Hectic...but well. I don't think I've ever heard ANYONE say that nursing school is going GREAT. LOL. Why is it that they don't tell us PRIOR to being accepted to the program how freaking hard it's going to be. I think it would scare a good majority of people off.<BR/><BR/>How is your class holding up? We started with 130 students at the beginning of the program and now just prior to closing out second semester we are down to about 85. That's 45 people either dropped or failed out. I'm scared but so far things are going WELL. LOL. Last semester I ended up wit a 3.94 but was stressed to the max and burnt out, I've told myself this semester I will be thrilled with all B's, no more pushing my self tothe brink to get all A's.<BR/><BR/>I have 2 more days of mental health (MH)rotation, this thursday and friday (and friday is a half day) and then I am done with clinicals completely for this semester.....all done until mid August! YAY!!<BR/><BR/>I have an adult health (AH)test next tuesday and then another AH test on the tuesday of finals week. A MH final the following day and then my AH final the day after that. It's gonna be tough but I think I can pull it off.<BR/><BR/>Sorry this is so long but I also wanted to add that I entered a student nurse extern (SNE) program at our local high risk womens and childrens hospital and I LOVE it. Even though working at least two 12 hour shifts a week can put me in a crunch fortime, I wouldn't trade the experience for the world. Working with the post partum moms and new born babies is a blast and to get paid for it to boot. When I graduate I will be guranteed an RN position on this floor. I am also on the list for a possible NICU promotion since I have been floating over there as well.<BR/><BR/>I hope you enjoy working over the summer. I can't wait to be JUST working and not studying and going to classes too. What a relief that will be.<BR/><BR/>Sorry again for the length of this novel. :o)<BR/>Dawnoveractive-imaginationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02721472341408506210noreply@blogger.com
