Sounds good to me!!

I read the handbook already and noticed that our grading scale is going to be like the way it used to be an A is 100-93...and soo on. Anything below an 80 % is considered failing. Everyone ready for this??

I just saw that and am feeling even more pressure now. I am starting to feel more nervous and unprepared the closer day one is. We just have to keep telling ourselves that we can and will get through these 4 semesters. I am picking up my box with the books today and know that is going to overwhelm me even more. I am feeling very defeated today and I need to turn this around STAT! That always makes me feel better when I get to say STAT.

We can do this, I'm sure it isn't as hard as it seems. Just focus on one thing at a time!

My husband gave me some good advice the other day. He said, "Look how many nurses there are. They went throught all of this, too. You all aren't the first and definetely won't be the last. This is all part of the process. Do you think they want a nurse that can't handle a little pressure?"

So, I just keep telling myself this, when I look at that GIGANTIC stack of books. They are putting the pressure on us to see if we've got moxie.

Yeah, I said it... moxie!

I know all of you have moxie or we wouldn't be into page 111 of this post, that was started back in April.

We are all going to great no matter what is thrown our way.

I was also feeling defeated, but a nurse gave me some encouragement last night. She said the worst part about the program is nerves, but once you get past that you will be fine. They make it seem hard the first semester to see who has it and who doesn't have it. I can tell you all that WE have it and will do well!!

Well, I'm leaving tomorrow for my mini-vacation and won't be back on again until Wednesday. Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

OMG that box was heavy lol and it was raining well on to my last day of work in the real world for a while aand then the fun begins!!!!

Well, I'm leaving tomorrow for my mini-vacation and won't be back on again until Wednesday. Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

Have a wonderful trip! Enjoy every moment of it.

hey guys! i got my books yesterday. and yes that was a lot of books. luckly my sister came along to help me carry all of them. oh, ms tookes told me not to get the iclicker but the bookstore lady said no its included in your voucher and i told her what ms. tookes said, not to add it. and she said "awww whatever everybody has been adding so don't worry about it." i said ok because there was a line of students wanting to pay. so my question is have any of you that have worksource used the voucher to pay for the iclicker? is it really a big deal? i know it eats into the rest of my money for books for the other terms but i don't want to get off on the wrong foot with them especially since they are paying for everything.:)

don't worry. i don't think she really cared because ms. tookes actually told me that a lot of the other students were getting the iclicker with no problem. the main reason she warns you is that you will have to come out of pocket for next term on your books. from the way she said it though regardless of whether you use the voucher to get the iclicker you are going to have to come out of pocket next term. we only get 800.00 for 1st term and we have already spent anywhere from 90.00-130.00(if you get the iclicker) over that. we get 200.00 for 2nd term so we only have 110.00-70.00 left.

either way she told me to try to get it on my own but didn't say that i absolutely had too.
