Student Nursing

Officially a Student Nurse

(this is the main reason why on why I have zero time to blog up until now)

So yeah, I am officially a Student Nurse and I have begun my training in the clinical and hospital setting. Whoever told me that nursing was a walk in the park was probably crazy; trust me it’s not, that is why I’m starting to love and respect the profession more and more the challenges and responsibilities involve really brings out one’s potential and drive.

I am done with the adjustment phase, so all my complaining about waking up early, keeping my uniform pearly white (which I thought was impossible) to avoid demerits and the horrid heat in the hospital setting has pretty much gone out the window. I think I adjusted pretty well even when presented with extreme conditions. I am now sleeping early and yes I am proud to say that I have beaten my insomnia problem and now I possess an internal alarm clock which is set to go off at 4am due to my early hospital shifts.

I am proud of nurses, besides hearing from friends and family that my duty uniform suits me, now I can fully say that this profession is meant for me. It takes lots and lots of knowledge and skills, common-sense and physical and mental toughness to accomplish the task at hand. Oh and the patience that is involved in this profession is unnerving. It takes guts to approach and confide yourself with the diversity an

d the different personalities of patients and the hospital staff. That’s why I commend the profession, to some people it might seem or look easy, but for the once like us who takes the stuff seriously and are involved and experiences the different problems and

situations first hand it’s a steep climb, but yep it's doable.

Kudos to nurses and the work that you do, someday, hopefully I’ll hold the RN title and stand among you guys.
