Prepare for Transition

As we get closer to the end of nursing school it is nice to begin to look forwards to the next chapter of my life. I am most excited to be able to finally start practicing and use the knowledge we’ve spent so much time learning. While it is exciting to start that new chapter in our lives, it is definitely making me very anxious. The idea that I will be practicing as a nurse on my own and not with an instructor still hasn’t fully hit me yet. As I finish up the school year, I hope to celebrate with friends and family. They know how hard every one of us has worked the last four years hopefully making for a fun celebration.

 

With this being our last semester, it may be hard to maintain focus and stay on track. To make sure I do that I plan out my time. I plan to go through the syllabus for each class to make sure I can plan out the work for my week. Going week by week will help me be able to keep track of what needs to get done so I don’t miss any assignments. My goal for the semester is to make sure I don’t turn in assignments late. The nurse logic 2.0 modules will help me get ready for the NCLEX by giving us some good ideas on how to really use and apply the clinical knowledge and reasoning that we have been building on for the last two years. As well as making sure to go over really focus on priorities. Overall this semester is a very exciting time for us as students, the need to stay focused and on track is an all time high.
