I think your instructor will understand the modesty part, but ask her privately if other arrangements can be made ahead of time.......don't make a big deal of it and I imagine they will be more than accomadating. Good luck! PS. It's really not that bad!

My class had 20 to start, 1 never made it to orientation, 1 where her father was very sick (he was the primary caregiver when she was working/school) 1 just a few weeks ago, 1 is in serious danger of failing. We are adding an LPN to the group after January, so 17 left-16 of the original 20. I am in an EVE/WE program where they only choose people who have done all prerequisites prior to being accepted. Only 20 slots.

Those people are the ones I hope end up being in a nursing home. I worked as a CNA for over 18 years and dealt with that kind of family all the time. I imagine it comes from the guilt of having mom or pop in a home to begin with, or maybe 'cause mom & pop's $$ is being spent instead of son/daughter getting it after they die! I'll never forget the day that a family member came up and asked why mom had to wait to be brought to the dining room for lunch, he was kind of ****** off that meanwhile a coworker was in cardiac arrest! He had the gall to say "Well, that was great timing!"

I will be starting school in the fall & want to plan ahead, so what do you wish you had studied a little more before you started Nursing 101? I am an older student, out of school for a while & have not taken any math courses since 1992. I am brushing up on some simple algebra & math calculations, fractions & such. I have heard from some nursing students in my pre-req classes that the math was killing them, there were some recent high school grads in the mix, so I am a little nervous. Can you list here some things you wish you had known before taking your first nursing courses? Thanks in advance!
