Last session was memorable for me. School is fun. Except for numerous tests and examinations, of course. One course that stood out was Nursing Ethics and Jurisprudence. I wondered what connection nursing had with law too. But this course was an eye opener. From learning about consent and the implication of informed decision-making to medical negligence and malpractice, I truly learned. The scenario-based interactive class discussions, being introduced to interesting legal jargon and the lecturer's manner of questioning that felt like we were in a mini-court was the highlight for me. At some point, I was considering being a nurse attorney or a path in forensic nursing. Combine nursing with Annalise Keating's eloquence (in How to Get Away With Mu*rder) and they won't see me coming. When I had the opportunity to be in an actual court hearing for the first time in November, my brewing drive for law died a natural death. It felt nothing like what I saw in the movies or experienced in class. While I didn't expect it to be all jubilatory, I never expected it to be funereal either. I'd like to know. Is there a reason courts are this way? Pin-drop silence, barely hearing whatever the judge perused and all... Or this only happens in the court hearing I experienced. Anywho, it's a new session and hopefully, my final. Pumped up with anticipation for new knowledge in the class room and actually applying them in the hospital and other volunteering experiences I get. I look forward to sharing them all with you!
