First steps of a NURSE in the making.

FINALLY. SPACE. What two weeks of HELL I have been in, yet it's still the easy part of the journey. :)

I have finally received the prize of a year's worth of late night studying and the oh-so-popular fifteen-minute cramming sessions (which actually work, for the first two hours and then I forgot all about it. HAHA. ). Yes, on the 9th day of June 2009, I got what I always dreamed of; the first step to my ladder of success: my CAP. Thank you VELEZ COLLEGE. It was one of the greatest days of my life yet it also marked the beginning of pages full of OPT's, Reports and tons of STUDY LOAD. That's NURSING for you. BUT I will try my very best although it pains me to just think of my situation-to-be.


The classes that start at early morning until late afternoon never cease to end. GAAAAAWD. Can I least have a break? COMPLAINING will get me nowhere. But atleast I can let it out, it's the least I can do.

For the 1st month of RLE's (RELATED LEARNING EXPERIENCES), I was assigned to the CENTRAL SUPPLY DEPARTMENT. Oh yes, what could that be? I too, was wondering what could a nursing student possibly accomplish in such a place. Only to find out that for the three days of my RLE EXPERIENCE, I was to make cotton balls and pledgets for FOUR-FREAKING HOURS! Trust me, I'm a PRO. I can even pack 20 cotton balls in one sheet of paper without using tape to secure its closed. HAHAHA.

Still, I'm excited and looking forward to next week's RLE: the DIETARY DEPARTMENT.

FOOD. FOOD. FOOD.

Here I am, looking at the first steps I took and looking forward to another step on the ladder of success. The rest is not yet to come, only the BEST. :)

Good luck to me. :)
