Well, I just picked up today's mail and no letter yet from the Nursing Program. I will hear from them by May 1st, so it is only a matter of days. Cross fingers! I am so impatient that I want to know NOW. It is painful waiting but I guess it is good practice! :)
This morning, I had my first clinical shift at a local nursing home. We had to be there by 5:45am. It was a long morning. Some moments were sad, some were tedious. Some of the residents were absolutely darling. My favorite part of the day was petting the resident cat Izzy who is very obese and meows for love frequently. My worst mistake was feeding a guy before he had his dentures put in. Opps! I felt bad about that but he didn't want his dentures but that is a whole other story! There are also two bunnys in one of the courtyards and several residents had birds. I love that there are animals there as I think animals are great therapy and an antidote to depression. There were highs and lows but I am glad the first day is under wraps. I slept so poorly last night as I was nervous about hearing my alarm. I am looking forward to nap time today! Tomorrow and Sunday I have 6am to noon shifts and then again in two weeks I have Fri, Sat, Sun 6am to noon. The weekend right before finals. Not great timing!
Less than three weeks to go before the semester is over! Yippee. I can't wait for summer vacation. I am definitely ready for some down time.
