My learning/personal growth of this term: time management

This term I have learned lots. But the very important thing I have learned is the time management, both in theory and clinical.

On clinical site, I still have two patients paperwork like last term, but started to care for my third patient. Paper work wise, I am more efficient, it took less time to finish all of them. I think the knowledge I have learned during the term helped for example the lab value and the pathophysiology, the reduction of the paper work this term is also helpful. Patient care wise, I am more efficient than last term. Sometimes when I got a difficult patient, I struggled with time but always can get things done. I think a timely plan for patient care is helpful, even most time it is a mental plan, and it can help me to manage my time of care more efficiently.

For theory, I take another 5 more credits this term. I felt lots more pressure by keep up on the 15 credits schedule. I am doing fine with it just because I am staying with a strict detailed time plan. I made a time table weekly by days for what to study and have another plan for when to finish which part of study. I am strictly following the plan and never let myself slip. That way even it is tight on time wise for study, I still can go step by step to finish what I have planed.

Next term, I think I am going to take one more cause besides the nursing once again. I will stay on strict planning for theory and time my patient care plan. Time management is the key to be success in nursing school and my future career for me I think. I love well planed life.
