Those of us starting in August......

hikernurse · May 13, 2005

Stats, Chem, lab, Film class. Moving. Painting the entire house. I'm going to squeeze in a couple of family camping trips, but I'm not sure when. I'm beginning to think August is going to come too quickly .

I'm going to Spain as soon as classes are over! Right now I'm taking 3 classes and working 45 hours a week, I need a nice big, juicy break! I'll have to take pathophysiology online while I'm there though. I'm so excited to start school in August!!! I just found out I got in to my #1 choice a couple days ago. Congrats to everyone who is starting - enjoy your summer!!! :balloons:

I've bought a clinical calculations book and plan on working on it a little everyday so that I will feel prepared come August, and other than that I will be working at my current job, and tending to kids and hubby..:)

What are your summer plans????? I really need to keep my summer busy because I am a nerd and like school
So on the 17th (my Bday) I am starting my EMT Intermediate class which is exciting, It runs through the first week of August. This is great because it will move me up a notch at work!
Then I will be working my other jobs lol: EMS, post partum doula, and working from home. phew,,
We are going to take some day trips...have an overnight trip planned to Sesame place for my 3 1/2 year old daughter and things like the aquarium etc.
What are your plans?

Wow. I am also very excited. I was accepted into the ADN program and I start this August. I hope the sumeer goes by FAST!!!

Hey, my birthday is the 16th!! Happy Birthday!

I'm starting in August as well. I'm taking classes only the first half of summer, since I don't really need anything else anyway. Two of my three children will be at my mother's house for the entire month of July, so my husband, my son and I are taking a short trip to California for our 15th anniversary. After that, the next few weeks will be all about getting my kids and myself ready for school - 1 first grader, 1 third grader, 1 nursing student, 1 master's degree student (hubby). My son is not quite 3 and preschool is just fine with him, thank you.

I got a book called Math for Nurses by Mary Jo Boyer. It says it is a pocket guide to dosage calculation and drug preparation. I found it at my school's bookstore but I've heard you can get it on ebay or possible at your local library to check out. Good luck...and if you wanna form a sort of online study group this summer just email me!:)

Thanks I'm gonna check into the book as well. I also found two books from another thread and bought them on Barnes and Noble.com " How to Survive & Maybe Even Love Nursing School: A Guide for Students by Students

ISBN:0803611579" and " Saunder's Student Nurse Planner: A Guide to Success in Nursing School, Version 3

ISBN:0721698786" I'll let you know how they turn out.

I am taking online anthrolpology - my last pre-req. I want to get a second job to pay off some debt before classes start in Aug, and I will be buying my patho/pharm book early to start preparing for classes. I also plan to review physiology because I hear we will use it a ton in nursing school and I took it last summer, so of course I remember nothing.
