THE MEDICAL INSIDE
I believe Nursing is starting to grow on me. In the beginning you see, I was very high-strung and tense. Educators exhorted skills, proficiency, skills, and proficiency over and over. I learned there is a rationale for everything you do, and you must learn them all. Now at the end of my education, I was baffled again when they began teaching critical thinking. I thought to myself, how can you teach or school others on critical thinking? Isn't that something you either achieve or master yourself? Yet, they instructed and fatigued our minds with ethical, moral, and medical concerns and succeeded. Again, you were forced to think outside the box. 99% of nursing is thinking outside the box in case you were wondering. Which hasn't done much for my personality. Nurses are known to have the strongest guts and most vulgar conversations. Don't tempt us or ask us something you don't want to hear. We can look it up if we don't know. We have a library of 3-inch books like we do purses. So here I am, beginning my internship in the ER department, which I picked dubious in my quest for the field of nursing I want to endeavor. I believe I will fit in well there with the other tense, high-strung individuals and doctors. Wish me luck.
