Getting Started...
So I decided to start a blog to keep everyone updated on my progress going through nursing school. Maybe this will be easier than individually telling everyone, we'll see. Right now I am enrolled full time and taking 3 classes. The Fundamental of Nursing, Pharmacology and Nursing Clinical I. I also have a skills lab for 2 hours a week (we learn on manikins before we practice on patients) My clinical's are taking place right now in Clare. I am in a nursing home for the first 10 weeks and then the hospital for the last 6. I am really enjoying it so far, I wasn't too crazy about being in the nursing home but it really isn't as bad as I had anticipated. I've already learned a lot. I will be starting week 5 on Monday. So far so good on my tests, A's so far. I have two tests coming up on Tuesday and Wednesday...So as you can expect I will be busy reading and studying all weekend. I'll try to keep you posted!

Hey Erica....
10 weeks in nursing home, that is the beginning and for the most part it goes uphill from there.
It is actually nice to be able to spend so much time with those patients while you hone your skills, as they really need the TLC. I always thought about each one as if they were my grandparents and how I would want them treated. I know you will keep busy! Take Care, Pam
I think I finally got this blog stuff figured out. I haden't realized you commented me until now! I'm liking it there so far, I know quite a few of the residents now and feeling more and more comfortable. Thats exactly how I look at it, I think these people are someone else's grandparents and if they were taking care of mine, this is how I would want them to do it. It's nice to hear from you! I might have to come by and "Practice" some stuff during Christmas break. Talk to you later.
