My first job as an LNA at 18 years old, hazed the heck out of me! I would drive home crying and call my mom about how horribly they treated me. Now in nursing school she will say things along the lines of don’t be a Robin, the nurse who would time stamp my 300+ patient on an airmatress who could not help roll herself at all and no one would help me with her and my tiny 18 year old self would be killing myself to try and keep that woman dry! But it really did show me who I don’t want to be as a co-worker, nurse, supervisor, etc..
I think doing this program as a second or third try is good for us though. It isn’t all brand new information and it makes it a little easier to digest. We will BOTH get through this, as a small cohort we can make sure we all get through this program!
I think you would be amazing in management down the road, you’re so easy to talk to and so helpful! I can’t wait to watch where we all end up, and building your life with your husband will be amazing. I’m so happy for you and where you can end up!
A vacation sounds awesome! Ha, we will ALL need one. We’re similar in our love for psych, you would be an amazing psych nurse! However, you should follow your gut, do it while your young so you don’t have to live your life looking back thinking what if? Psych you can get into at anytime/age but I feel like military stuff is better to do when youre young?
Hi Pumi! Thank you for posting. You brought up some great points. I like the way you talked about cleaning rooms and equipment.
Hi Melanie! I completely agree, it is such a key element. The speed at which healthcare as a whole worked during the height of the pandemic is crazy to think about! We changed the whole world in what felt like overnight!
Hi Ava! I agree with Melanie, that’s a great way to remember the difference between the two! Measurable data is great but I like having the “story” with the research too, otherwise I start to go cross eyed and everything looks the same HAHA.
Hi Marie! I love how you described quantitative research. It’s exact but still manipulable! I totall agree on the lack of context as well.
Your idea of the perfects versus the uglies is literally a movie (based on a book series), which is gene editing when you hit 18. LOL movie writers come up with everything these days! It’s such a tricky can of worms because we can always say it’s only for disease and mothers who can’t carry a child, and then all the exceptions come in. A movie star is filming a movie, so she can’t carry a child. A famous politician doesn’t want to risk his child having the recessive genes and not looking like him. The rules don’t apply the same way to everyone, unfortunately.
When you said “Although I think that if we continued with gene editing, have a natural family would become unappealing.” I instantly thought of every sci-fi movie about divides created in natuaral and artificial combined worlds. That thought ever crossed my mind. This could lead to so many other issues down the line!
Thank you for sharing, Pumi! It is always so intriguing to me to hear about the upbringing and culture in other countries. I always find you to be so respectful, and you do greet all of us when you come into class or as we enter. It makes me feel seen, and I appreciate that. Isn’t it funny how certain things like greeting strangers was instilled in us as children but we wouldn’t dare teach that to our kids nowadays?
Thank you for sharing! I grew up in a town very similar, and as I grew up, I started to see and understand the drug problems. I also never wanted to get stuck in that. Pretty much, if you don’t get out right after high school, then you never will. That was my fear. It took me a little longer, but thank goodness I did it! I’m glad we were both able to fight it and come out on top!
I think you made a great point about the internet being both helpful and harmful to writers. Like you, I agree with Doctorow’s view that it can influence creativity in positive ways. It’s interesting how exposure to different styles and ideas can help us grow, yet also risk making our writing less original. Finding that balance is key to maintaining our unique voice. Overall, your reflection shows a thoughtful understanding of how the internet impacts creativity.
You make a great point about how the internet can be distracting and even overwhelming when trying to write. I agree that writing is an art form, and tapping into your own thoughts often leads to more original and meaningful work. At the same time, I think the internet can be a useful tool if used with intention and boundaries. It’s all about finding the right balance between inspiration and distraction. Everyone’s creative process is different, so what works for one person might not work for another.
I like the visual of throwing away the junk words! It will help us remember the concept. I find that when I’m in stressful situations, people add so many junk words to the situation. I end up cutting them off and saying something along the lines of, “Just give me the question.” If you want me to solve something, then give me the problem, not the back story.
