Paper

Today in class I got my paper back so that I can start my corrections for the final draft. The fact that next friday the final draft of the paper is due makes me very happy. I feel that once i am able to get the final draft of the paper done then i will have so much stress lifted off of me and i will be able to focus solely on my hours for my practicum and then start thinking of getting my product into a rough draft sort of state. I was very pleased with the grade i got on my paper, an 82, so it makes me feel alot better that my final draft can only get a better grade and go up from an 82. The paper being such a big part of my grade and having what i consider a very good grade makes me very realived.

Breakfast

Although I missed the mentor breakfast I heard that it went very well. I was upset that i was not able to attend but in class I was still able to practice what I would have said if I was able to attend the breakfast. Although, my mentor and I have spoken and decided that now that I am able to do most everything we can start my hours. I cant wait to start my hours with her and actually get expierence in the field of emergency nursing.

Paper!

So this whole paper part of the project is not okay with me. I am so nervous that i will not have 8-10 pages by friday. It's wednesday so i need 10 pages in two days! I just hope that i will be able to find enough information to be able to effectively and make its good and make sense. Hopefully when i sit down tonight i will be able to get it like all done, completely. Then thursday night all i have to do is go through and edit it to make sure i didnt make any stupid spelling mistakes. Well lets hope i can pull this off and get it done!

Mentor

This morning I e-mailed my mentor to tell her that i will not be able to attend the breakfast but she of course is more than welcome to go! I told her why i couldn't go because of my doctors appointment and that i hope to be off of my crutches after that appointment. If i am off my crutches i will then be able to start my hours with her at the hospital and have my hours be actually effective instead of just following her around, well technically crutching around. I am very excited to start my hours and be able to actually experience emergency nursing and see if this is what i actually want to do with my life. Before i spend thousands of dollars on college for something i dont like.

Mentor

Today i plan on contacting my mentor to tell them that i will not be at the mentor breakfast. The day of the mentor breakfast i have a doctors appointment to hopefully get off my crutches. I will also be contacting her to hopefully start to set up hours to be done for later this month and into November. I am hoping that i will get off my crutches so that i will be able to spend my hours with her more efficiently because if i have my crutches i fear that i will not be able to do to much. I have been working by getting myself off of my crutches so that i can spend my hours the best that i can!

Paper

Tonight i am going to edit and add to my paper. I hope to get at least 2 or 3 pages done tonight so i am able to have all 8-10 pages by friday. I am very nervous that i wont be able to write a good paper with enough information in it that is 8-10 pages long. I hope that the edits that sam did to it when we did peer editing will help me get my paper to the next level instead of being a very rough rough draft.

portfolio

In class today i finished my portfolio so that it is ready for the check tomorrow. I was able think of a way to organize and divide it in a very good way. I put the papers in order of the things we got in the beginning to know. Then to divide it i divided it into proposal, mentor, budget, and paper. This made the most sense to me for organization.

Paper

Last night i got a good start on my paper! I made an organizer and then did the introduction of my paper. I felt that i was able to get a good start on that because i knew exactly what i want my paper to be like!

Paper

I have started to type my intro and that is going well but i am just nervous that if i don't get enough sources i wont be able to have at least 5 pages done by next wednesday! Although, i know that once i get all of my sources i will have no problem writing the paper itself because that is one of my strong skills.

Mentor hours

The closer it gets to being able to start my hours the more excited i get! I can't wait to actually start working with my mentor in the hospital so actually experience what it is like in the emergency room. This also makes me a little bit nervous because what if this is not what i actually want to do1

Annotated Bib update

Since Mrs. Hughes helped me with looking at different place to search and to try and think outside of the box to find sources it has really helped me. So this weekend I will be going to the library on sunday and monday since there is no school. I am hoping that after that i will have more than enough and that i will be able to have my paper done before the due date.
