That's awesome to hear! Wasn't actually following but I'm glad it all worked out!:)

I just finished my first year and I don't remember much. All I can remember is that we introduced ourselves to each other and that we just started the lessons after that. Oh wait, we got some handouts and outlines but nothing overly exciting. Didn't stop me from being enthusiastic though!:)

I always knew the 'Room of Requirement' was real! I just wished that when it was needed, there was time to use it. 😥 - Harry Potter joke for those who don't know. 😄

I'm not a nurse yet or a final year student either but you shouldn't worry about other people who got awards and didn't deserve it. You should just focus on the fact that you finally did it and graduated after all that hard work. End on a high note and not a low note. Focus on the positives and be excited about the future like now that you have graduated, where are you gonna work and which department and the fact you'll meet new people and maybe have new friends, etc. It sucks that you didn't get an award but you graduated though and not many people can say they graduated nursing school. Besides, life is too short to worry about what you can't control.

Hello allnurses.com, I haven't been posting much since I've been busy lately but I'm currently in my third and last semester of Nursing school. Second semester was pretty good since I got pretty good grades for the hard subjects and first semester ended. ((((By the way, anyone in their third semester of nursing now or anyone willing to give me tips, please do! I'm doing Health Promotion and Foundation (not fundamentals - totally different thing) of Nursing this time so any help would be great before classes start.)))) My school is kinda slow on the grades thing so I got back my first semester GPA last week. In the first semester, if anyone read my (rant) post, I had a low grade with a course and I had to do it over. I did and my final overall grade was 70 which is the lowest passing mark. It was sad but I'm glad I managed to pass it and didn't have to resit it again. My first semester GPA, even with the C, turned out to be a 3.5 which is pretty awesome to say the least. Kinda goes to show, one C in nursing school isn't the end of the world. So, I'm happy and excited when I'm hit with a bomb of a project in a course with us being the 'guinea pigs' to see how well the course will go. Lucky us. So we have nothing to go off of (no format or anything), teacher gives us freedom to do whatever and I'm panicking. Luckily, we have a kicka..! librarian to help and stuff gets done. Basically surviving the first hurdle of the last semester feels awesome but I know it can change in a minute. So school is good...for now. Again, tips would be great. So, thank you and goodnight! *bows and nearly falls over*

Welcome to allnurses! í ½í¸„

The patient asked for her best friend so here he is!

Thank you for that. Your respect for the profession really shows. Hope computer engineering works out! Your gender will be missed but from what I have read so far...you not so much.

I'm not sure if you know the subject but it's Written and Oral. It's sorta like English Language.

It's accredited. I made sure before I attended.

The subject had no textbook. All we had to rely on was the syllabus and slides and activities we did in class (which came from the syllabus).

I started nursing school this September at age 19 but birthday was in October so I guess you could say 20. I would have started earlier at like 17 but I did three years at college to be a doctor not a nurse. In the end I didn't have the grades (or finances) to be a doctor but I wanted to go into healthcare so nursing was the next step.

Congratulations on being accepted! Try to relax! It's your first day! If anything you need to focus on is being friendly with your class/batch mates. Try getting to know everyone and building good relationships. Also, I'd also recommend making a group email or WhatsApp group at the start to making studying together and sharing of notes easier.

*plays entrance music* I have survived the first semester of nursing school!! :D It's official as I have finished my final exams, I got the courses I'll be doing next semester come January and I am now on Christmas break. It was a wild ride, with some ups and downs. I loved and excelled in Anatomy and Physiology (as I knew I would:cool:), I excelled in Biochemistry, did great with Info technology and for Written and Oral Communication...well, it could have gone smoother. But that is all in the past, right now it's party time! Although I'm curious, who else is a survivor of the apoca- I mean, nursing school? How did final exams go and how was the semester for you?
