Again I have been slacking on the blogging!  These first 3 weeks went flying by!  Happily I only have 9 credits this semester which is a walk in the park compared to 14. For all you first semester FNP students, I feel your pain!  But that does not mean I have a shortage on school work.  So this semester, I begin my women’s health. I have to say I really was not looking forward to it but now that I’m doing it…its really not that bad (even though the first time I went to insert a speculum my hand was shaking!).  I guess you could say I’m also learning more about myself as woman too as well as providing health care for them.  I have a few different clinical sites that provide diversity for me.  One is with the Harford County Health Dept working with underserved women who come in for annual exams and other GYN issues.  The other is in the ALIVE clinic here at JHH working again with underserved HIV patients who are being studied.  And then in the Avon breast clinic here at JHH.  So I can’t say I’ll get bored!  I’m also really glad I get to work with an underserved population because that is what I’m looking into for my career.  Since I am going to focus on this population… Soy aprendo hablar espanol! (I think I got that right?) Yes I took the Spanish elective.  It’s actually pretty fun learning another language.  Hopefully I’ll learn enough for my trip to Mexico in October to converse with the natives! More to come…
