Women on the Go

-
Although I am not in clinicals quite yet, I juggle enough to make myself feel frazzled sometimes. So while I go through my days having a crazy and hectic mindset, I keep a go bag on me. I have learned on what to keep and what not to keep, and I'd love to share that with you all!

I currently carry a bag by thirty-one that has a bunch of pockets and enough room for project equipment and personal items. While this isn't the pattern this is the basic nature of what the bag looks like:

You can purchase this at: Thirty One Totes


Instead of keeping 99 cent deodorant, that is a travel size, think of keeping a spray deodorant! It won't melt in your bag, it can double as a perfume, and won't stain clothing after sweating. Check out dove! 
Another thing that IS 99 cents that you can keep in your bag is lint rollers! They're helpful and smaller ones can be super powerful. While on this go this can be a helpful item to keep with you. 

I'm still learning, but these three items have helped me be prepped for some untimely situations! I'll keep you all updated!

Exploring Resources - Top 3 Beginning Nursing Study Tools

-
Being a nursing student, it's easy to get your head stuck in a book and forget everything that is offered to us. We are lucky, in the sense that many people understand the struggles that we are going through, and are eager to provide practice tests, etc. Being in the beginning of my program I think it might be a good place to start talking about the resources thus far, in-case you're beginning too. Being able to chuck up resources over time might help you choose what might fit you best. 1. National Council of State Board Nursing This is a great resource, and in fact, I figured out recently that this is the organization that creates the NCLEX! This is definitely a resource worth looking into   2.  NurseMiMiii This is a great blog to get another perspective on nursing school, she goes to my school & is a lot farther along than I am. Check it out!  3.  Nursing Resouces Here you can gather a better understanding of everything that is offered in diffe...

Fear Is Good in Nursing School

Test anxiety, social determinants, and other obstacles stand in our way every day. Throughout many of these blog posts there tends to be a theme of self-inflicted obstacles, and through today's Health & Wellness course there was more great advice given to tie to that theme. Today we discuss success tips, positives learned from the class, things that needed to change, and self-reflection. I mentioned my rising testing anxiety and my Professor gave amazing advice. Fear is good, and doing things scared is something that creates success. Going back to a previous blog post, "magic happens in the extremes" is something that supports her words of wisdom. She always has a quote on the board, and today's is something that was referenced... "What you speak will manifest. What you think will consume you. What you do will change the world!" -Dr. Sylette DeBois If I continue saying that I have horrible testing anxiety, it will consume me creating more issues fo...

Finding Success in Nursing School

-
Wise words said by that of my Health & Wellness Professor, and something that many in all fields should abide by: "Level Up!" Within our last lecture date, we discussed something that some brush over, the motivation and moral integrity that couples with achieving your goals. When thinking of individuals who we think of as "successful", there's a serious schema behind what they encompass. So why don't we try to mimic it? Through our discussion, we began to understand the importance of social identity theory. While it might be easy for us to encapsulate the simple characteristics of their behavior- that led to their success, who we identify as can be our biggest obstacle. In simpler terms, the 'us vs them' mentality can create a large roadblock in our own minds, making ourselves our biggest challenge. My Professor's main point to bring up the quote - Level Up! - was not to challenge us to a point of extreme stress, it was for us to over...
