Yes, I actually graduated from nursing school. Yes, somehow I passed boards. And yes, now I’m a working nurse (in training). And it’s somewhat terrifying! There is all this information and I feel like I know none of it! Do I even know how to keep a patient alive?! At this point, after a week on the floor I feel like I’m a bit in survival mode. Get my tasks done, keep my patients alive, chart, chart, chart!
I was driving in the car with David the other day and I was looking all around me and it hit me how amazing it is that we have, light poles, cars that run, planes in the air, shoes on our feet, books, t.v., on and on. How does it work? How did it come about? Who thought one day “I’ll do this and put this, this and this together” and BAMO, an automobile is made. Way back when, none of this was around. God made us with so much potential, with so much creativeness and look now at all these accomplishments. To me, it’s quite amazing, especially since I have a hard enough time putting dinner together each night.
I feel very self motivational right now but I was thinking that en-light of these thoughts, I have the potential to be a great nurse. Yes, after awhile anyone can get good at their job but I want to be better than just “good at my job” I want to be great. I don’t want to limit myself. To you reading this, don’t limit yourself! Be great, stretch yourself, do things that make you uncomfortable, grow, and create! The creator of the universe created us, in His image! Be great!
How am I going to do this? Day by day. Praying and pondering, “Lord, what have you put before me today?” Then go about doing it to my best ability, learn, grow and hopefully, enjoy the process too.
This week I start work as an RN! It’s mostly in class orientation this week and then next week on the floor with patients! It’s exciting to be starting my career in nursing.
