goodness, time just flies by

well we finished our fall break without incident, for sure. just have one more test this semester, ati, and then our final exam. i am so excited to be just almost finished with just one more long semester to go. unfortunately it is going to be filled with nothing but med-surg, and i have already been forewarned of just how difficult it is. i just want to be done, but moving ahead slowly but surely. this semester has seemed to just simply fly by. i can remember our first clinical in the psych hospital, and now of course, we are finished with clinicals for this semester. having gone through all of the OB stuff has been really exciting. it will be difficult to go back to the other stuff and have to relearn and review it all over again in even more detail than before.

work has still been crazy with the census fluctuating from shift to shift it seems. we have been blessed with warmer than normal weather lately and people just aren't really sick yet. i have a feeling that when they finally do succumb, we will be getting slammed. i am ready for all the learning experience i can get in the icu over this winter and spring so that when i graduate, i am ready to work. i will probably have to work on the floor to begin with, but i still hold out the possibility of working in the unit when i graduate. that is why they are spending the time with me to work in there, because that is where they are planning for me to work if there is a spot open.
