"Ready for practice"

Oh my....can't believe end of semester is here. Today I completed my last shift in the ER for clinicals. Wow! So many things I have learned and so many things I have seen and done..... I feel that I could write posts and posts, but really I am not that good of a story teller. Besides it would be violating several laws to give you many details anyway. My preceptor this semester has made all the difference. I have been challenged and at the same time been encouraged and mentored. This semester has been a steep learning curve in the right direction.

I received unbelieveable marks on my professional patient final. I don't think I have EVER scored that high on a test (at least in Grad school for sure! Ha). I was in shock. What a turn around from last semester if you remember. Looking at the grade my only question was "Are you sure this is correct?" Reading further I saw the comment written at the bottom of the page "Ready for practice". Once again my only question..."are you sure?!"

I do have one more final to take next week and then I get to "graduate". (Walk across a stage and not shake anyone's hand to keep me swine flu free. WSU is ridiculous and we call ourselves educated health professionals!) My graduation will be kept simple in the comforts of my home to REALLY keep me safe from any possible swine flu. Family, food, and friends sounds like a better time to me anyway!!!
