Today was my last day of practicum. I was hoping to make it through the day without any tears...and luckily I did :) I under estimated myself on this one. I have had such a GREAT time in the ICU & have learned so much. I am going to miss all the nurses...they have all been VERY helpful & friendly :) I am definitely going to miss my preceptor!!! We had a pizza party for lunch because it was my last day. I thought I was going to be the first student ever to graduate nursing school & never start an IV...but my preceptor pulled through...she let me start one on her! I was so excited that I got it the FIRST time!!!! I know there will be many more IV's to start in the coming months!!!!
I was glad to get home to the kiddo's even though they came straight home & went to bed. They will be so excited when all this is over & we can do the "normal" things again. Spencer LOVES to play Pictureka every night & we have had to put that on hold the last couple of nights. Family game night on the Wii has been moved to the back burner the last couple of weeks too! We will all just be glad when this is over & things can go back to normal.
Normal....really what is that? I am not sure I can even remember what normal is anymore. Nursing school has been my LIFE for the last 2 years & before that I took general education classes for 3 years. I have been a college student for 5 years. What will I do with myself after graduation??? When I started college I had just went through a divorce (maybe someday I will blog about that point in my life....maybe...maybe not...we will see) anyways all my divorced life I have been a college student. So all this will be new to me once I graduate.
The kids are all tucked into bed & I think my bed is calling my name. I have a LONG, HARD day of studying for FINALS tomorrow. FINALS....now that is a "dirty" word. I'm sure there will be plenty of blogging on this subject in the next 4 days.
