What a 1st week... test Monday morning

My first week of school was insane..

The first day we had computer orientation and then on the second day we had the NET test... which really took me by surprise. I had already taken it, but our teachers wanted to see where everyone was at- stressful!

Then on the last two days we went to our 2 clinical sites for their orientation (basically the same thing 2 days in a row)

In the morning I have my first test. YIKES!! It isn't counting towards our grade, but I don't want them to think I am stupid, so I have been totally stressing about it! It is covering nutrition, which I took this summer.

The purpose is to aquaint us with the taking tests on our computers. We have our first real test on Friday over body mechanics and skin integrity.

So, I have spent the weekend reading the material for next week and trying to review nutrition. And I am hoping the nutrition test doesn't throw me off.. gulp!

Thanks all!

My test was this morning and wasn't too bad, I fully understand why they wanted us to take a practice test before the real thing. I have NEVER used a laptop and had a few problems, I ended up skipping a few questions on accident because I didn't know how to use the mouse (?) pad properly.

I just finished reading my chapters for this week and looking through the study guide. Thinking about loading the cd, but I'm not sure yet.

I still need to review the material for lab, which is actually why I came to the computer.. couldn't resist checking in here first.
