First week back

It’s hard to believe that we are starting Med Surg II! It doesn’t seem that long ago that we were starting Fundamentals of Nursing. It seems like a lot has changed since then though. I have gained a lot of confidence in my ability to work hard and accomplish what I need to accomplish, whether that be a good grade on a test, a care plan, or simply doing well in clinical and not causing any harm to my patient. On the other hand, there are new things to be anxious about that I don’t think I could have even comprehended a year ago: IV meds, charting in a new computer system, starting to think about a resume for post graduation.

We shall see what the next few months brings! I can’t wait until the first few clinicals are under our belt.
