Week Two

As week two winds down and Labor day approaches I feel relieved.  Me and a fellow nursing student, Gary Atkins, were talking about how good it felt to finally be doing things directly related to our future nursing duties and applying them with hands on training of taking a book or a model and trying to remember all that is labeled and listed.  I know it's not going to be a walk in the park but I feel really confident in the decision I made to choose nursing as a career.  I spoke to some second semester nursing students and they stated that they "hit the ground running" (An old military saying meaning they were busy from the first day of the semester.)  They stated that they had no free time to speak of.  I purchased an Aneroid Spyrogmomanometer (Blood Pressure Cuff) from G Willies for $28, another student said Helen's had them for $25, I know we didn't need our personal BP Cuff but I plan on using the family as guinea pigs.  I know it's pride, but does anyone else feel others looking at you differently when you wear your scrubs?  Well that's it for this week, can't wait till next.
