New semester……..New Year! Wow, I can’t believe I’m already back and juggling a million schedules again so soon! My Christmas break was great. I got to relax and spend a lot of time with family and friends. I was able to let my brain rest and have some fun.
But it ended all too soon, of course, and now it’s time to get back into the swing of things. All my nursing classes for spring semester are in the afternoon starting at 1pm and ending at 6pm! Yea, that’s 6 PM…… I also have two work schedules and a clinical schedule to contended with. This semester my clinical will be a preceptorship. I will be paired with a nurse at a hospital and I will work her schedule on 12 hours shifts. Yet another schedule that I have to make time for. I am looking forward to my preceptorship, but I’m also kinda nervous. I will be able to use and practice many of my skills while learning how to manage and care for a group of patients instead of just one. It should prove to be a good learning experience. This semester is also going to be full of preparation for the NCLEX exam, the national test I have to take to receive my RN license. I will be graduating in May with my ADN degree, doing the Kaplan Review for NCLEX, and then taking the NCLEX soon after. It’s exciting and overwhelming all at the same time.
As Vice President of the Student Nurses Association here at GWU, I will be busy planning events and continuing to organize and grow our new chapter. I will also be traveling and promoting the North Carolina Association of Nursing Students as the District I Director. There will be so much going on I pray I can keep my head on straight. Yet, I have a feeling that this semester holds a lot of fun and memorable experiences for me and that makes it all worth it!
