This week has been great in my internship at 9 surgical west in the royal Victoria Hospital. I have learned a lot. I am loving it. I get to the unit at 7:30 sharp and the day goes on and on. I do not even feel time passing. Everyday I learn a lot and everyday I feel improvement. One of my patients is agonizing...that is bad news, however it is also rewarding to provide care and support. I am becoming a real nurse yeaaahhh!, consolidating knowledge. It is not an easy task, information overload and overwhelming feelings of inadequacy invade me at times. However suffering means true learning. I appreciate the good feedback and the bad one too. Anyways what matters is that I love it. I just love it.
