week one at jhu!

accelerated...sounds doable, right?

they weren't kidding!

i kicked off my first semester at johns hopkins school of nursing monday, june 2. it was exhilarating and exhausting...

this semester is super short -- nine weeks of instruction plus finals! (and i have already completed one...yikes!)

i am taking five courses and will be spending one day a week at good samaritan hospital working in the rehabilitation unit for spinal cord and neurological injuries plus other medical overflow. i can't wait!

my new skills for the week include taking a complete health history and vital signs (pulse, respirations and blood pressure). doesn't seem like much but it is harder than it sounds, trust me!
