I can't believe I am already at the end of my first Nursing class. Our final exam is tomorrow. I think I'll do fine on it. We had three tests, I made: 84, 86, 96. Yea! It truly has paid off to only focus on this and not try to get a real job. I miss the money though.

Each of our nursing clinical classes will be 7 weeks. Those weeks have flown by! The first course has clinical at the long term care facility. I was really dreading that. But it turned out to be a wonderful experience.

The rest of our rotations will be at hospitals. I go to one that is about 15 minutes from my house for the next class. It is a Med-Surg class. I'm scared, but I know I can do it. There is a "Caring Project" we have to do. Each clinical group of eight students will work together to complete this project. We have to do something that is caring to ourselves. We can not spend any money. It must not be tangible, but be sustainable throughout our two years in the program. Any suggestions??? I am compiling our ideas. Once we get our idea approved by the Dean we can start working on it.

I got my Communication paper back yesterday. I made an 87. I am not thrilled with that grade. Whoever graded my paper gave me zeros on a couple of the points. The rest I did great. We don't know who graded them and they don't know who's paper they are grading. It is such a mystery! Good grief.

Our next class starts this Friday! No rest for the weary!

I suppose I will get back to studying now.
