El Centro students Spring '06

Published

i know some of us have received our letters so i was wondering who else i will be making this journey with for the next 2 years.

my name is allison shaffer and it's nice to meet you. i know we will all be close because it's a small group. it would be nice to get to know some of you before november 17. :)

Specializes in Nephrology.
This is sooo funny, but my mom is also considering to go to nursing school! My mom is a surgical tech, but she's not for sure if she wants to continue doing that. She's 44 and is thinking about going to TCU.

That's awesome! I hope she follows her dream and goes for it. It's never too late in my opinion! I believe God puts the dream in your heart for a reason and He will take you all the way to the end. You just have to make the initial leap of faith.

Wow- Brie there must be some major stress in your household this coming week! You guys are always in my prayers and GOOD LUCK! God brought us this far and will give us that little nudge for HESI.

WE DID IT!!!!!! (well - almost)

I do agree that her tests keep you on your toes! I was so on it with this Neuro test! Mainly because I was ready for those left field questions...it was kind of exciting in a way. Bring it on HESI and NCLEX! LOL

I am going to do the official pinning next week, only. I am too tired to attend other parties. It's so exciting that your mothers want to go back to college. I have a classmate whose daughter graduated from nursing school 1 semester ago. She used to work in a bank. Another classmate of mine was a flight attendant. Another one was a social worker. They are all in their 40-s and they are doing great. :balloons:

Well, I am so glad to here from you guys, I missed you all.

I am happy you all doing well. Congrats on your position at Med City Allison. What made you decide?

By the way, I am 42.

Allison, give me some tips on clinical instructors, too, (if you can pm me).

I guess it is good thing , Hesi won't have to be passed to graduate anymore!!!

Katie, I only have the final, which is on the 10th. I'm having a hard time trying to focus on the GI/GU/DM stuff when I keep jumping back to the need to review old material, especially cardio!

Good luck you all taking finals. :balloons:

well,

I am beat, this final was the worst test I had so far in this whole program. My worst grade so far, but I made it, thank God. I hope everyone is doing good. Good luck, to those that still have to take theirs.

Amen, Mysterious One!!! Unbelievable that our average was a 76.?? after some of people got 4 points . Actually, our grades were out there for a short time and now they are gone. Now there is something that says "Technical Survey" (I think) instead of "Final". I wonder if that "Survey" will take the place of our final!! lol

But, as you said, Thank God it is OVER!!! But I would like to have a review over the final. I'm still curious about what I missed.

Good luck all you guys on your finals - especially you 4th semesters!!!

Big deep sigh. It is over and done with. I even went to the doctor this morning with a sinus infection. He gave me a steroid shot! Not what I needed right before the test. I think it kicked in right about the time I hit the 'done' button. This wave came over me and I started shaking and sweating....one of my classmates even told me I was whiter than a ghost. Anyway I hope everyone did ok. I heard they were throwing out 4 question? I hope this is true. Good luck to everyone. And thanks for lending the "big" shoulders for all of us.

Specializes in OR Internship starting in Jan!!.

The whole line in the grade section for the 2nd semester final is missing, too. Oddly enough, my average seems to have my final grade in it, not just the previous 4 tests. Strange! Who knows.

All I know is that I MADE IT through this DADGUM semester!

I don't know what this school is doing, I wish they would make up there minds about the test questions before they actually give them to us. Well, anyways, I got 9 extra points. I still have the same overall semester grade, so it didn't affect me to much. I am happy though, especially for many people in my class. I just don't understand ECC and there testing/ grading.............
