Preparing for Nursing 101

Yesterday evening I went to the bookstore to pick up my textbooks for class. Holy crow!!! I asked for a box, because the bags were just not going to cut it. I picked up 9 of the 10 I need for this ONE class. Three of the books are approximately 2.5 inches thick and all I could think of was "I hope I don't have to carry anymore than one at a time to class." I'm already looking into a rolling crate to lug these bricks around!

Today I decided I needed to review Fundamentals of Nursing and the several reading assignments sent to us over the summer. I took a post-it pad and flagged the pages and material I needed to review. I'm not even a third of the way through my reading but I already am very excited to get to class Monday morning and review the material in class. I've already taken out the trusty hi-lighter and marked up my textbook.

What I enjoy about this book is that they added "Through the Eyes of a Student" stories and its relieving to see that other people with my same passion for nursing had that "What was I thinking?" feeling and still continued with their dream because they grew from the experiences that they thought initially would have them throwing in the towel. I look forward to clinicals and learning from my own experiences.

One step closer!

It has been a while since I've posted. So much has happened in the past year! I rocked AP2 and thoroughly enjoyed the studying.....Who said that?? Best part of it all is I MADE NCC's RN PROGRAM!!!! Woo hoo!!! Party time

I busted my butt and it paid off. I'm so proud of myself. It's almost time to get back to classes. August 22nd is day one of Nursing 101. The reading assignments are already coming in and the list of books I need is a mile long. I look forward to diving in and learning more. While I will miss my amazing Anatomy and Physiology professor, I look forward to meeting my new professors and classmates. I am sooooo ready for the next step closer to my dream!



BRING IT ON!!!!
