SURVIVOR: FINALS WEEK EDITION

OMG you guys, I DID IT! Finals week is officially OVER and I am still breathing and functioning (sort of)! Four exams, two papers, and one terrifying clinical skills test where I had to demonstrate everything from IV insertion to patient assessment while three professors watched me like hawks. I’m pretty sure I aged about five years in five days.

SURVIVOR: FINALS WEEK EDITION

I literally lived off coffee and vending machine Cheetos for the past week. My diet consisted of: breakfast Cheetos, lunch Cheetos, dinner Cheetos, and approximately 847 cups of really bad library coffee. My roommate kept threatening to stage an intervention but she was too busy with her own psych finals to actually follow through.

BUT I PASSED EVERYTHING!!! All four exams - A’s and B’s across the board! My pathophysiology professor even wrote ‘excellent work’ on my exam (I may have squealed in the hallway). The clinical skills test was actually kind of amazing - turns out all those hours of practice paid off and I felt like I actually knew what I was doing for once. Maybe I really can do this whole nursing thing after all!

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to eat some actual vegetables and sleep for approximately seventeen hours. Summer break, here I come! 🎉
