Hi-
So a lot of you have been following me through my first days of school. Thanks a lot guys for listening to me. :chuckle Today we didn't have nursing oriented classes. Our counselor came in to give us the "Talk". You know the one: Half of you won't be here in May...your school will be your life for the next ten months...support system is vital...people with small children beware...etc.
It was sort of distressing. After two exams my average is an A, and I feel confident in the material thus far, but I guess my paranoia has me feeling like the talk was directed at me. Not me alone, mind you, but me none the less. I have three small children. There is a three absence maximum before expulsion, which includes all emergencies that may arise. Even if ((((God forbid))))) I were in an accident and in the hospital for 5 days, I wouldn't be excused and would have to accept a medical withdrawal. That's not a good feeling. I need this so badly for myself but mostly for my family. We don't know what is going to happen tomorrow and life really throws some curve balls sometimes and I worry that I will miss out on my dream; not because of academics per se, but because of life in general. It scares me. Has anyone else ever felt this way or am I just super neurotic? :uhoh21: :uhoh21: :uhoh21:
