Who all is starting 2nd semester?? What are you taking and are you excited??

I am taking Clinical 2, Concepts of clinical decision making 1, Principals 2, Clinical 3 and Mental health nursing. Along with an online gov't class. I am excited but scared at the same time everyone at my school says 2nd semester is the hardest!! I made all A's in 1st semester so I just keep telling myself "everyone said that was hard too and I did just fine this will be the same way!" Another reason I am scared is I ended 1st semester badly with one instructor we "made up" and will not every have her again but it left a bad taste in my mouth about the whole nursing thing. So what do you have this semester??

I am starting 2nd semester. That is great that you came out with "A's". I came out with a "B" and a "C". I am taking Adult Health I (med-surge), and OB. Along with 12 hour clinicals for both classes. I'm really excited about OB. Can't wait to get started again. 1 down and 3 to go!!!

I'm starting me second semester of nursing classes in January, even though i'm a sophmore. my school does a 1:3 thing, we had a year full of prerec's. I'm so scared to go into clinical for the first time. Its hard to think that i'm even close to being ready.

I am starting next week in Adults1 (Med-Surg), Assessment skills, Ob, clinical skills, and then Psych. I am nervous but anxiuos at the same time, because a lot of students said that med-surg was hard, but then again I don't think anything is as challenging as Foundations in Nursing, which I received a B in, thank goodness! Good Luck:wink2:

My classes start on Monday and I will be taking Med-Surg I w/ clinicals on Tues. & Thurs., Step Aerobics, and Pilates on the ball. Hoping exercise will help relieve the stress and take off a some pounds gained last semester. :yeah: Some say this semester will be tougher than last, and some say it gets easier. I'm just going to have to feel it out myself. I'm excited and a little nervous at the same time, just getting ready to go at it again.

Hope you guys have a great semester! :wink2:

I'm starting my 2nd semester next week and I'm just as nervous about clinicals as I was the first semester. We will have 12 weeks of clinicals this semester we only had 8 weeks in our 1st semester. My class load is light just Maternal Child Nursing and Art Appreciation.

Tx2007 great job on making it through the first course with A's I ended up with B's . But I'm not complaining I plan on using my same study strategy and hopefully I can make it through this semester with a passing grade.

Good luck everyone :)

I will be starting my second semester also. I am motivated at this point and I will be taking med-surg II :rolleyes: , psych/mental health:imbar , applied principles (nursing skills) and junior seminar II. I am suppose to take a stats class but I think I will wait until the summer and take it online. I have taken the time to get things in order at home and I pray that I do better this semester than I did last semester.

Good Luck to you all:balloons:

I'm starting my 2nd semester on the 12! I'm taking Med-Surg 1 (12 credits) and Pharmacology (5 credits). 17 credits! Yikes! Classes M and F, clinicals T, W, and R. Plus, I already told them that I would tutor again next semester. What was I thinking? :lol_hitti Oh well, might as well make it as challenging as possible, right? LOL. I'm excited as can be over this semester. I loved last semester, despite all the stress; and can't wait to do it again! At least time goes quickly when I'm that busy.:)

I can't believe it! Break is over and it is time to get to work. This semester I am taking A&PII, med-surg, maternal-child, clinical concepts, and nutrition and diet therapy. Yep. All of that. I am so excited, and I am challenging myself to continue with the 4.0. I know it will be difficult, but if I study lots and lots, I can do it. I'm ready!
