I have nearly a month off of school and after a crazy semester, I'm trying to figure out what to do with myself! So far I've got:
- work (whenever I can get hours)
- study 20-30 NCLEX review questions a day
- make a spreadsheet of local externships
- make a spreadsheet of recruiters for local hospitals (I have no idea where to find this information!) and any events they may have coming up
- read one whole non nursing book cover to cover
- volunteer
Anyone else have a long break? What do you have planned? I'm spinning my wheels here!
I'm studying for the psb, I think ? I readMaster the nursing school & allied health exam, biology & chemistry for dummies, math, vocabulary, and spatial testing websites. Still not sure what to expect. My best guess is that I will have unique questions on material I should have already learned 30 years ago.
I have 3 weeks off. For the first week, I worked 40 hours at my job (usually, I only work every other weekend), this week, I DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! It was glorious!
After this weekend though, I already received reading assignments and syllabuses from some of my classes, so I am going to get a head start on that.
I don't know what to do with myself. I'm going into my last semester in January and I am ready to start working! This winter break I have already read a good book "The Defining Decade by Dr. Meg Jay" which I believe is a must read for any 20something. There was a lot of holiday visits with family and friends. Other then that, I'm trying to relax...I honestly believe I don't know how to relax anymore.
I'm doing a lot of the same things others have posted. I've been working as much as possible. I'm a cna in LTC. I've been reading some for next semester but think I will start doing notes too. Volunteering is a good idea. I have a 13 year old and have been spending time with her, cleaning the house, watching netflix. I'd like to pick up a good book to read. I'm off until 1/21/2014. I work on Christmas stockings and sell them so I'll probably start one of those soon especially if I don't get as many hours at work as I'd like. :) I graduate in May.

Getting through some organization projects I can't do while in school
About to start getting through the ATI leadership and community health books, so that they're read before school starts (they're pretty short). I know I'll have other texts, so if I can have those read, I can easily skim them when the time comes for them to be assigned.
