I had orientation for nursing school this morning where we did stuff like order scrubs and generally learn what direction to point ourselves in. I won the med-surg textbook we will be using for the next 3 semesters in a raffle! Best $5 I ever spent - I consider it a good omen. Classes start tuesday eek!

I am starting my first semester on Monday. Very nervous! Have already been working on the two Independent Study classes that we have in addition to the normal core classes. (Dosage Calculations & Medical Terminology) I have been studying since orientation on the 1st and still feel like I am behind. Yikes!! I am so excited about learning and practicing skills in lab, but there is soo much to learn.:nuke:

Monday was the first day of my 4th semester. Tomorrow is our clinical lab where we learn to start IV's for the first time. I am nervous and excited. This semester is med surg IV, which they say is the hardest. We shall see!

OK...so I've pretty much got everything I need for school...and have had very little nervousness up until tonight!! I don't know whether I'm more nervous about the drive to and from school (commuting...an hour each direction...not bad til the Minnesota winter hits!), or the actual classes. I have waited sooo long to get into school...why am I so nervous??? I'm still excited about starting...and I think I'll get over it once I get a routine going. **BREATHE IN...BREATHE OUT** lol. Thanks for letting me vent!! Good luck to everyone starting school!! Lord Bless...

I just had first orientation in semester 3 of 5. We'll have more orientation later. I have peds/OB and abnormal psych. I am nervous about starting peds, as those ahead of me say it's difficult. And, of course, I have the one teacher no one seems to like. I'll just take one day at a time. We start classes next week so I have some to "relax" before I go full force.
