Hug a nursing student, they need it!

First semester down, three more to go. I am sorry for not writing during this semester. I thought about writing, but I just did not have the brain power left at the end of the day to say anything remotely positive. My days started at 4:50am and I left the house at 5:50am in order to get to the hospital in time.

Me at 5:30am getting ready to go to clinical.

During my last two weeks I pulled a few all nighters (4:50am to 4:00am), okay so technically I got 50 minutes of sleep...let me assure you it was not enough. These all nighters had me contemplating all kinds of difficult questions, one of these was what is the purpose of upper lip sweat? When you are hot does upper lip sweat really make such a huge difference? I hope to find out the answer to that question during fall semester. If I wasn't at the hospital I was at campus studying...here was my set up.

Breakfast of champions, a pop-tart and a can of coffee. That is right, I didn't have enough time to wait for a decent cup of Joe to brew before leaving for school.

Greg and I were lucky enough to go to a couple of baseball games during the semester, but honestly I barely remember them. Ask any nursing student and you will hear the same thing... nursing school is hard, rewarding and frustrating, but mostly hard. I can't wait for next semester! (That is not sarcasm, it is the first day of summer and I am missing having something to do.)

Also just to show you how much there was to do this semester, here is what was in my back pack every single day.

I'll do my best to update this blog more often during my break this summer. Talk to you all soon!
