Today, I went to campus for what I thought would be maybe an hour or so to put together our poster for the big presentation tomorrow. Well, four hours later, it was done! Whew! I guess I underestimated just a tad. I should have realized how NOTHING for this project was easy or quick, so why would putting it all together be any different?! Oh well, it's done and now we just have to present it tomorrow. I believe all the posters will be on display and faculty and our peers will come around to evaluate and ask us questions. We also have to dress up. Awesome. I love dressing up! Especially since all my pants are super snug due to my lack of exercise and eating late and night and stress...that's a whole other blog post I may never write ;)
I think it is somewhat hitting me that the end is near. I am 100000000% excited to be finishing this program (assuming I pass my exam on Thursday! oh and get a passing grade on the crap I turned in for an ethics paper) I am feeling the stress of these last couple days of class/assignments/exam. I am also terrified of the next step...applying for jobs, rejection, interviews and actually being a nurse. I feel like I have been out of practice (aka the hospital actually taking care of patients) for too long! The next time I am in a hospital will be for a job! That is beyond terrifying! The fear of failure rears its ugly head again. I also have to just give in to the fact that I will be a nervous/anxious mess for years to come! I hate always feeling this nervous, but I guess if I wasn't nervous, that would be worse? Ok, moving on, I am stressing myself out more!
I am working on this CITI training and IRB training for this research project I am going to be apart of. It is taking forever! That is also stressing me out (shocker), I feel like i should have this training all done by now! One thing at a time and just breathe.
One week to go!!!!!!
