I just want to shout it again ... I LOVE nursing school!!! ....and I will love getting done in another five short weeks. This has been one heck of a journey to travel through and I know that I have grown and stretched myself in so many directions over these last couple of years.
I am so enjoying my clinical in the NICU - I know my heart are with caring for the babies and I hope that I will be able to find work in this field after graduation.
Currently we are about half way through with summer term and I am working on getting papers and assignments out of the way. There is so much reading to get done and once done there is always more to learn. I love it! But I am tired mentally and on my clinical days I leave with minimal energy to do more homework after at 12 1/2 hour day in the hospital.
The experiences that I am having in the NICU are amazing and challenging. Everyday I am reminded of what my sweet baby looks like right now and how much assistance she would still need if she were to arrive at the present moment. Everyday I am thankful for another day of keeping her safe in my belly.
I feel so privileged in my rotation to work with great nurses and have wonderful support from clinical faculty for my learning and progression in school. I have learned so much and still I know there is a mountain of more knowledge and skills to gain. Small steps will make big gains....so for now I just get moving forward.
I am almost a nurse .... five more weeks of school and then the NCLEX exam. I can do this ... I feel fantastic doing this :-)
