Specializes in Neuro, Geriatrics, Progressive Care.

I have been "coolin it". Lazy the whole way. I squeezed in some mother-daughter moments but other than that I've been in pj's with my hair tied up. A&P II, NUR 112, NUR 114. I will be busy so I need to take the time to breath. I have been staying up late and waking up even later. (Only time I can get me time without screaming "sit down" or "calm down"). I have managed to do some dosage calculations for the medication comptency test we have the second day of class. I have been good at it thus far so praying that I don't have to take it over after the first time. Oh, I am reading a book. It's really cheesy romance novel but anything beats Nursing books. Have a great break you guys.

Sleeping in late, reading novels that I've had there like sitting ducks, hanging out with friends, catching up on some tv series and light educational reading lol.. Just relaxing like I don't have a care in the world, feels absolutely wonderful. :w00t:

I don't know about everyone else, but being my last semester, I have a set plan of finishing in May '12 and taking my NCLEX at the first available date. So taking a break is not all the way an option. I've been doing my readings and working and listening to pre-recorded lectures for the next semester. I plan on having an easier last semester of nursing.

I do plan on enjoying New Years. Don't slack of fellow students. Do something everyday, what ever you can to organize yourself for the semester to come.

Happy New Year All.

Congrats NurseLoveJoy88. You significant other can't have picked a more perfect time. For not only will you efficiently get married, but will also be enthused, happy, and a bit hard on using time. I wouldn't be surprised if you have your lectures with you right before you say "I DO".

Congrats!
