Sitting in the Nursing hall today in TPP, I over heard some 4th semester nursing students kind of giggle and look at us in envy as my group took turns assessing Vitals Signs on each other before our "check-off" today. One of the girls turned to another and said, "remember when we were worried about getting checked off on vitals?, Wish it was still that easy." We all made some kind gesture, a few words and smiled at each other and then went back to whatever we were doing. This brief interaction made me start thinking about what lies ahead.... although Vital Signs are a pretty basic skill, its brand new to me and I need lots of practice to feel comfortably at what I'm doing. I figure as long as I study and practice doing skills over and over and over again; I can master anything...I am a firm believer in "practice makes perfect." Right before we went into lab I said goodbye to the 4th semester group and one of them turned to me and said "Although it might get harder, it gets so much cooler, you'll just need to practice and you'll get it." I smiled, said thanks and thought to myself, "Yep, I sure will get it."
Today was a great day and I am so excited to what lies ahead...
This post was very encouraging. You have a very good, positive point of view.
