No rest for the ...

Could say no rest for the wicked, weary or a dozen other things. Because I am burnt, and now I have to shop and travel for the holidays. Classes are finished and grades will be posted by the 23rd, why not just wait until Christmas day and really bring joy or despair to someone. One instructor who is a tough cookie and still puzzles me a bit, but I guess that sometimes you need that person to keep you on your toes.

The information learned and my brain still hurts with T-cells, research, disease and on and on. I thought it would help that as a nurse you give numerous suppositories and catheterize men and women patients on a regular basis. Not really, it was still uncomfortable and no help when it came to checking my first prostate and doing a cervical exam.  

Completing my bachelor’s degree was all about research and writing papers, lots of papers. Here in every class it is all about weekly quizzes, checkouts and stressful mid-term and final exams. Out one week and I am already thinking about starting again in January.

I am comforted by hearing all that you must learn in order to graduate. I have used NPs a lot in my adult life and have nothing but good to say about my experiences. EachNP i have had dealings with has been professional, knowledgable, and kind. Thanks for being one of the chosen....

Hang in there NPO you'll have a down moment soon and then you can relax and breath more easily! My last final is scheduled for Tuesday and we fly out to Dallas on Friday, just seems like one thing after another but there will be peace eventually. Just got to search it out right??
I agree with Lynda, I love my NP and I love the NP my kid's see, so you're learning a lot and it will pay off in the end.
