I guess a meaningful jot I could put in here is…..
Its crazy how this semester is almost over. Sucks that I had to repeat
it, but kicks ass that I repeated it with much better people that have
helped me in ways they can’t even imagine. I’ve gained so much more out
of this semester than I have from many other moments in my life.
Plus…..a perspective into the profession that I willingly dedicate my
entire life to. A perspective that had been realized and strengthened
when my father passed, but strengthened even more so. More so to the
point that becoming a nurse brings tears to my eyes. Not tears of
fearing that I will, one day, be responsible for keeping up the best
care/well-being/and maintaining the life of an individual whom I’ve
NEVER met, but tears of joy that I will be blessed to perform such a
duty.
The thought of becoming a nurse overjoys me. As cliche as that may
sound, because I’m sure many students put up this type of
testimony…but if you really know me and understood everything I’ve
been through you’d know that each word that I utter about nursing comes
straight from my heart and the very depth of my soul.
Nursing is NO bullshit matter and people really need to understand its
not just some job you take because you know there will always be a job
there. If you are even remotely thinking about getting into this
profession please realize this:
**DO NOT go into your patients
room and huff and puff cuz he/she keeps shitting everywhere–ITS YOUR
JOB to put up with days like this
**DO NOT look at your patients as just another paycheck and just another day of work to get through!!
**DO look at each patient as an
individual that could very much be your
mother/father/sister/brother/spouse and care for them as you would your
loved one
**DO everything in your power to
give the uttmost BEST care possible and go home after each shift and
feel 100% fulfilled with yourself because you did a KICK ASS job
**DO realize that eventually,
that will be you in that hospital bed only hoping that those
responsible for your care would look at you & care for you with
nothing but respect
I want
this more than anything!! I’ve sacrificed time with my family. Time
that is PRICELESS, hours and hours and hours of nonstop studying.
HYPERTENSION and the brink of numerous times of nervous
breakdowns/anxiety attacks. I am not even bullshittin’!! This is the
real deal.
I get sick of dumb motherfuckers that get into nursing for the money!!
That say they care but they could give less of a shit. I get tired of
motherfuckers that would rather boss they’re PCTs around to wipe ass
because its they’re job!!
That has got to be the biggest bullshit excuse I’ve ever heard!! I am a
PCT motherfucker….first & foremost that is where I started. I
know what its like to have a full load of patients that you have to
turn EVERY 2 HRS because they can no longer do it!! I know what its
like to clean shit on a daily basis. But sooooo what!! The dirty part
of the job is nothing compared to seeing the look on my patients’ faces
after I’ve taken care of them to the best of my ability. To say
good-bye at the end of my shift and hear them say thank you. Now that
motherfuckers……is PRICELESS!!
this semester has been full of ups & downs…AS USUAL!
But thats just life for yah, isn’t it?
At least the semester is almost over and I’ll be back to working
nonstop. Hopefully I’ll be able to pull 16 hr shifts like I did before.
The BEST thing ever is that my nurse EXTERNSHIP is all lined up, ready,
and waiting for me to hop on. I just gotta finish up the last 2 tests
for this semester and one last day of clinical and THATS IT!!
Externship here I COME!! A $3.00 raise HERE I COME!! I still gotta post
all my pictures, but thats gonna have to wait till I get done with
everything. There’s barely anybody that really updates xanga anymore,
just to put eye candy up and thats bout it. I know I’m prolly one of
those people though. So……I’m a big ass hypocrite. Eh….WHATEVER!!
Got no time to put anything meaningful up so………..till the semester is over…………..HIATUS!!
