De-stresss

After yet another sleepless nights and endless studying. I’m glad our patho, med surg and peds exams are over…for that week. After our peds exams. I took a break, as we all should do after taking exams after exams! I like to de-stress and relax by catching up on some sleep, watching a movie on Netflix, do a little pampering. And lets not forget about retail therapy, which I’m sure we are all guilty of! Another way I like to de-stress is by running or working out. I also like to eat Nutella (after a workout)! We all know that nursing school is very stressful, but we need to find our own different ways to lower our stress!

Im totally with you on this, i believe taking breaks and de stressing are very important for us. It helps our minds focus on whats important rather than all the gray matter in between. I love retail therapy esp when you've had a bad day, or even to treat yourself for doing well on an exam. I also love working out and i think thats the best de stressor for me!

Graduation is on my mindd

I feel like I blinked my eyes and this semester is over. In just 4 short weeks we will have completed out second semester of nursing school. It almost doesn’t seem real how fast its going. Its frightening yet so exciting that we will be real life nurses so soon!! This semester has for sure pushed me to my limits but it has been so rewarding. I’m trying to be positive in every way possible but sometimes it just feels like the hardest thing to do. Trying to manage school, my own health, friends, family, personal time ect is not an easy thing! Some weeks are easier than others but I just keep reminding myself that in the end it will be all worth it!!

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.

Clinical vibes.

Clinical days are about learning and trying to understand the physical aspect of nursing. Sometimes it can be scary because we do not know what we’re going to get into that day, or it can be very rewarding. I am lucky to say that during both of my clinical sites i have made good friends/peers to help me through it. It is nice to learn from each other. I can say that i learned a lot from my peers and i’m glad that i have such great clinical groups.

Last Exam for this week

Alright guys, if we made it through last week we can definitely make it through one more exam! Keep reviewing and don’t forget to take breaks in between. You don’t want to burn out on test day! Relax your minds because we have studied for this! Good luck everyone! EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY. #DiositoPrimeroAlways

We definitively need those breaks in between studying!! they're so helpful for us to retain the information better. It makes studying more enjoyable when you know your break is coming up, plus we can snack away!! Everything will be okay and we just have to keep pushing because we can do this!

Nursing Student Blog

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!!

middle of the semester!

It has been a bumpy beginning of the semester with exams being back to back and the constant feeling of never having enough time to study. It is very overwhelming if i must say...but the only thing to get accomplish is to pass!!!! Taking one day at a time.

Wow! The semester is slowly but surely coming to a end. Things are picking up fast from assignments that are due, test to prepare for and picking out classes for summer and fall semester. I’ve found myself spending basically all of my free time doing this…Studying😫 I will admit, things are getting a bit overwhelming and I feel as though I am in way over my head however Im still trying to move along day by day! I know that all of my hard work will be all worth it in the end…can’t wait to see the light at the end of the tunnel wish me luck on my exams next week I need it😅

first experience at a clinical site!

i got into nursing with no experience in the hospital or at any medical facility. i immediately fell in love with the aspect of nursing when i finished my first weekend at two different clinical sites. it was such a pleasure to be there with my classmates. at first it felt like we were not wanted, but once we made it known to them that we weren't going anywhere, everything started to work out. its quite a nerve wrecking feeling when you feel unwanted but you overcome that when you realize you're there to help. overall, every weekend is exciting because its a different experience every time!

First semester of nursing school down...

Wow, the first semester of nursing school is down and only four more to go! It does not sound so bad when you say it out loud. But sheesh, the nerves i had throughout this fall semester was crazy! I am proud to say i did very well and i am happy of my results. I learned how to manage my time, sleep, eat, gym, and study dates all in a 24 hour day. I came into this program thinking i would hate having night classes but i’m actually really happy about it. I guess you cannot knock it until you try. I’m glad i chose widener because i made some great friends already, friends who text me everyday to remind me “We got this!”. Its nice to be in a program where everyone wants the same thing. We all have similarities and differences but in the end of the day we’re all here to help each other. I’m excited to see what else is in store for us! Cheers to this amazing journey with great peers.
