Started my nutrition class and am trudging through that reading. Amazing how lethargic I feel when it comes to school--but I am LOVING summer. Wow, it has been great to relax, see family and play with the kids. I am back to working out and eating right and hope to see some scale rewards soon.
Supposedly we will get our senior check-off stuff in the mail detailing the pathos and procedures we will have to know and perform by memory. I want to get cracking on that. I am also hoping I find out my schedule soon and my clinical instructor. We have our 1st male professor and CI's this semester so I am nervous about that? The rumor mill has been active on them...
Saw a bunch of friends that graduated in May of 06 and they are all already burnt out on nursing after just a year in the profession . That was disheartening.
Gotta go read some nutrition text and work on a paper...

I wish I could have the same type of summer results!! I've been working my hiney off (AEB lack of posting) Glad to hear you are relaxing. I'm afraid of what next semester will bring. But we're almost there!! Keep having a good summer for both of us!!
Doesn't your nutrition class make you feel all inspired to eat better and cook with only fresh foods?
Yeah, that lasted about a month after my class was over. But I liked the class.
Happy Summer!
I went to a hospital diploma nursing school program that was three years condensed into two. We only got two days off, aaargh!---Christmas and New Years Day. So definitely enjoy your time off and whoop it up!
Don't let "horror stories" from people who already graduated scare ya. Although I will admit that the first year is tough, just think of it as the "finishing touch". You've got to get that year in to get into the swing of things and learn the "extra stuff" which wasn't taught in nursing school.
Each day, tell yourself that you know more than you did yesterday. And then tell yourself the same thing the next day....and the next...
And also, don't let the first year's torment from some experienced nurses (who get impatient with new grads) get you down. You will be a valuable asset--another NURSE! We need all we can get in this profession. I'm all for getting snappy, yet serious, and saying right up front: "Look--I may be new, but that's no reason for you to be rude to me. Could you please help me learn?"
