Thanks guys! I will definitely remember the feeling. I absolutely hate being behind. I do everything I can to avoid being rushed. Everywhere I go I am always 15mins early. I'm probably not as far behind as I feel, I've read all the reading assignments twice. In lab they went over hand washing, putting on gloves and gowns, and setting up a sterile environment. I learned how to do all that while working at a vet clinic. I really hope I don't break down in front of everyone. I already broke down when I realized there was no way I was going to be able to make through the first lab(I was at home thankfully). I'm not one to miss class for any reason. Looking forward to six months from now when it is a distant memory.

Okay so the first week of nursing school is over. My week went absolutely horrible and I need to vent. I was sick the entire week and only made it to the first day of class (barely made it through that). Now i have to make up 6 hours of lab next week. I also have to attend clinical orientation and start clinicals. I feel way behind already and it is seriously stressing me out. I'm sure I can catch back up but this definitely isn't the way I wanted to start nursing school. how ever I am thankful that this happened the first week rather than later in the semester after clinicals started. Thanks for listening.

lol yea, the rolling backpack is quit tempting. I got three pairs just so I won't have to worry about doing laundry every night. But, i'm pretty sure 2 pairs is fine you'll just have to wash scrubs more often. I think the most important books right now are the set of med surg books. Those are the ones I was told to bring to fundamentals. Hope those are in cause I have a felling we are going to start really fast.

Okay, so we need our books. carrying these things is going to make me buff.

Yeah ill prolly bring them too! Maybe i'll email diane and ask her. I just got nike walking shoes that are white leather. I dont think it matters as long as they are white leather. Walmart would prolly be the easiest.

Does anyone know if we need to bring our books to class or not?

Yeah and when i turned in my tmh one the lady that took it said the same thing

I got mine at g willies it took about 3 weeks. I want to say they were about $30 a piece but I'm not 100% because I also got the fleece jacket which is a little more than the scrubs. Also the TCC bookstore said the nursing books will be in about the 2nd week of december

The nervousness is starting to set in! I think the reality that I am now a nursing student is finally hitting lol still super excited though!

3.9 GPA WOW! It doesn't sound like you will have any problems to me. College courses aren't easy for anyone. everyone has to spend many many hours studying and pulling their hair out. I think you are up to speed with everyone else if not beyond. be proud of that 3.9 not many people do that well. Good luck!

Congrats nanny! I've already taken the CPR class as well. I just finished my shots and took my drug test yesterday. Going to get uniforms on Saturday. So excited!!! See everyone on Friday.
