Keep Calm and Carry On. Or have an anxiety attack :)

Standard

First and foremost, I want all NP students to know about this website: http://www.enpnetwork.com. It’s about $29 for a 90 day access. It allows you to see preceptors in your area that are willing to take students. I recently signed up this week and emailed a prospective preceptor in a clinic for low-income individuals. Besides preceptors, it’s a pretty cool way to interact with nursing organizations.

And that’s why I’m writing this short & sweet blog post…

I got a response within 2 days. And I’m supposed to call her today after six….

And I suddenly can’t remember what my name is. Much less what I’m supposed to say to entice her to take me on as a student this September/October.

It’s a 1,000 times worse than a job interview.

Anyways, I guess the worse that could happen is that she might say “Shannon, you’re crazy. I don’t think this is going to work out.” And then I could go on my merry way and sleep at night without the feeling of impending doom while waiting to make a phone call :)

A later post will follow after the phone call… I’m curious to see what I’m going to write in that post…

About theshanster

I am a 24 year old student finishing my first year of my graduate degree to be a Family Nurse Practitioner. I've been in nursing (LPN & RN) for nearly 4 years; prior to that I was in supportive health roles for 2 years. My experience has been in ICU and Emergency nursing, with a short stent in Home Health. I originally created this blog to document the progress of an NP student throughout my graduate program. However, I'm hoping to fill it with alternative therapies, support for other students, and as a way to network with others. This is my first blog, so please pardon the mess while I get the hang of it! Thank for reading!
