Term II is busier then ever, but it is also more exciting then any other term so far!
As a nursing major, I have officially began my first clinical class and it is flying by fast. Last week we learned vital signs, and had to complete a full set between 3-5minutes! I successfully accomplished this after practicing vitals on my roommates (one of the "perks" of rooming with a nursing major)! We also learned all about mobility and positioning patients, which we will be tested on this upcoming week! It is exciting to be practicing and learning all of these techniques, because in just a few weeks, I will be in clinical with real patients and will get to use all of my skills!
I am even wearing my purple and white scrubs, just one step closer to being an actual nurse!
As for anatomy and physiology, this week we are learning about the heart! In lab on wednesday, we will be looking at real hearts of deer, cow, and bear. It will be really exciting to be able to understand how the heart works by recognizing the important parts of the heart on real models. Elmira is lucky when it comes to labs because we are able to have many resources to use to understand the various parts of the body!
For my Women in Society class, we have been focusing recently on personal activism projects that highlight issues related to women. For my project, I am going to design a blog that will be highly weekly issues regarding current events that involve women in society. Once the blog is up and running and is made aware to the current campus via facebook and flyers, I will be able to post the link here so prospective students can see some of the projects students are working on and fully understand what we learn about in Women in Society! It is always helpful to see an example of what we discuss in this class to fully understand it, and with my personal activism project, I will be able to provide this!
This term is proving to be exciting and extremely busy, but by managing my time, I am able to really focus and get all of my work completed! This coming weekend, Tap Ensemble begins auditions and tech week for our upcoming show! It should be just as much fun as last year, and with new songs and dances, will provide the audience with a show they won't forget! There will be lots of pictures to come!
Back to studying, as this week is proving to be filled with the most work so far!
