“Good morning reader! My name is Camile and I will be you student nurse for today.”

Okay, done with my introduction, and now I shall tell my tale!

Yesterday, I had the thought of making this blog, and I did, so, HOLA! I even had my first entry for the day, but i accidentally pressed something and voila! Everything’s gone. This mac is not very user friendly (for me, at least). 

On to the reason. I realized that the one person I talk to about my day before, is now out of my life. So now I really have no one to talk to about my exciting day…more so, my nursing career. Hence, the blog. 

Yesterday, we had a seminar with Professor R (can’t really expose their real names in here, but we can always talk about ME) and it was like a splash of cool water…so refreshing! Okay, maybe that’s not the right term, but oh well, it’s my day. Anyway, it’s been a month since we first started in the program. To be exact, we started on August 15, so  that makes—a month and 6 days. I was on the third group for Summer class so I started on the third week of August (isn’t that cool? August 1 was a monday, so if we do the math—Aug 15 falls on the third monday!hahaha).

In the beginning of the semester, I still had doubts about everything I was doing. I know, it was cool being accepted in the program, but questions like these still linger in my head: “Is nursing really for me? Am I really gonna be able to wake up every morning and tell myself it’s going to be a great day? Do I even have the qualities of a good nurse? What if I can’t finish the program? What if I quit in the middle of it? What if it gets really tough? Will I get going?” So you see, my mind was a clutter. And by the beginning of the Fall semester, my mind was full of crap waiting to be unloaded.

Fast forward to today, I’m feeling a little better! Thanks to my favorite Professor R, I’m not that shaky anymore. Prof R2 (my other professor), was talking about how we [ladies] are naturally caring. And that one reason we got into this profession/career was because we had it in us, and she even mentioned the SAME QUESTIONS i had in my head. She unknowingly answered my questions and relieved my doubts. I know that I would have to work hard in order to graduate, and I will do what I can to be as great as Florence Nightingale. Well, I may not reach the same level of success she had, but at least, I want to have the same great passion she has in caring for people. I know it’s cliche, but I really want to make a difference in this world. Or maybe just in this planet, or even if it’s only the community I belong to. Someday, i dream of being a part of medical missions around the globe. But for now, I’m going to study Perception I and RON (Role of the Nurse) for my Lecture Exam on Friday. Wish me luck! :)
