Now that we have received our caps and reached the first big plateau in our climb to the status of R.N., it is interesting to look back over the hustle and bustle that was our preclinical year. Our hardest job during the first few weeks was fitting ourselves into an entirely new routine. No longer could we do what we wanted, when we wanted. There were specific mealtimes, specific study hours— a certain time to do everything. The first few months of training were spent mainly at Lycoming College where we attended three classes. Early every morning we could be seen trudging to classes through rain and snow. Because of our busy schedule here at the hospital, we couldn ' t attend many of their social functions, but we made many new friends. After our college courses were completed, we began to spend more time in actual clinical practice. This enabled us to put into use the procedures we learned during classes here at the hospital. Under the supervision of the clinical instructors, we are striving to attain the status of good nurses and looking forward to the da when we can sign the familiar R.N. after our names. 12
