Title: Starting school tomorrow............
Post by Kim Y. on Jul 17th, 2005, 1:19pm
Hey all just wanted to tell you all that I start RN school tomorrow and I won't be able to be on here as much.  I will get on daily to see how all of you are doing, support and vent a little with the CH.  Then hit the books.

I think my head knows that stress is on its way.  Work yesturday everything was a mess I never sat still all evening and did a lot of everthing.  By dinner bam had to reach for the trex.  It worked though and it was with the break down tip and I was able to work the rest of the night.  I did need Traz last night but am doing soso right now.  Work at 2pm.  I guess Stress and Sleep deprivation would be a problem for me. :'(

Well here goes nothing............PF wishes to all....Kim

and the knowledge accumulating.

in case you can't sit still to take notes.

You can do it!!

I never would have thought I could do it either - but I did!

Don't let other people freak ya out with the studying.  You know yourself, and just do what you have to do.  I used to get stressed just listening to people talk about studying, but I did just fine by keeping up with my same ole ways!

I'm just about to take my boards a week from tomorrow!!  So now I'm scared, too!!!   :o

You'll be just fine - make sure you check in!  Great support here for those days when you feel like you're banging your head against a wall for way more reasons than one!

Hugz,
Carrie :)

I went to school part time and had no problem with that last year.  This year I am taking one class each sememster.  I can do it!

Karla - I'm doing the same thing.

In September, I start with one class a semester - except for the first few classes, they are online!  Woohoo!!!!  Online classes!!  That's like heaven for me! LOL

I should have my neonatal nurse practitioner in a few years, but I'm in no rush.  I'm just beginning to learn about these little tykes now! :)

Good luck to all the school 'kids' here!

Carrie/Lizzie2 :)

Best of luck, Kim.  I know you can do it!  The more of us there are in the medical profession, the better.

I did nursing school the easy way - 19 yrs. old, prior to CHA's, and ready to learn a new career.  I truly admire anyone who takes that kind of education on at a later date.

Go, Girl!!

Two days down I feel more like an adult then I did in the LPN course.  Same when it comes to a ton of reading.  At least this year I can have a tape recorder for lectures.  That makes it nice.

Off to read before I have to head out to class.

Thanks all for the best wishes.  PF wishes to you all.  Take care....Kim

Yeah.....I never read!!!

I learned by taking notes, listening, doing online learning activities, and through clinicals.

I can't learn by reading a textbook - I don't get anything from it at all....


Just wait for the nervous jitters the first few weeks of a job!!   :o  Last night I participated in my first neonatal code.....Ohhhhhhhhhhhh not a pretty experience!  :(

But....you'll make it!  Just keep the end goal in mind! ;)

Hugz,
Lizzie :)
