So happy that two weeks of back to back exams are over! Even though some of the exams did not turn out how I would have liked, I did well overall and am happy we are almost done this semester! Everyone take a well deserved weekend break and get back in the grind Monday! #wedabest
Hey dana! I just wanted to say that I am so glad that we have met through Widener! Exams have been crazy this week but we made it through! Now back to studying again....
Pediatric Clinical
I have loved every minute of my clinical at CHOP hospital. I have learned so much and have grown as a nursing student. We have had many opportunities and have gained unforgettable memories and relationships with the staff and the patients there. I feel a lot more confident in my nursing schools and taking vital signs. I am excited to continue my clinical journey and I can't wait to see where this journey takes me!!
Studying
My life has been consumed to studying and figuring out nursing concepts. I have evolved my life around nursing school and i believe that it is important to put your 100% into something that you want. At times i do feel like i need to switch up my studying habits because i want to do better. Nursing school is so hard and i have to keep pushing myself to be the best me.Â
Hey lana! Study has been so overwhelming for me too! I have definitely realized that I have to start studying a little differently and going over more nclex style questions to help me on the tests. We will keep pushing through!! We got this!!

We got this!! @arosegranieri517
3 Things To Do in Nursing School
STOP COMPARING
Don’t do it. Don’t compare yourself to other students. That kind of mindset will set yourself up for failure - during nursing school, in your career as an RN and simply in life. No matter how smart or how awesome someone else may seem as a nursing student - that is just how they SEEM. Don’t forget that envy is one of the deadly sins. Just do not do it. Worry about YOU and only you. Also, don’t think you are any better than anyone else. This leads me to my next point.
DONT JUDGE
You are not better than anyone else. Everyone has their own personality, their own learning habits, their own faults and simply their own nursing school style.  Don’t start of your nursing career as a judging jerk. Quite frankly, if you are, you will only bring that into your career as a caddy, stuck up nurse. Most of us are female in this field - instead of following suit with what most people think about us, let’s empower each other as women in the field of nursing and build one another up no matter what.
HAVE CONFIDENCE
Lastly, have confidence. You will not be perfect at anything. You will trip up and falter. You may doubt and things may not play out just how you imagined in your mind. Though, I stress, you must BELIEVE in yourself that you have what it takes; that you can push through and make it. We’ve all been through our own struggles in life prior to nursing school and we are still here trying to attack our goal to become RNs! You know you can do it so you must believe that and have confidence that you will.

How this week went... @arosegranieri517
Stress Management
As the semester continues on, I feel a bit more pressure and stress building. I am confident in myself and my abilities, but sometimes it feels like I just can’t get ahead of the game! This week was definitely tough, two major exams back to back left for little time for anything else, including sleep and sanity. Don’t get me wrong, I love what I am learning and fully embrace it for my future as a professional, but as a student who is already busy outside of school, with a less than traditional school schedule, it can get difficult. Going to classes in the evenings and weekends already has me missing out on some things typical of students my age, and even events with my family, which can be stressful and disappointing, but small sacrifices for the end goal is where I try to keep my focus. This week just sort of knocked me down mentally and physically. I’ve been EXHAUSTED. Mind you, I ended up doing well on all of my exams, but I was slightly distracted. My mom had surgery on Tuesday morning at 6am, which had me at the hospital with her throughout the entire procedure. She is well and recovering, but my mind has been on helping her after her surgery and less on school. But, I made it through! Thankfully! Hoping I can take these next couple of days to catch up on some sleep and relax my mind with a much-needed break from studying! Ready to tackle clinical this weekend, which is an educational, but fun outlet to apply what I am learning!
I definitely agree you about the stress level!! This week especially has been exhausting, but we made it through!! Hang in there! All the sleepless nights and hard work will be worth it in the end!
Clinical Reflection
I have been in clinical for about 3 weeks now doing my pediatric rotation. I am absolutely loving it! I am getting a lot more comfortable with my vital signs and I am enjoying working with the nurses on our unit. I am excited to be able to start giving medications and hopefully be able to watch a few procedures. Everyone has been extremely nice and helpful so far and I can not wait to see what awaits me in the upcoming weeks. I know this semester is stressful but it will all be worth it in the end! hang in there class!!!!

