2nd day of work, today I got to care for a patient. There’s things that feel familiar to when I was in school, but other things that I was responsible for that I am now.

It’s going to be a long transition into nursing, and I’m never going to know everything. But the key is to keep asking questions and working on learning and improving more. The people I’ve been working are great, having a supportive team is helpful.

Another big aspect is to take care of yourself and find a routine. Something I’ve been reading a lot about with atomic habit.

Today I did my physical reqs. before work, when I get off I going to attempt to go to a run.

Today I made matcha tea for the first time. I'm excited to keep working on it and trying different recipes. I really want to work on enhancing my drink making skills (coffee, tea, etc.). While I was drinking it, I find a few videos on YouTube on how improve the flavor and different add-ons.

I worked on poomsaes using the Kukkiwon Youtube. I only review Il, Eh, and Sam.

Ms. Suzanne and I worked on hopkido 4 last Saturday with guidance from the Grandmaster Lees demo video and in person guidance from Instructor Jen. I didn't think I could learn hopkido from reviewing videos, but after watching hopkido 5 today, multiple times, I feel comfortable with the steps. I'll still need to practice it in person and with an instructor for technique, but at least I'm more familiar about it. Hopikdo it not my favorite thing to practice, so learning it can be a bit overwhelming.
