourself with that knowledge.
Its funny, but its true. This isn't to say there's no room for growth - cause there always is - but I could actually feel when I had gone on to the next step...
Erin are just learning in action! Thanks for the assurance. Because I am pretty sure I am in the 2-3 category. Its definitley a process though.
I am glad I am not the only one :)
Chryslyn, were you at Only Women's today (Jan. 13)? I was there for my leg wax and I was taking off my shoes and there was this pair that I swear was yours. I looked all over for you but didn't see you...I mean, I guess someone else could have those shoes too, but I was just so sure.
Shareenie. I hope your legs are silky smooth especially after the torture of waxing. Unfortunaltey no I was not at Only Women's. I was nowhere near a gym. On that note i am dying to go to Golds... Mommy please?
Ummm.... I know I wrote it, but is unconfident a word?
Erin i looked up unconfident on my online dictionary. It couldn't be found. Maybe you should invent it....
thanks, Chryslyn - and I'm university-educated. The prof must have used a different word because I can't imagine a professor saying "unconfident".
All that "smart' advice and the word doesn't even exist! Thanks for not making fun of me. I think I'll make it a word....
Chryslyn keep doing what you are doing, one day it will give you some good money and you will look back and laugh and say, hey I have money and I didn't before... :)
yes, get full of knowledge so everytime I have an ache or pain, I can come to you for medical advice. As an RN, you will have drug knowledge, no.....?
Hey Chryslyn, you up for going to Ezzies on Saturday night? We can have lesson #1 in Oprah Dancing 101....
TIME FOR ANOTHER POST! I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS UP
