Awesome!!

As is tradition for ETSU's college of nursing, each graduating class has a large framed set of photos of all the students. One of my nursing school buds took a pic of our class' wall of fame pic:

Christmas cantata

Sunday I got the pleasure of seeing my brother George, sis Angie, nephew Cody and niece Carrigan in their church's Christmas cantata. It was AWESOME and what made it even more special was that all of our family that lives up here got to attend. Here are some pics:

Carrigan the angel and Cody the Shepperd

The church was beautiful

I'm ready!

Okay, so I am Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally over this semester....in fact, I am reeeeeeeally over ETSU.
My group and I just finished our care of communities 'final presentation' on driving safety.
Now I am waiting 2 hours to take my final so I can then go home.

I still have HESI to study for, but thank God that it isn't until Friday and I finally have the HESI book to study from.
*Amy's version of HESI*: Horrible Evil Shitty and Insane

Pardon the french, but this stupid test is what could keep me from graduating. It's suppose to help us see how well we would do on boards, even though half the crap that is on it is not going to be on boards.

Anyhow, I am going to get off of here so I can study for my final since I have 2 hours to kill.

Getting things in order



As of now, I officially have 3 classes left at ETSU


I still have quite a bit of 'busy work' to do, not to mention clinical.

After Monday I will have 184 clinical hours which will leave 56 hours. I believe my last clinical day will be November 23rd (whooo hoooo!)
As for busy work I still have to finish my management learning contract, write a proposal on performance improvement for the hospital unit, a reflection of my clinical experience and finally a paper on the unit meeting I attended.

As for my community nursing class, my group and I have to present our community education project at a local high school on driving safety next wednesday. We still have a little bit of information to iron out before the presentation but I have a feeling we will do well.
We also have a take home final exam *which is awesome!* and I believe that is all we have to do in that class.


Last but not least I still have to pass the HESI next Friday the 14th.


After all of this is finished...THEN all I have to do is get my diploma!!!

Quick post


Ahhh, one of my favorite artists, Brenna White, just did this new piece for Halloween.
Isn't it cool?!! She is great with watercolor and pen.


Here is how this week looks:

Tuesday: work 7a-7p

Wednesday: school 12:30-5:00

Thursday:Clinical 7a-7p

Friday: EGD at surgeon's office

Saturday: work 7a-7p


So far so good! I know I cannot stop saying this, but I LOVE my new job in Med/Surg. I really feel as though I've found my nitch. It's funny because Mom is a Cardiac Nurse, Geoff will be a Cardiac Nurse and I like Med/Surg and O.B. (funny how genetics works isn't it??)


On another awesome note, it snowed a little yesterday! I cannot remember the last time it snowed in October! Like the cold weather freak that I am, I walked around in the 30 degree weather on my lunch break in my scrub pants and t-shirt. *happy sigh*


Anyhow, just wanted to update.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!
