10/7 This week in PreRN I learned...

This week I learned....

-That hard work indeed pays off!

-I am going to have to leave my full time job come January for nursing school, and I didn't realize how attached I am to this place. I am going to miss it. I am lucky enough that we will be able to survive off of my hubby's income while I am in nursing school

-The heart is actually making sense to me now....but the arteries and veins...that is another story.

-I actually really enjoy A&P II. I think that it is because my professor is so awesome. She really enjoys teaching the subject and she really wants us to learn as much as humanly possible! I wish I would have had her for A&P I. Best professor I have had so far, hands down!

-I am nervous that I might be preggers, this morning I have had the worst nausea I have ever had in a long time. It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if I am because my husband and I have been actively trying because I didn't think that I would get into nursing school until Fall semester, but now that I am accepted for the Spring I just don't know if I can handle pregnancy and nursing school at the same time, but I will if I have too

-My classmate that got her rejection letter congratulated me on my acceptance and I thought that was very mature of her. She has gotten very discouraged though about her future, and I really don't know what to say to encourage her.....*sings Journey's Don't Stop Believing!*

-Then there was the facebook friend that posted a long drawn out status about how she feels like she hasn't gotten anywhere in life because she didn't get into nursing school. She gave the typical excuse..."I am a B, C student. I have never been an A student"

In my opinion, everyone is capable of being an A student, it is just harder for some than it is for others. I am one of those where I have to work very very hard and study long periods of time to grasp materials. My grades of A in my prereqs came with sleepless nights. You honestly have to work hard to get what you want. Hmmm...I probably should have responded to her status like this, but now that I think of it; she would have taken it the wrong way anyway.

What did you learn this week?
