Today I got my uniforms for nursing school!!!
They are a lovely eggplant purple color, and the pants are not super flattering but as nursing student Kaitlin ( that's me in my scrubs) said to me thru the mirror, "It's not a fashion show, we're here to save lives!!!"
I also got my nursing tools today, a stethoscope, and forsnips and such. I walked around the house with my stethoscope around my neck (just like the real nurses do) and I tried to listen to Sheldon's heart beat but unfortunately he wasn't a very cooperative patient!!!
When Ryan came home I showed him my scrubs and listened to his heart and then showed him how to use the stethoscope!!! Which is a major accomplishment if you read an earlier blog post from my A&P class where I struggled with that!!!!Then I made up weird little scenarios about what might happen when I start working in the hospital, most of these were based on things seen on television and may or may not have any actual reality associated with them! HAHAHA!!!
I think it's safe to say I'm pretty excited about starting my nursing studies! I know that it's going to be hard, every person I talk to about it tells me how hard it is!!! But I know that it will also be rewarding. I will just have to try and remember how excited I am right now when things are hard on down the road!
