Spring Break is Over
Spring break came and went, but it was a nice week off. It didn’t feel much like Spring though, since we had a good bit of snow for most of the weekend. Over break, I just took time to relax from all the school work and I went to visit some of my friends in Evansville, Indiana. I was planning to stay a lot longer than I did, but they were suppose to get a lot of snow and ice and I didn’t want to drive back on the interstate in that. I hated leaving early, but wasn’t sorry that I missed driving in all the nasty weather. Oh, but while I was there I had ice cream from Cold Stone Creamery for the first time– Ahh–MAZING! I think that was the highlight of the trip. LOL. I also went to a children’s museum while I was there, kinda corny, I know, but it was actually a lot of fun. In one part of it, you stood under this huge brain structure and played some light memory game (a lot like Simon, (I think that’s what it was called) for anyone who remembers that). It was pretty fun, except for when it started talking, which creeped all of us out just a little bit. Oh, and I got a marriage proposal from a little kid while we were out to dinner **Haha** All in all, it was an eventful trip even though it was short.
On a different note, I can’t believe how fast the semester is flying. It’s already the middle of March and final exams start in a little over a month! It doesn’t seem possible. I’m really excited though because my clinical rotations begin March 28th for Nursing. We do them once a week from 6:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and have to make plans of care for the patients with whom we come in to contact. I’ll be doing these rotations at the Montgomery County Nursing Home, here in town. My first choice was the local hospital, because for some reason I was somewhat apprehensive about going to a nursing home. However, I think it is going to be a very rewarding experience and there is a good chance I will get to know my patients better than I would have if I had been with those that are in the hospital. Overall, I’m excited, but a little nervous, not knowing what to expect and being afraid I’ll mess up somehow, but I know it’ll all work out just fine. If anyone is thinking about attending APSU (or any other school for that matter) and wants to know more about the Nursing program, feel free to ask me.
Until later.
