My ADN program starts on Tuesday and I think it's just started to hit me. I must be insane to WANT to go through this!!! Last night I was organizing my stuff and putting my 132 page syllabus for Nursing101 into a binder and arranging it into weeks (15 in total). I was so completely overwhelmed at all that has to be done for this one class. I have two little girls (4year-old and one who thinks she's 2 already...but won't be for another few months). My hubby works 2 jobs, but is very supportive of me going to school. But I don't think he realizes what he's getting into either. I don't know when I'm gonna have time to read all that's required, let alone get all the papers and quizzes and other stuff done too!! I just keep telling myself that other people have been here and done this and survived! I guess I could really use some help from Moms who have made it at least through their first semester (though any words of encouragment from ANYONE would be greatly appreciated as well)! Class hasn't even started and already I feel like I'm sinking.... *blub blub blub*
(Oh, and another note that anyone can respond to - Are you required to wear a specific uniform? Our school makes us wear WHITE!!!! Hello? How dumb is that?! And they can't be "scrubs." I feel like I just need a little white nurse cap to pin to my head and I'll be good to go! Ugh!)
