Phew. . . finally finished with OB!

doodles on vacation

so i got a wacom tablet for christmas (thanks, dad!) and i'm slowly figuring out how to use it (and photoshop). and here's what happened on vacation!

Sleeping Like the Dead

Squeaking in another one before the year is done! Thanks to Max for the title.

And we're back!

I don't post new drawings as often as I'd like to because, let's face it, nursing school is a lot of work and I'm busy! But when I find the time, drawing is a great way to think more about things that happen-- and plenty of things happen!

Easing your fears. . . and mine.

Sorry about the delay! New classes, new clinicals, new schedule! And new responsibilities, which I assure you I am perfectly qualified for. Aren't I?

What if . . .?

Even when I'm sure that I love what I do and I know that it is the right path for me, I still have doubts sometimes-- not that I love it, but that I am somehow allowed to do it!
This is a doodle that crept up on me over my break from clinicals and classes at the end of the summer.

Nightmares

I did these crude doodles the day before my first clinicals to calm myself down a little bit. Only some of my fears came true. And it wasn't so bad-- my first few days were in a nursing home, and after that in a hospital. I'm happy to report that the nurses I was working with all seemed to remember well what it's like to be a new nursing student-- an experience not shared by all of my classmates. Most important lessons so far? A little bit of respect and a willingness to do scutwork go a long way.
