So for my Into to Nursing Course I have to interview some people on values, so I'm interviewing Melissa and Maren. I came up with some pretty great questions (if I do say so myself) and I'm looking forward to going through them tonight. They're pretty general questions, mixed with a few controversial topics, and I can't wait to hear what others have to say!
Who knew school could be enjoyable? lol
Not enjoyable: Teaching yourself anatomy and physiology. It's weird - I thought I would enjoy that class the most - learning what everything is and what it does, but it's not. I enjoy nursing fundamentals more. Don't get me wrong - I'm happy to learn it, but the text is so dry, and the material so vast, it's a little daunting, and has become more stressful than enjoyable.
I stopped in to NSCC today and talked to my Instructor, and she said a lot of people in the class are stressing over our upcoming ANAP midterm. That's all fine and stuff, but I'm on the verge of panic - not stress. Argh.
I'm really looking forward to our Nursing Skills Lab after Christmas. I think it should be fun. I get to be in scrubs (and white shoes) and do some hands on nurses learning. Should be great!
I interviewed at Eastlink today. I don't think it's my cup of tea, but they want to hire me. If NSPower gets to me first, they can have me. Either way, I won't be unemployed for more than a couple of weeks now. Also, I saw a couple of military contracts open up, so that's grabbed my attention. A regular nice paycheck would be great to have again!
Wondering if the Halifax girls and I are planning to exchange gifts again this year? I saw something in a store the other day that made me want to buy it for one of them. Hmmm..... We should chat about that!
I'm getting the Christmas twitch. I want to do some shopping soon. We aren't doing much this year though - our families will be getting our engagement photo. But there's kids to shop for this year, and Travis, Tasha and Tycho (Adam's brother, wife and son) will be here - so that should be wonderful. Plus - I'll have my very own Christmas tree this year! So exciting!
I have my consultation for my hair on Friday. I'm so excited. I've been looking at every woman I see on the street, trying to think of hairstyles that will be possible for me now. It's so exciting!
Well - need to eat before I interview peeps in half an hour.
