Well I jumped feet first into this new semester and I will already be starting clinical next Tuesday! I am in Adult Health/medical surgical so I am looking forward to a new set of challenges. I know how to do a lot more now then I did last semester so I think I'll be able to be more hands on....which would be great. I am pretty sure I will get a chance to insert a catheter this semester and that makes me nervous, but very excited all at the same time. Truly nursing school is one of the hardest things I have ever done....it really kicks my butt sometimes but I LOVE IT! I love that I am working towards a profession where I can literally be the hands and feet of THE Great Physician. What an honor! 4 more semesters not counting the one I'm in and all this hard work will culminate in a degree....then a HUGE party....and then a job that I will love! I found a poem that I loved and thought I would share it!
A Nursing Students Prayer
Thank you Lord, for helping me through
The hours of study and training I'll do.
Give me a keen mind and healthy body, too,
So a nurse's career I can pursue.
Thank you for placing in my heart
Compassion for other to impart.
May my hand be instruments of love
As I seek your wisdom from above.
Guard my thoughts and my tongue,
So words of encouragement are sung.
Give me strength wherever you lead
As I lean on you for my every need.
May nursing never be just a job that I do,
So lives I touch will be a ministry from you.
Help me submit to the Great Physician's commands,
As I remember life and death are in your hands.
And through it all, may I learn and grow,
For these lessons of life I need to know.
Lord help me be persevering too,
And give me courage as only you can do.
Lord, please keep me from all harm
For I know I'm safe in your sheltering arm.
And Lord how I pray you and others will see,
The kind of nurse you'd have me to be.
