Day 2 of Convention...

I finally got some sleep! After sleeping 9 hours last night I feel marvelous! Yesterday we got to here lots more about why you should be a BSN, MSN or PhD nurse verses an ADN and that everyone should have to be a BSN to go into bedside practice. I feel very differently about that, but so far it’s just talk to get that changed and it has been for the past 15 years so there is nothing to get all worked up about yet. The Career Expo started today, all I really cared about was all the free stuff like pens and such that I could get. My pens always seem to disappear at the hospital. Maybe next year it will be more important to me, since I will be closer to graduating. I attended a session today about “Acing Nursing School Exams”, the nice thing about going to this one is that I already use at least 75% of what they told us to do, so if I use the other 25% then I should definitely be making A’s. Towards the end of the day at convention we got to hear some of the Resolutions that other members recommended for NSNA. After finishing for the day at 6:30 we were off to the Aquarium to eat dinner under the water. What a fun experience! After dinner, a few of the girls wanted to go “clubbing” in downtown Nashville. Since I have not toured this city before I figured what the heck and went along for the ride. I enjoyed getting to see places like the old “Grand Ole Opry”, The Titans Stadium and the At&t building that looked liked it belonged in Gotham City. We didn’t get back to our room until after 1am and I had to be up at 6am, so going out was not a good decision on my part….haha
