Classes have been fun this semester as I have been doing once a week clinicals. I had clinical for half the semester at Bryan West and the other half at St. Elizabeth's. I have learned a lot about scanning and patient care at both facilities. It is way cool that I'm only in my second year of college and I'm already getting clinical experience and I've even gotten to scan patients on my own.

Next semester we go to twice a week clinicals and some of the sites could even be outside of Lincoln. It will be nice to see the different facilities and see all the different types of scans at each place.

I can't believe it is already December! Next week is finals week. Only 11 more days until my christmas break officially begins. I will probably spend most of my break back home with friends and family. I can't wait to see everyone!
This is how I feel about finals week:

Nearing the End....

of the semester that is! Whoo hoo! Two days of class, plus next week and then a week of finals. Faculty and Staff are planning a potluck next Friday to get some home cooked food into the stomachs of our students before they dig in and study over the weekend for their finals!

This semester marks the first FULL semester that we've used the plastinates in Anatomy lab and Noelle, our birthing simulator, in the Simulation Center. We have such great resources for our students to take advantage of!

If you are thinking about applying to one of our programs our Fall deadlines are quickly approaching, February 1st for Nursing and February 15th fro Sonography!

Hey everyonesure has been awhile. Havn't worked much due to a rigorous clinical schedule. But am done now for 3 weeks yeah! Next week is already and Thanksgiving and by birthday on the same day. I will be going home on Tuesday and staying until Saturday. Only 3 more weeks left of school until Christmas break! Wahoo!

Slacking...

We've been slacking a little around here writing our blogs, so are renewing our commitment to bring you blog posts on a weekly basis. We've been traveling to 80 communities in Nebraska, Iowa and Kansas, sending 7500+ mailings, 3000+ phone calls and we won't even get into your emails and those numbers. Thanks for keeping us so busy.

We are all looking forward to the holiday season coming up. Thanksgiving is next week and we'll all be spending some time with our family to renew and get ready for the end the semester.

Until next time....

Crazy Busy!

Hey everyone!
It sure has been awhile! I have been so busy with school, clinicals, and work that I really haven't had much free time lately. Things have been especially busy in the admissions office lately with both of the admissions counselors out for most of each week traveling to different high schools around the state speaking to prospective students. If you're interested in learning more about any of our programs talk to your high school counselor about when one of our admissions counselors will be coming to your high school! Today I am going to Hastings to watch my little sister play volleyball and that is probably the excitement of my week...how sad! I hope everyone stays warm and dry today!

clinical

Well classes have resumed and the craziness begins! Nursing care 1 and pharm take up a lot of my time weather it be clinical hours or just studying all of the meds I now am expected to know. I love the fall season too especially the weather. Husker football is here too and I am proud to say they are ranked 8th!

Wow! It has been awhile. We are already in our fourth week of classes. I can't believe how fast this semester is already going. I have already began scanning and it is sooo much fun! I have really enjoyed being able to scan but it has been pretty stressful because I am still not sure what exactly I am looking at sometimes. But that will all come with time! I will also be starting my once a week clinicals in 2 weeks, which will be a change. Other than class, I have been spending the weekends with my roomates and going to the husker football games. GO BIG RED!
