   Over the summer, my own self-guided course in PE. It seems that school has put some additional weight on me and oh do I feel it. Being fat and turning 50 doesn't sound like two things that I can allow to happen together. So for the summer, the books are out and the bicycle, the beach and weight training are in. I'm trading in my whites for bare feet walking in the surf except for the one 12 hour shift I work a week as a tech.
   
   When I come back in the fall, I hope to be a lean mean OB student machine. I'll also have a second med-surg rotation for the second half of the fall. Theory will taking on 8 hours a week focusing on pathophysiology. There will be two required personal wellness courses (PE) as well. One is theory and the other is doing. Apparently our school is focused on nurse heal thyself.
   
   Have a great summer whether you're in the books or working or just hanging about.

   This summer I will taking Microbiology from 6p-9:45p for 10 weeks and this fall I will be starting my clinicals. I don't know the fall schedule yet cause orientation isn't till August. Will let you know then. Oh...I am also working as a CNA. I will also be trying to get everything I need before I start clinicals in fall like my CPR cert, Hep B shots, etc, etc, etc!

   Summers here are way too short to spend on summer classes.
   Getting my CNA certification through a new job and looking forward to a full course-load in the Fall. That should get me through my pre-reqs and onto real nursing school. Yikes.

   In about 3 weeks I start OB & Peds along with a computer course and human growth & development for a total of 17 semester hours over a 7 week period. Needless to say, I am enjoying my time off while I can because I'm really going to be busy when I go back. Then I'll have a month off and then it will be back to school for the Fall.
