You'd have to pry my nanny from my cold, dead fingers :) The only thing I'm concerned about is I keep hearing how new grads can't get jobs. Any new grads who have gotten a job pretty soon after graduating?

Hi! I'm in my 3rd term, Peds. Two more classes to go! I also have two small kids, ages 3 and 2. I have found a great nanny that comes to my house to watch them. My schedule for this class is: Test every other Monday 1:45-2:45, Lecture Tuesday 8-12, C...

Aw, poor lady. What experience, though! Where are your clinicals? Mine is at Baptist Downtown and it's a medsurg floor. We start tomorrow.

Wow, congrats on getting through that stuff! How were the patients?

Aw, our poor thread. Such a sudden turn for the worse... Yeah, feeling overwhelmed, understudied, and generally confused. What day is it? Don't even ask me. Techniques Sim, techniques final, clinical start, pharm final. My head hurts just to type it....

Sorry to hear that, Mel. I'd be interested to see the tests and what adjustments were made.

Amen, sister.

I know, I have Thom for concepts and we're pretty bewildered much of the time. I read over pharm yesterday and wonder how they got to the conclusion that self-study pharm (really) would be best. I can't wait til December. It's going to be a long seme...

Hi guys. Whew! Our first tests are over! At least the grades will be up tomorrow. How does everyone feel about it? I think we all did fine. Going to read concepts... Have a good night y'all

Hey Melanie, sorry for your waiting. That's got to be frustrating. Let us know as soon as you find out, though. Finished the library dosage calc papers today and they were fairly easy. It gives me confidence for Monday! Yea! We went on a company picn...

Yeah, I was just thinking that. No dosage calc on the quiz for me either. Just the 40 questions. They might all be a little different so we can't do it together or something.

Thanks, Lisa. Kate (my baby) is all snuggly this morning so that's nice. I'd feel awful if she was at a daycare today and may not be snuggled with but my nanny is coming and she'll definitely snuggle! I'm glad you can come to the degree audit later. ...

Hey guys, well, I'm not sick but my baby is. Same fever the older one had last week. She's snuggling on the couch with some juice and her Pooh Bear. So sweet. Wasn't so much fun interviewing my mom. Well, I take that back. It was too much fun. For th...

I had so much fun with you too Megan! You have a very happy face it makes me happy just to see it. More laughs to come (especially with the blood pressure cuff. I'm officially a moron.) I've got my pack of medterm flashcards and am set for a fun week...

I'm Jessica, the one who lived in Alaska and has two little kids. Also, the one who knows you from somewhere, darn it! I'm still trying to figure it out... I did my medterm last night. Not as bad as I thought. I read, did the exercises (my hand was k...

I've got family function that afternoon. Section 11 is pretty good so far, but we'll see on Friday how it goes. I've heard some things... I really can't wait to start clinicals. The whole nurse thing will seem real to me then. Oh, when instructors ta...

I'm in section 11 and live in Macclenny (cue the crickets). I still hold out the hope of carpooling but it's doubtful. I've been reading too and some of this stuff is going to seriously challenge my love of reading. Today is a long day (gone from 12:...

Glad you had a nice weekend, Megan. Had a pretty good one, too. Hosted a friend's birthday with lunch and pictionary. Guess I'll be kissing a lot of social things goodbye now. But I'm excited, too. Welcome Lisa - I'm in section 11 as well. See you...

I've read the dosage calc stuff but the frustrating thing is that I don't know what to expect. Every first test is like that, not knowing exactly how hard the tests are going to be. I'm not sure if I've studied it enough but don't want to kill myse...

Maybe they don't realize that most of us picked our sections bases on times and locations. I know things change but I didn't realize they could just change things like that.

Hi Roshel! I have a son, Jack, who just turned 3 and a daughter, Kate who is 15 months. I'm grateful to have a wonderful young woman as my newly found nanny. My kids are great sleepers and go down at 6:30. It's my saving grace! Roshel - people who wo...

Ok, I'm feeling sheepish:imbar I just read that part in the handbook about the calculators. I haven't really gone through my skills kit because I don't want my kids walking off with bits of it!

Does anyone know are we allowed to use calculators? I was going to buy one but realized I didn't know. That would help with the fractions... I'm excited and nervous about starting. It's going to be tough to juggle with small children (kudos to you...

Section 3 got slammed with the changes. I'm grateful section 11 hasn't changed (sorry bossladii) because then I'd have to rearrange childcare. Is anyone else having 7th grade flashbacks with the fractions? I know I'll make stupid mistakes now like...

Michael - lol, we didn't think that of you! Everyone's been so helpful. I, for one, am still pretty blissfully ignorant but thanks for the advice and willingness to help.
