Well today we got the schedules for next semester. We have acute care at the hospital from Sept to Nov , two 12 hour shifts in OB and two 12 hour shifts in Peds ending with finals Dec 14th. Its so weird to see the goal so close, well goal #2. #1 was getting into Nursing School. #2 is getting my LPN and #3 is getting my RN. Everything after that is just gravy. It just seems so much closer, so much more real now. Ya know?
New word came in today on the last regular theory test that 10-15 of the 35 questions will consist of short answer questions. Nothing like ending the semester with a friggin' spoiler!
Oh well guess the next two weeks will be crazier than the entire semester has been. Lord help us with the final! We still have some stupid group project due that we are grading each other on for 4 point. Ultimately I think she'll assign the point how she see's fit. Its aways so subjective anyway... such is the nature of the Nursing School BEAST!
so do you have your LPN? working on RN? just curious that is what i am doing. i am already an LPN and start the bridge program this summer...graduate in 2010
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean! I cannot believe the light at the end of the tunnel is looming near. We have roughly 9 months left until the end. Will I really have the RN after my name this time next year?!? I certainly hope so!
ReplyDeleteWorking on LPN right now. Technically its a terminal PN program that ends in December with a graduation and ATT for the NCLEX-PN. But I am hoping to roll into Block 3 which starts the RN semesters in the RN program the school also has. But I am just so excited that I will be a Nurse either way!
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to see the light at the end of the tunnel. By next march I will be a graduate, ready to take NCLEX! Right now my short term goal is to work all summer as a nurse tech and learn lots!
ReplyDeleteMust be so exciting! Your hard work is paying off!
