But hang in there, you're almost 25% done.<br /><br />You should come to the GP surgery conference in Banff.

And, like you, they encouraged me and excited me enough to carry on (when I was memorizing what seemed to be the 10000th clinically irrelevant piece of information!) <br /><br />I hope what I write about isn't discouraging. It is tough but there are a lot of days when I love the challenges and new experiences I am getting. As a nurse I always wanted to be the one putting in the central lines and running the codes...and now I get to!! For that I am grateful. When I can sit back and remember to be. :)Albinoblackbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15222730484450544498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138625163039637769.post-53320622867959793082013-09-24T21:34:07.738-06:002013-09-24T21:34:07.738-06:00Thanks so much for writing.

I know it might be difficult to hash everything out like this, but I also hope that it's at least as therapeutic for you to write as it is for me to read. I'm only a second year medical student, and while some of my classmates take tales like these as discouragement about how hard everything is going to be, I find it refreshing and encouraging to know that other people - PEOPLE, mere mortal humans like me - are out there doing this right now. Even if you're having a hard time with it, you're doing it. It's possible. Even at your lowest moment, you're doing it, and that's encouraging to me.Justinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05573126089777999326noreply@blogger.com
