nursing care plan

i was just scanning my nursing care plans for a friend from work who is now in nursing school. it's weird hearing other people's experiences in nursing school now that i am done with it. it somehow makes me wanna go back to nursing school and do all those stuff all over again, when before i couldn't wait to be over with school.

looking through those nursing care plans, all the binder that i have for all of my notes, the lectures, and papers that we did back in nursing school made me remember the times that i did them. i remember finishing a care plan, realizing that i need to include interventions that has something to do with medication and/or nutrition and just handing it as it is. i remember doing med cards during nutrition class so that nancy, horacio, juanes and i could go to cold stone after class. the sleepover at nancy's dorm room during finals night. the time when i missed the last day of lab because i stayed up all night (really!) finishing up a term paper and a handbook that would go with it. i remember having my aim on and some classmates would be sending me messages stating that they are on the same page. subnitting the project just on time and getting a great grade on it. those days when we would go to baruch library to cram seems so far away now.

nursing school has been great for me. i enjoyed each moment of it, stress and feeling such a failure included.

now, i miss making nursing care plans, i miss making those med cards - looking it up learning about it, i even miss making the patient's bed and talking with them especially the elderly... i guess nursing is it for me.

for those who are currently in nursing school good luck to you and hope that by the end of a long day in the hospital, you'd feel such great feeling knowing that you were able to help out someone and making them smile no matter how pain they could get.

those who are in the process of getting into nursing school - once you get into nursing school, don't forget to have fun. that would really help you in the long run. but of course, everything in moderation.
