20 credit hours and many hours studying behind me which means 1/3 of nursing school is complete! I have to admit it feels good, but I still feel I have awhile to go! Whew. The best part of the summer was the transition from Mr. Duck to the REAL patients. Meet Mr. Duck, don't worry I don't climb in bed with all of my patients. Ha! These patients are poked, prodded and spoken to by nursing students on a regular basis. It's been fun Mr. Duck (we have Mrs. Ducks too), but I have to say I am FAN of the real patient. My clinical group started on an orthopedic floor and it was a great learning experience with dressing changes, shots, removal of drains, and even some baths--don't be jealous. Having real patients and having them talk back about the care I am giving them has only solidified my decision to become a nurse. So, here's to the next week and a half "summer" break and then we'll talk about the 23 hours for fall.
