Quarter 1 done!


  • I finally finished my long awaited 1st quarter of nursing school. So-so-so glad its over. We lost about 8 of 80 students this quarter-maybe even more after the last midterm. Folks were dropping like flies.
I'm a little disappointed in my 'B' average for the quarter (normally I am a 4.0 student). I wonder if anyone got A's in both nursing classes. It's pretty tough with balancing work (not in the med field), home (son 13 and fiance) and school all at the same time. I am so glad I finished my general ed requirements. I can't imagine taking Anatomy or something else at the same time.

Next quarter is the OB rotation. I am exited! It is a bit dampening that they have not posted the da-gone clinical site list yet. Could be Monday or Tuesday - day or evening. Could be OSU - could be Lancaster - who knows!

I continue to send out resumes and hope someone will give me a break. It's pretty tough to switch careers. I depend on faith at this point. I know He has a plan for me - I just can't see it yet. So I just keep putting one foot in front of the other. when the time is right he will let me know.

iLL post my story of how i got into nursing school in a bit.
i work in the ER at the moment and ive been logging in back to back 12 hour shifts because i don't want to work full time in the fall.
currently, med surg 2
we are on a block curriculum.
that's third semester of five for me.
we don't have summers so i won't grad til dec 2009
crossing fingers

first cut - 60 students down to 44 due to pharmacology
second cut - 44 students joined by 6 repeaters, but original group cut to 19 after med surg 1
third cut - original 60 students down to 8 after math & clinicals =[

Congratulations on taking that leap of faith! I think you will find yourself challenged in a way you never thought possible but you will also discover you will grow in ways you never thought possible. Remember to take it one class at a time and before you know it, time will have flown by!!!
