THE
TITLE SAYS IT ALL!! Last week, I finished my very first semester of Nursing
school. I am still in disbelief that it has gone by so fast. Seems like
yesterday, I was just attending the nursing orientation with 120 strangers.
BUT, it’s over. My peers and I have finished all of our check-offs for the
requirement. Those have got to be one of the most stressful things to do; not
because of every step needed to be memorized but more of the fact that we were
given only two tries to do it. I know couple peers from the past who were held
back because of these check offs. Although I was nervous beyond anything, I
told myself that everything was okay. These check offs are there to ensure that
the future nurses know what they are doing, not to fail people purposely.
Honestly, who wants to have an incompetent nurse taking care of them? I wouldn’t!
