Well, I feel the shadow of the next quarter looming.Last quarter was so stressful and busy with nursing care plans and papers and projects that by the end of the quarter, I felt like I went through a jump line for a gang tryout (you know where they line up on both sides and keep hitting you while you walk through a tunnel to the end). I nearly got my butt kicked! I honestly didn't want to hear another thing about babies, butts, boobs, perineums, lochia, late decels, or phases and stages of labor! Thank GOD thats over.
Clinicals start on Monday the 29th. I am looking forward to this quarter because it'll be something new and exciting. We are starting with perioperative nursing care and I have begun reading early because it looks like we'll be just as busy as last quarter.
The sections look interesting and I am very interested in perioperative nursing so hopefully I might even enjoy this section. I'm not ready for the death and dying section but will meet that challenge head on when the time comes. Any advice on this area would be appreciated.
For now, I will continue to work my butt off with my fellow students (those that are left) and keep pushing through.
Any advice for a full time working mom and nursing student is always appreciated.
