No class until Monday! And then no GOING to class for a month; two online courses for May Interim.
*Exceptionally happy at the moment.
In a couple weeks I may be depressed from not seeing my nursing buddies, but today I am super happy to be downloading wonderful World music, drinking Diet Mr Dew, and re-polishing my "now-that-I'm-a-nurse" resume.
I've had a low-lying headache for the last 3 days (I get one every month, mid-month.) I wouldn't categorize it as migraine, because I get those, too, complete with photophobia and phonophobia (light & sound sensitivity) for you non-medical types put there. But lasting headache it is, and Imitrex (migraine med) usually fixes it. It just exhausts me to take it. Yay for days off!
I have an appointment with the Dean o' Masters level nursing at my local university tomorrow. I really want to go straight through to grad school. To be completely honest, I want to do the very minimum of beside nursing possible. (subject to change this summer...when I actually get to act like a nurse instead of a patient care tech. PCTs are fab in their own right, but that's another post. ;-)
I could totally do clinic nursing, though...I'd love that as an RN. But what I *really* want to be is an advanced practice nurse...& I'm seeing Dr. Schmidt to figure out if it would be best for me to be a Nurse Practitioner or a Clinical Nurse Specialist.
See my next post for an examination of the two roles. :-)
