Where I live in North Carolina, summer has set in with a vengeance.
The beginning of the fall semester is a bit off, summer classes are winding down.
What is a student to do?
This student is preparing the poster for the North Carolina Nurse Association convention. It is due at the end of July.
Also due at the end of July are the virtual convention hours from AORN.
Other students may have their eyes on vacation on these hot days.
Hours at the beach, if that is your thing.
Hours hiking in the mountains, if that is your thing.
Hours huddled in the air conditioning, if that is your thing.
Hours reading books that you don’t have time for during the school year.
You do you.
The point is that there are very few weeks until the end of summer and the beginning of the fall semester.
You might as well enjoy it.
It will be time soon enough to buckle down for the 16 weeks of the fall semester.
Time to recharge and get the brain cooled off so that you start the fall semester with a cool brain, enough sleep, and ready to tackle the classes.
One of my favorite mantras is useful here “the only way out is through.”
