Excitement in the air

Published

As some of you know, I'm in a very unique nursing program.

It's a 1+2+1 program with a liberal arts college (years 1+4) and a college of nursing (years 2+3) where you take the nursing prerequisites in year 1, nursing in years 2+3, graduate with an ASN from the CON after year 3, finish the liberal arts and BSN requirements and in year 4 and graduate from the LAC with a BSN. If that's confusing...sorry. Basically, you get an ASN and BSN in 4 years.

Tonight, we had the dinner for freshman, and it was great!

We went over to the hospital/CON and got a tour led by a first year nursing student and a faculty member, so we got to see the facility and the CON itself including classrooms, the library and the lab, ask questions etc. Then we had a dinner where there were even more first year students that we ate and talked with and then had a Q&A session with.

I will admit, it was extremely intimidating. A lot of information was given to us, some of it terrifying...but it made me really excited as well. That's gonna be me in the fall! I think that was the extra push I needed to see how much I want this and to know how hard I'm gonna have to work at A&P II this summer, but how worth it all the stuff I've had to deal with thus far will be.

Orientation starts August 18th, and I can't wait!

I'm so excited for my school to begin, too, that I'm ready to be done with the classes I'm taking now and move along. Good luck with A&P II this summer- I'm finishing it up now and preparing to take micro this summer. Should be a blast!

Should we start a brand new A&P 2 summer thread next month?

I might add, that my class is the ENTIRE summer. It is not a condensed class, so I will be going straight thru until Aug 24.

SDRL, you must not be too terribly far from me. I went to BCC as a kid and am taking some online classes through Herkimer. St. Joseph's is near there, right? I'm near Albany.
