My favorite song of all time!

With everything that has happened in the last few months I have had many thoughts about my grandma and how proud I know I have made her. I only wish she could be here to see it and share it with me. She passed before she saw me graduate high school and my eighteenth birthday. I know she is always with me and watching over me. This is just a little tribute to her that I use on a regular basis.

Ich Liebe Dich Meine Oma!

I'm a Nurse!

Well I completed my first shift as a true official nurse! In my definition anyways. I am on a MED-SURG Unit with Pediatric clients. I have not yet had the opportunity to work with any pediatric clients but the time will come. I had one patient she was easy, I got oriented to the unit and the staff...I was surprised at how clear everything is now. I had a 'light bulb" moment and came to realize that I made things so big when I was in school. I got to give 3 IV pushes one schedule and 2 PRNs. One I did all by myself! It felt so good. The one thing I would like to do better is learn to be more personal with my clients, instill the values that my hospital stands by. That is my goal for my next shift. I am hoping that I have two patients next time. I havent yet worked with my assigned preceptor, due to her not being available. I was assigned to someone else and then they got floated and then I worked with someone else. Yeah! What a way to start a new job! I am supposed to work with someone else again next time. I sent an email to my manager requesting not to come in and work with someone else other than my assigned preceptor. Anywho, I am enjoying everything that I am experiencing. I like all of my cohorts and most of the staff I have met. I will keep you posted on any changes or updates that happen along the journey!

Dreams really do come true!

You have to see this! What a fantastic feat! Just hold on to your dreams and they will come true! I take inspiration from this wonderful sweet lady!

The best book ever!

Okay, best book ever! I just finished it this evening! It has given me tons of advice, guidance and tips for success for my first year as a Nurse! I loved it and I recommend it to all who will be graduating or who has just recently graduated. I cant express in my own words well enough the value of this book, but if you are interested check it out!

Second Knitted hat

So this is my second knitted hat. I dont like the way it turned out at all! I dont have a picture of me wearing it because it's too big! Frustrating...all the measurements are wrong but it still is a functional hat just not for me. No worries though, I feel good for actually having completed it.
