However, I am totally going to take advantage of the next 10 weeks because I know this coming fall is going to be insanely busy. I will have clinical four days a week and class two days a week including a weekend class. I am starting to finally see that light at the end of the tunnel, and it's really amazing. I have come so far in the past two years and am excited to start practicing nurse practitioner skills hands-on in several different settings.
I also wanted to catch you up on the Boston Health Expo 2013, which I attended at the Hynes Convention Center a few weeks ago. I had the opportunity to work with the Boston Medical Center dermatology team which was a GREAT experience. I spent the day educating the public on the dangers of excessive exposure to UV rays, ways to protect your skin, and even had the chance to check for skin damage under specialized light boxes. It was a wonderful time and approximately 60,000-70,000 people from the public showed up to check out all the different exhibits. I will definitely be going back next year!
As a side note, I am also moving out of my apartment in Waltham as I will be doing my clinical placements in RI. Therefore, if anyone is looking for an apartment 10 minutes from school, 20 minutes from Boston, and 5 minutes from the highway -- LET ME KNOW ASAP. It is a super great deal that you cannot pass up. Contact me at ktava775@regiscollege.edu for more information. Thanks!
