Almost a Month in!

So I've obviously been busy! It's almost been a full month now in nursing school and I have to say It isn't too bad... So Far. I failed my first pharmacology test but I heard that was reasonable to not know what to expect, The first foundations test I got a B on which is pretty good. C=RN. I have another test though tomorrow in Pharmacology )my seond one) and I am so afraid I am going to bomb it. I haven't had much time to study, and I feel very nauseated and sick. Of course I am at work too, 12 hour shifts on the weekends dont help my lack of study time. I quit working during the week so hopefully this week I can get more studying done. All I want to do when I get off in an Hour is take some Nyquill and crash! Oh, and tuesday we start our nursing home clinicals, YAY! jk. Pray hard for me tomorrow, I'll need lots of prayers to do well on my test (I'll even take anything above a 65!) Pray Hard and wish me luck

First Week of School....

Yup so tomorrow is the last day of our first week at nursing school. I am completley overwhelmed and more stressed than ever. It doesn't seem too hard just alot to do in a small amount of time! If there were only a few more hours in the day... ok maybe like 10! that way i could catch up on some sleep too! We have a major test every monday, in either Pharmacology or Foundations. Along with clinicals on Tuesdays, Lab for Pharm and Foundations on Wednesday with lots of quizes for those! And Lectures on Thursdays! I also have to take CPR class on Friday! OH, by the way did I mention I work Full time too?! 12 hour shifts on the weekends! and tuesday and wednesday nights! im exhausted but i have a quiz tomorrow. when i get out of school i'm going to crash!!!!! and its pay day! then i'm off this friday, i'm so excited! but then i got to work sat and sun 7a-7p :( well i better go so i can go home and get some sleep. (I'm at work)
goodnight!

School Starts Tomorrow!

So, school starts tomorrow and i've figured a few things out. First, I am not moving this semester I will be driving (not really by much choice). Second, I have already not enjoyed my last few days of not getting any sleep, and trying to get ahead has ruined my last few free days to myself! Ive already got the first 5 chapters on notecards! tell me about no sleep and my hand hurting... but they are just on notecards, I don't know them yet. I am a little anxious about how everything is going to go tomorrow...I am hoping to become really good friends with some of them and maybe get an apartment or something this summer and fall. Oh, also my books were $1,034....WHOA talk about crazy. That was more than my tuition! and I won't be able to get a loan for school this summer. Talk about stress! I am just going to focus on this semester though and try to pass, then I will start worrying about the next semester and so on. They posted the new schedules for each class and looking over them kinda overwhelmed me. There is so much we are learning in this first semester, catheters, tubing, needles/shots, etc. it almost makes me think what am I doing??? But I am still excited for the moment, I guess until the first few clinicals come. I'll write next week and update you on how the first week is going! (oh and our first lecture test is in 3 weeks over 12 chapters!!! SERIOUSLY!!! Wish me Luck :)

Getting it all together!

So today is Saturday December 15th, I had my Nursing Orientation last week and It wasn't overwhelming or anything i was just anxious. Still am. They didnt explain much (besides being late will never happen!) just went over the rule book and we got our supplies. I got my letter in today about where to go the first day of school, the anticipation is killing me! sounds weird considering im gonna have no life, but im just ready to move on and grow up! All i'm having to deal with now is my second plus loan, figuring out if im moving to kilgore or driving everyday. I think i'm moving but just have to get all the kinks figured out. Less than one month (from yesterday) until school starts! I'm so ready!

Nursing Orientation

Nursing orientaion starts next week, Friday December 6. I am super excited, but a little nervous. I am ready to start school, but having to deal with switching my loans has become a pain! It wasn't just cancel my loan at UTT and switch it to Kilgore, but paperwork, and surveys before they'll send my transcript... just crazy! hopefully i can get it all in soon and just start studying hard! Not too much longer until I have no life. :)
