STUDY BREAK!!!

After reading through a boring presentation on plagiarism it is definitely time for a study break :) I am all out my lite white berry cappuccino and although my heart is racing like mad, I feel like taking a nap. Maybe a little goofing off will wake me up.

This week has been hectic as usual, however I feel I have a much better handle on managing it all. It seems I have learned some things from last semester that I am now applying to my course work for this semester. Such as my very long paper on mandatory nurse to patient ratios. I sometimes have a hard time believing that I actually can contribute to an intellectual conversation that does not involve the topics of raising children or scrap booking. I am becoming nervous about all this knowledge I am gaining. I never cared less what was going on around me, and now I am identifying ways that I want to get involved to help make a change in health care (did I really say get involved???). I am beginning a ambitious list of things to do when I am done -I hope I can keep my enthusiasm.

On one discussion board we are discussing the changes that have occurred in health care since we have become nurses. This lead to conversation regarding the focus on prevention and health promotion. One person talked about getting credit from their employer for participating in healthy lifestyle programs. I love it. Those of you who have listened to me babble about my future ambitions know how much I would love to be part of a program like this.

Well I am going to play around with my site and see if I can some lists of sites, etc of what I like.

Thanks for reading and being a part of my life :)

Care said...

The company I work for has several healthy lifestyle incentive payments - one I think for not smoking, and one for meeting exercise or nutrition goals. Plus they are great about covering expenses for preventative care.

Hope the classes are going well! I've thought about going back - went as far as getting accepted into a masters program, then never found the time to take a single class.
