What a Wonderful Day!

Today was soooo beautiful outside it was hard to be anything but in a great mood!

I started off by getting up (almost on time) and getting ready for my last presentation as a BSN student!!!! Woot! I am loving the warm weather, so I just had to bring on the skirt which ended up being a good choice! I think my presentation went pretty well actually, although I wasn't at all excited about my project as a whole. I did hand hygiene again, like last semester only with a very different community. I would have liked to do something else, but projects are quite limited when you're working in a hospital and there are things going on, but they're already taken over by committees, etc. So the only thing that Kim gave me was to re-educate the staff on hand hygiene. So I did it, it turned out well and it really is extremely important, but it just wasn't something that I gained a lot from. But I guess it was pretty easy.

We got out of class early, which is always nice and I got to go over and see the little girls at Scholars to hang out for a bit before my clinical evaluation with Carol Daniel. It went well, as they all have and I'm feeling more and more confident in my abilities as a nurse. I also talked with her a little bit about my future plans. I'm thinking more and more about going back to get a Masters or Nurse Educator degree if I get tired of working in the hospital. I've been thinking more about the Nurse Educator thing since talking with Sara, a sophomore who's going into the nursing program, and encouraging her throughout the past year. I think that's something that I might just be good at, in the clinical setting. Who knows though...

After my evaluation, I went with my roommate Allison to Adam & Eve to pick out a Bachelorette present for her soon-to-be sister-in-law before the wedding this weekend. Let me tell you, that was different experience for both of us!! It was pretty much awkward and it was only made worse by the sales lady that insisted on telling us about the specials and sales adn checking on us and then telling us everything about the product that Allison bought...more than we needed to know!!!

Then, Emily, Rachel, and I went in search of a new park so that we could just go, get away from everything, sit in the sun and relax. It was wonderful!!! So refreshing and it was beautiful outside! I loved it and definitely think it needs to happen again!!! So overall, this was a pretty good day...with a minor event of awkwardness. :)
