Blog Name Change

I have changed my blog name. I have changed it to "Critical Pathways."

Why? Well, for several reasons.

1) We are to use Critical Pathways to develop our thinking process. Grouping, clustering, etc. Making lovely flow charts like this:



The process cannot end before the critical pathway ends.

That is my life at the moment. The process is nursing school. The critical pathway is long and winding and difficult. But I must make it through all aspects of the pathway to complete the process of nursing school. End result....New Career.

2) Knitting.......not happening much, lately. Even with breaks. Because the heat is horrendous (91 in the morning?!?!?!), and I can't stand to have anything touching me that is not neccessary. Even cotton. So, until my break in December...no knitting. (Thank you Secret Pal. You have given me lots of supplies to have a very merry holiday break!)

3) I felt that since there is definitely a lack of knitting around here, and much more nursing processes, that I should take myself out of the knitting blog circuit. Because it isn't. It's really a blog about nursing school. Just not as eloquent or entertaining as Student Nurse .

My "break" is officially over. I spent half the day yesterday doing my CPR/BLS recertification. Tonight, study. Tomorrow night, study. Wednesday, test. Thursday, pharmacology. Saturday, clinicals. Just like old times.

Actually, I have decided, I almost wish that we did not have a month off. It only makes it that much harder to get back into the groove of school, getting up at 5:00 AM on Saturday mornings, study, study, study. A whole month off makes a nursing student very spoiled and lazy. 2 weeks off is much more manageable.

I now have 1 year left to go. Next semester: OB, Peds, Community health. Summer: Psych. Next Fall: Advanced Med/Surg. Then 6 weeks of Leadership, and I am done. Finished. Complete. My heart leaps just thinking about it.
