I agree 100 percent. These people are smart people that are motivated and sometimes they just get thrown off. I try to think a lot while taking the test, and critically placing everything together. Sometimes I overthink it. I didn't do excellent on the first test, but I did good. I am happy that I did good too. I know I need more pratice. At the same time I love using reason in nursing. The care plans we have to put together are almot fun, except we get tested on it...more stressful. I love putting the pieces together, and it is a lot of practice.

Every patient is different and it makes the work much more intereasting. Not loving the nursing home. It is not for me at all. I feel horrible seeing these people the way they are. Thankfully they are not neglected. I like to talk a lot so it is hard for me to go into the room and talk to the patients and hardly if ever, get a response.

I also am scared half to death of feeding the patients. Now I feel like feeding my babies is a walk in the park. I am afraid that the patients might choke or that I might hurt them. Just horrible. Dying to go to my third semester. I think I will find my calling there.

I mean the whole elderly and med surg....I am not sure if it is for me. I love OB/GYN and I think that is what I might want to do. But that is the purpose of rotation...to explore.


How is everyone doing in their clinicals and in their first semester of nursing?

On my acceptance letter into the bridge program at MDC it said I had to reserve my seat by Oct.10, 2008. It is after that that they start filling in the seats that were not taken....so if anyone is still waiting...don't give up
