i thought it would be a fun way to keep up with each other over the next 2 years! cut and paste below, so we can get to know each other:
name
school:
program:
what area of interest at this time:
biggest fear:
what you'd like us to know about you:
how's that? let's be a class of encouragment and support! heather
me:
name: heather
school: cypress comm. college, ca
program: rn
what area of interest at this time: nicu
biggest fear: pharm!
what you'd like us to know about you: i love to scrapbook. in fact, i made a small scrapbook about my journey to get into nursing school. i have 2 cute kids, and a hunky husband. :)
Biggest fear: that all of a sudden i realize that i've been spoon-fed this whole time and now i'm in over my head!!!
What i'd like you to know about me: this whole nursing career thing has given me a new lease on life and i'm so excited about it. now i actually have a 5 year plan for the first time in my life.
i'm the type of person that if i know there will be stresses down the road, i try to prepare and give myself pep talks in advance, hoping i'll remember some of it when i need it. so, for now, my pep talk is this: i know i'll be so nervous, but if i can just adjust to the new "nursing style of testing" that i've heard so much about, i'll be fine. i'll give it my best effort, which got me to this point.
AREA OF INTEREST: L&D, Infectious Disease (Weird, huh? )
BIGGEST FEAR: The waiting after I've applied for nursing school!!
WHAT I'D LIKE YOU TO KNOW ABOUT ME: I got married a year ago, and I love every minute of it! Also, I can't wait to start nursing school (I will be applying for January 2007), so HOPEFULLY this fall will be my last semester of pre-req's! YAY!
