A Little Update

I know that it's hard to believe I'm posting again. I just thought I'd share a little update. I am doing my practicum at Boundary Trails Health Centre. I have been there a week, and so far I love it! I am getting used to being back up on the ward, and it feels really good. The nervousness has left for the most part, and now I'm just excited for these next few months. Tonight is my first night shift, so there is still a little nervous energy left ;)

On another note, I definitely enjoyed the weather that we were having before Christmas. I could easily do without temperatures of -30 and -41 with windchill. That is just not fun for me in any way. Oh well...so it goes!

It's Been a While

There are so many things that have happened since my last blog post! Let me try and bring you up to speed.

-My university went on strike. For 50 days. Long story short, all worked out and I still will graduate on time this year. Yay!

-My sister, brother in law, and niece left today after being here for 15 days. It was an absolutely wonderful 2 weeks, and I had so much fun with my niece :)

-I start my senior practicum this coming Wednesday. It'll be an interesting experience that I am looking forward to. It will be neat to become more independent and learn how to practice as an independent nurse. I have 450 clinical hours (3 months) of this clinical experience, and then I am finished! My last day is March 30, and then I can apply for grad nurse status. Once that paperwork goes through, I can work as a grad nurse.

I hope that you had a very Merry Christmas, and I wish you all a Happy New Year!
