So I've passed my physical assessment, my MCT, and now we're in acute care at EMC. I have to say that more and more I love my career choice. Of course, there is not a day that goes by that I wonder if I should continue on to Med School. For now, I'll take things one step at a time. Finishing this semester is my immediate goal. Finishing the 2 years, passing, and graduating with my ADN is a short term goal. Going on to obtain my Bachelor's, then entering a Master's Program for Nurse Anesthesiology is my long term goal. Who knows, by then I may just decide to go into Med School.

At any rate, things are going well for this semester. I got my mid-term evaluation from my clinical instructor who told me she thought I exceed her expectations. I loved that. It actually brought things around full circle and made me feel much better. Lately I've had some struggles with my clinicals, nothing I want to get into because I believe it shouldn't be that big of a deal for me, but it is enough to cause me some stress. After mentioning that to my instructor, she had words of wisdom, words of encouragement, and well, words that essentially made me feel 100% better about my performance.

I'm looking forward to this weekend's huge game: Patriots vs Colts. I'm currently not betting on it, but I think I may be rootin' for the Colts!!
