What a wild ride! I have to say, I have loved each and every minute of school. I can't wait to continue on and get my RN. Maybe my BSN so that I can teach. I would like that.
This last class was tough. I finished my externship clinical last Friday. It was the highlight of my school experience. I had the best instructor and I learned so much. It was great to be told, "Go be a Nurse. If you have questions for need help, find me'!!! I was at the most lovely site and everyone was so helpful and friendly. I have never seen a more team oriented place. I took care of all kinds of patients and had an experience that will be with me the rest of my life.
I never thought that I would be interested in being a hospice nurse, but what an experience that was. It was such a privilage to help usher someone out of their mortal existance. This patient was very sweet and kind. He afforded me a very satisfying experiene. Sad though it was, he taught me a great deal about death. The process was difficult, however, he remained strong in his faith and taught me many things. He was a gentle soul who went home to meet his Lord after much suffering and pain. Maybe this is my calling.
I am looking forward to being able to continue my education, find a job and help my fellow man. Corny as it may sound. . . . . . .I love being a nurse and am excited to practice. I am going to live a dream which didn't fully materialize until this very day.
I am proud of my self and I have every right to be. It has been awesome.
