Orientation

Published

Well I just got back from orientation.. Well actually it was more of a Welcome and ask questions session.. But it was really helpful and stress-decreasing...

The instructors seem GREAT!! They all have a sense of humor and were even telling us about some of their screw ups... One of them said when she went to do her first IM shot.. Hit the femur... :p

But they also had some of the students talk about the first semester and things that can be done to decrease the stress a lil bit.. They also have a mentor program.. Which they said is really helpful...

The instructors said the first week you will feel like we take you and throw you in the deep end of a pool and you can't swim.. But they say by weeks 3-4 you learn to swim and things get much easier..

So all in all it was a good day :D

boy I am really glad to hear everyone makes mistakes when they learn!

Helps me feel better about learning.

I have not started nursing school feeling a bit apprehensive because of the nervous and things.

It sounds like you have some great teachers!

Good luck!

I'm glad your orientation went well!!

I remember the excitement and anxiousness I had

at orientation, and it was great to know everyone

there felt the same:)

Keep a positive attitude, stay organized and dont

let anyone change your mind about nursing, its a great

career, with many rewards and many bumps..LOL

We also have a mentor program at our college, it has

been very helpful, I have 2 little sisters (1st yr nursing students)

and I would do anything to help them out!!

Best of luck to you! :)
