I got the neatest thing yesterday. I needed a good bag to carry all my nursing equipment/books/badges/etc. in for clinical days. Here's what I got...



It has lots of compartments, and pockets. And I love that it does not say "I heart nursing" or some other such bunk. Not that I don't heart nursing. It's just that I am a wee bit superstitous. I refuse to buy anything that says "Look at me, I'm a nurse" until I actually am one. Taffords has a Nursing School Survivor t-shirt that my best friend and I are going to get when we hit our last semester.

I can't believe I have been in this program for a whole year already. Sometimes, I feel I have learned so much, and then other times I still feel clueless. While I "get" what I am being taught, I can't remember every little fact about everything I read. It's a bit frightening, really.

I have a couple of friends that just spout off stuff, and I feel like a dummy. And then in class there is this guy who CONSTANTLY interject while the teacher is lecturing. Sometimes, he gets it right, but most of the time, whatever information he spews out is wrong. And I just wish he would be quiet from time to time so that we can have a moment to filter all the information in our brain to come up with the correct answer. It's highly frustrating.

I am back to studying again at full throttle for the mid-term that we will be having on our first day of class next Wednesday. My textbook is a veritable rainbow of highlighters.
