Lab & Clinicals .... I'm ready!

Jell'o Everyone!!! So I am finally ready for labs & clinicals! Yay me. Who would of thought that this too was a process? Well, apparently not me. In most nursing school you have to be compliant ready. There's a list of vaccinations and health requirements you have to meet that makes you compliant. It can be a process. It would be awesome if the entire US had one location for records. It would be easier to get immunization records. That's my complaining for the day, lol. Like I said, there's a list of things I had to get done: documents signed from my physician, vaccinations, physical etc. These things are to be able to sit in class period.

I enjoy these things. I find all of this very interesting. Our bodies are so complex. It's very cool to see how one thing can affect something else. To see how things tie in with others. There's so much to learn but I'm definitely on my way. I'M A NURSING STUDENT!!!! I have to keep reminding myself of that...
