We've been best friends every since.

YEA FOR ME!

I'm not sure if it was a fluke that will never happen again or if it is the beginning of a new trend, but for the first time EVER, I got the highest test grade in our class today. The Unit exam was on Growth & Development and Immunizations. I'm still in shock with the 98%. Woo Hoo!

We started clinicals a couple weeks ago in long term care and today we moved on to acute care. Its really exciting, but at the same time it is a bit intimidating. I might consider working Med Surge for at least a year or two as an LPN while I finish the Associate program, (just for the experience though) because I haven't changed my mind about working in long term care. Eventually, I hope to get into administration, but that is a ways off.
