Although I previously announced that I will not blog anymore, I have decided to start a new one so that I am able to reflect upon my thoughts as a student. This is the third blog that I have created; the first being a Geocities site, the second being a Myspace. This will be the most serious blog of the three, as I believe as a future health professionalist, speaking of unnecessarily offensive things is taboo.
I am a male studying Masters of Nursing, with a background discipline of Business Studies/Commerce. I look forward to an interesting and thought provoking journey to becoming a health professional in the coming two years.
Anyways, to get started - So far the nursing course has been a stressful one. As one could imagine, the transition from a business into a scientific mind frame can really test out a person's limits. I understand the concepts at the moment (it's still only the 2nd week) , but this is only because I have put a whole lot of time and effort into it. In contrast, I easily passed the Business degree with a credit without studying or attending classes.
The students at nursing are very nice. I think approximately 2/5 are males, which is doubly more than what I expected. So far I have made around 12 friends, all of them older than me in age and experience. It feels really great to not be outcasted because of my gender, race or age.
In these two weeks, I have already felt a sense of achievement because I feel that I am able to overcome the fear of engaging in casual conversations with people much older than me.
As I experience more throughout these two years (as a student) and beyond (as a nurse), I will try to put them into the blog so that I am able to reflect and gather after sight on whether perceptions change in time or not.
One person I really need to acknowledge and thank is Linda. Without her, many of the things I have achieved at the moment will not have been possible. Her guidance and support really got me out of sticky situations and her friendship will never be forgotten. Thank you Linda!
P.S - Today is a special day because my girlfriend is coming back from her trip to Hong Kong. I wonder if she got fat?!
