This semester has been a heavy one for me. Every one of my courses has at least one writing assignment due every week. At first I though, great! This will make me a better writer! Nope, not even close. It has made me a cloistered, joyless hermit.

So after having three papers due in three consecutive days, I stepped away from the computer on Friday and didn’t open it again until Sunday. I simply couldn’t bear to be in front of the cursed machine. This was a good move. Instead of being a zombified nursing student with a thousand yard stare, I was a person. I had a name, thoughts, feelings, the works. It felt great to be back and with improved mental health.

But it was kind of a mistake for my academic health. I forgot that I had two other assignments due that week. I worked on them both today even though they are late (this is one of them :/). Oh well. Some things fall through the cracks, but this ship will sail on. I can’t wait until I can disconnect again sometime in December. Until then

I know I’m a little late on this post, but it was so hard for me to disconnect this past week. With the election, neuro exam, work emails and texts, SNA emails, my online class, or just needing my phone by me in case my kids needed me or something happened to them, I wasn’t able to find a time to disconnect for too long. This morning I was able to finally take a little reprieve from technology while at my daughter’s playoff soccer game. I was able to pay attention 100 percent. I also had wonderful interactions with family that was there with us. We cheered for her, my son hugged on me, and we even chatted and threw a football around after the game. It was wonderful to have that interaction and human touch. After that, we stopped by my parents’ house and I didn’t take my phone in. It was nice to visit with my nephew, sister, and parents without feeling the need to look down at my phone for any reason.

I definitely think that we miss out on so much going on around us when we looking down at our phones or typing away on our computers or watching mindless television. I want to practice disconnecting and being more present with the human beings who are there in front of me. Thank you for this assignment, it takes something like this to shake my world up a bit and take a look at something in a different way.

I found this link that is the most unbiased article I have read about the topic. It discusses both what Clinton and Trump have stated they would want to do in regards to health care. This was written before the election took place. It covers multiple topics. I do not know all the logistics of costs and insurance and such while working as a nurse because I am not in that role yet. Having said that, I am not entirely sure how the election will affect me as a future nurse, but look forward to reading other articles by you guys!