First Day of Pediatric Clinical!
This Saturday was the start of my pediatric clinical rotation at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. I was extremely excited, yet very anxious at the same time. It all started to hit home for me as we entered the unit we would be working on and were introduced to all the other fellow nursing staff and were given our badges :) I love children so I know I am going to enjoy this experience very much. I can't wait to finally take what we have learned from the classroom and apply it to hands-on situations. I have so much to learn and I am very enthusiastic about the new experiences and opportunities that are awaiting me. Next clinical can not come soon enough! I will keep you guys updated on how things are going!!! Does anyone have any suggestions for me on the best way to be successful in the clinical setting and ways to help decrease the anxiety that comes along with it? Thanks for the support!!Â

Many roads have led me to the path I am taking at this moment. I’ve always predicted myself as someone that would help others. What better way of doing so then to be a nurse? I have been out of high school since 2012, so you can just imagine that desire and drive I have to make my dreams into reality. I have been in many programs, trying to find my way into a nursing program that was right for me. I was at a loss before I came into this program. There were many prospects for me to choose but Widener stuck out for me. The first semester at Widener blew me by surprise. I would have never thought in my life that the day would come that I’d finally be starting my career. I was very excited to start my first semester but I was also overwhelmed. I’ve taken my classes in the past that were very difficult but the classes that I had taken were no longer your average classes. These classes dealt with application more so than memorization. I think the hardest thing for me was to adjust my study styles. In a way there were still materials that we’d have to memorize but for the most part the point of the courses were to apply the information and figure out the content. In the end, I was able to adjust and change my way of thinking. It was a very good first semester and I hope the rest will be as well as the first.Â
I am so happy that I met such an amazing person!! I am so proud of all of us for where we are at in our lives! Last semester was definitely challenging but we made it through and we are still going strong!! As long as we have each other we will get through this and become great nurses!! Let the journey begin!! xoxo

Hi! My name is Alyssa and I am a current Junior in the Accelerated Nursing Program at Widener University. I have grown up in a family of hardworking nurses and wanted to follow in their footsteps, especially my mother. My decision to work in healthcare didn’t immediately have me wanting to work as a nurse, but soon after, once I began a job in the hospital, I fell in love with it!
My first semester at Widener was eye opening for what was to come as the BSN program progressed. I did really well, making the Dean’s List for the fall semester, and have been more determined than ever to do well and become an RN.Â
At home, I live with my mother, Mary, and my brother, Ronnie, and my two fur babies, Buddy and Chance. I am in a single family household, as my father passed away in April of 2011 from lung cancer. I have a boyfriend of over three years, Zachary, who is my backbone. I have the best family life and want nothing more than to give back to those who have provided for me. Outside of school I enjoy being around family and friends, travelling, and watching my Philadelphia sports teams! Can’t wait to see what this semester throws at me!
I just want to say that I could not have survived without you girl!! We made it through the first semester and we are still going strong! We go this! I can not wait until we are at gradation and can look at each other and say "finally!!". I can't wait to see where our Nursing journey takes us!!

I have always wanted to become a nurse ever since I was a little girl. I started off becoming a vet technician (nurse for animals) and I have been doing that for about 8 years. I have now decided to switch from four-legged to two-legged and begin my journey as a student nurse at Widener University. I am loving it so far and I am starting to see my dream become a reality. The first semester definitely had its hard times, but with dedication and motivation from my fellow classmates we made it through. I am now beginning my second semester where I will be starting my clinical rotation and beginning to work with real live patients. I am very excited and also nervous at the same time. I start my first clinical this Friday so wish me luck!!
