The Final of First Steps in Becoming A Registered Nurse

     This semester though bringing its challenges and still bringing its difficulties as the semester comes to a close, this semester was just the first steps in becoming a registered nurse. These first steps have been scary, sometimes felt like baby steps and sometimes felt like big leaps that have been difficult to handle, but as the semester has evolved, I feel nothing more than an ever greater desire to be a nurse. 

    There have been times, even like today studying for two of this semesters third exams, when things have been difficult to juggle, and truly felt like they have pushed me over the edge. Regardless of this feeling of being pushed over the edge, because there is so much knowledge being forced into my brain, I somehow find joy and comfort in the information I'm learning. In some weird way or another it all feels right. 

    I have truly worked so hard this semester to succeed to be able to continue my career as a nursing student and someday in the near future become a nurse. I hope these rewarding feelings and little victories as a nursing student, will someday be my career, where I am constantly being rewarded by my career that I worked so hard for.

    Hi Samantha! I can relate to you in how it felt like this semester has truly pushed us with all the knowledge but I am sure it will be worth it in the end. You are right that these are our first steps into becoming a registered nurse and I am very excited for what the future may bring. Good luck with finals and finishing up the semester!

Pediatrics Exams 1 and 2 (Reflecting on my Performance and Coursework)

     At this point in the semester, we are nearly halfway through the coursework for all of the classes. For pediatrics, we have been running on a pretty consistent schedule with exams 1 and 2 being about a month apart, and there being about the same amount of content on both exams.      From the start I have taken a great interest in the coursework and topics being lecture on in pediatrics lecture. Whether it was from the first exam learning the different stages of developments of a child, or what we have been getting more in depth with, the alterations of different body systems in a pediatric child and the disorders that come with it.      Since I have taken a liking to this class. I have been inclined to study above and beyond for the course. For both of the past exams, I have ensured that I was taking the time to really read the book, the charts and photos in the book to help supplement my reading and even taking notes on the re...

Last Pediatrics Clinical & My Experiences!

      As I originally entered pediatrics clinical, I was more scared than anything due to the fact that I really did not have much experience with kids, let alone taking care of sick kids. To me after the first day of clinical I assumed that I would dread waking up every Wednesday morning, and feel like I was walking around on eggshells, however, after experiencing my last day, I am going to be upset every Wednesday I wake up and do not get to go to CHOP and take care of the children.      Though you may assume a student nurse does not get to do much on clinical at a children's hospital (as I also assumed prior) I learned so much from my opportunities at CHOP. Even on the occasional days or hours where I was left to do not much but watch, it was still one of the best experiences I have gotten. I cried in the car on the way home from my last clinical, because I was really so moved how just a simple 6 weeks could change my outlook on nursing and mak...
