Hello every one! How is this semester going!

hello to all "old" posters and welcome to all "new" comers!

wow! is all i can say about this "fast-pace" semester! clinicals are great! we are rotating to md offices, surgery, and our floor is a "step down" (med/surg) unit.

through all the stress, god is still good and i would do this [school] all over again!

my daughter has been ill, but, she is improving. i don't see how some of you come here and post, go to school, work, family, and keep up with other areas of your lives!

i am so tired at the end of the day from getting up so early for clinical or staying up late studying.

we are having a test every week along with two clinical days and two lecture days. we have two more weeks left in our adult i class and if pass, it is on to ob/maternal nursing the last weeks of this semester.

i just wanted to say hello and much continued success to each of you, whether, pre-nursing students, contemplating nursing students, or nursing students, and others alike.

see you all soon! :kiss

I'm finishing up my pre-reqs with A&P II and Nutrition. I haven't had class all week b/c of the snow, so I missed my first lecture exam and a quiz in Nutrition. I can't wait until I start the 'real' stuff! Good luck everyone!

Hello to you!

This semester started out really well-paced and then *WHAM*! Everything hit the fan at the same time. oh well.

I'd be a lot better with it, but I got the flu. It's sort of difficult to study for your first test of the semester for Med/Surg and write a 12 page paper for pharm when you're unconscious...or is it just me? Anyone know how long this year's flu lasts?

Other than that, everything is going well. I LOVE my clinicals. We're on the cardiac/telemetry unit at a top cardiac hospital in the SE. The next two weeks I spend in Cardiac cath lab/Gastro lab/with Respiratory and in the OR. Can't wait!

Anyhoo. Wish me luck on Monday's test and I hope everyone else is doing well.

Well, I am taking 19 units this semester...trying to finish all the prereqs so I can (hopefully, if accepted) start the nursing program in the fall...I have Micro, Phys, Soc, Eng1A, and Nutrition. The nutrition will start next Tues...the prof had surgery, so took 6 weeks off. I am doing okay right now, and hopefully another class will not put me too far behind on anything. I've had 3 tests so far this semester (soc, phys, & micro) and so far have gotten highest score on all :imbar did tie for high score in Micro, tho.

Have 2 tests this Mon, 1 Mar 4, 1 Mar 6, and then I think 1 Mar 12, 1 Mar 13....:o :eek: :sniff:

If I can get through this semester, I can get through ANYTHING!! :chuckle

Good Luck to All!!!:saint:

Well, my semester is going pretty good! I did have a setback today...I tried my first IV start and felt like a total dope...it was a no go and I felt totally uncoordinated and retarded. Then my instructor tried and got it just immediately--like she could have done it with her eyes shut. Never mind that she has beeng doing them for 30 years--I wanted my first one to WORK so I can get past that fear!

At any rate...our med/surg rotation is almost over, psych coming up in 2 weeks. I want to get an IV started before I get to Peds for sure!

I'm so glad to be done with my nursing program. Seeing what you all are going through brought back those 'stressfull' memories.

Taking three classes this semester....but thank goodness they're on a NORMAL GRADING SCALE. Organic Chem is kickin' my hiney. That's OK, I kick back pretty hard myself. Whew!

Wishing everyone good test grades this semester!

Anne:D

Hi Stephany!

My first exam is tomorrow, but we have had quizzes twice a week since the semester started (Monday nights in lecture and Wednesday nights in lab). I did my first suctioning today in clinical...I know this sounds sick, but I thought it was majorly cool.:D I really should get out of here and go study. Good luck to everyone! :)

I can't believe how fast this semester is going by:eek: this last semester is so far a breeze. The current clinical I am in is BORING. I am doing a 4 week management clinical in a long-term care facility and there is NOTHING to do. The purpose of the management clinical is to shadow the nurse manager. I have only 2 more weeks left and then I will have a 3 week break before I start my very last clinical. We got to choose the area for our last clinical since we will be doing our senior capstone and I am going to be on a LDRP (Labor, Delivery, Recovery, Postpartum) unit. :D If things go well I may also have a job there once I graduate in May. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Wishing everyone plenty of success for the semester!!!
