I wish everyone good luck with the rest of the semester. I know everyone is looking forward to Christmas / Winter break. Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays! - LB

23 and counting!

"I can't believe we have another test 2 weeks before finals!" "Well I havn't even started my paper yet that is due in 5 days!" "And skills lab test out too!" "Ah, I am so stressed and tired of studying, how much longer do we have left?!" These are just some of the bits and pieces of conversations I have picked up as I walk down the halls, and don't try to deny it...I've heard you! Yes I myself have also taken part in such conversations, but my one contribution that is different from all others is "My 21st birthday is this week but I have 7am clinicals the next day, a paper and presentation due tuesday, and...wait for it...a test on Monday!" I guess my birthday is getting put on hold until winter break. Some of you may have already started the countdown to the end of semester before Thanksgiving break like I did, but for those of you who have not I say to you, over acheiver! No just kidding, I'm sure everyone is stressed with those end of semester papers and projects that get put on the back burner until you look at your planner, or the back of your hand since your paper supply has pretty much run dry by now, and see that they are due next week...not to mention the tests that get squeezed in a week and a half before finals! We all stress and complain and say we "just don't even care anymore" but we all somehow manage to come back semester after semester. So for those of you already counting, take a deep breathe its almost time! And for those over achievers who have yet to figure out that we are on the home stretch....23 DAYS TILL WINTER BREAK! And if I don't have a chance to blog again before then...since I am so busy...have a Merry Christmas and be safe!

Sorry I haven't been on to blog much lately, but I really haven't been around a lot. I've been out on the road for about the last four weeks for clinical. I had some awesome experiences along the way! I got to head back towards home for a couple of days at the Antelope Memorial Hospital. I couldn't have asked for a better experience as rural nurses really do "do it all". It didn't hurt getting to stay at home and have some home cooking again as well!!! Next stop, the Children's Hospital in Omaha. I don't think anyone really knows how resilient and inspiring kids can be until you've visited a place like the Children's Hospital. Kids that were so sick that they could barely move were the one's putting smiles on our faces! These are just a few of the great experiences that BryanLGH College tries to get their students.
Back here on campus, I've been engulfed in studying for tests for my Family and Critical Care classes. It really amazes me how much cool stuff we learn in just one semester. SGA has been busy too. We're looking in to improving student life by getting a new copier for the library, looking at getting different uniforms, getting a student membership to a workout facility, and hooking our student ID badges up to accounts that can used in the Bookstore and in the Plaza Cafe. Another project that is picking up speed is plans for an all school formal at the Cornhusker Hotel next January. As you can tell, there are plenty of ways to be involved here at BryanLGH College if you want to. If you want to know any more about any of these things or others ways to be involved, just ask!
