I've always been afraid of caring for a patient who is actively dying. I'm not exactly sure why. I guess it makes sense... death is a scary thing. I always worry that I'm going to cry in front of a patient's family or say the wrong thing. This semester, my clinical is on an oncology floor where death and dying seems to be somewhat commonplace. So far, I've done a pretty good job of avoiding it, but I wanted to challenge myself to face this fear of mine.

I've always been a straight A student. I finished my first undergrad degree with a 3.9 GPA. My lowest grade in all of college was a C, and I think that was my very first exam during my freshman year. I thought failing was for fuck ups... for people who were too lazy to try.

AuthorMy name is Jeanie and I'm in an accelerated nursing program in Manhattan. My first degree was in strategic communications from the School of Journalism at UW-Madison, so it's been a big change, but I LOVE IT! Read my blog and check out my youtube page to peek into my journey in becoming a nurse. Archives
