Today I started the fall quarter of nursing school, which will hopefully be my last fall quarter of my undergraduate career. Two to go. I just started pediatric nursing with about 20 other people. It's pretty insane when you stop to think that last quarter there were only 11 of us. Double or nothing...Anyways, the madness of the whole nursing thing has definitely taken over. Our primary faculty member is apparently unavailable to start this quarter with us due to some sort of medical issues. Okay, I get it. No big deal, but meanwhile we're having to pick up the slack. Hmmm, not what I wanted to be doing at the beginning of the quarter with everything else that is on our plates. Oh well, I guess it's just part of the madness that is nursing school.
A couple of cool things happened today though. My Scotland Buddy from "woodend" and I got to reconnect and touch base to see what's going on with each other. The dean took over responsibility for a course I really wanted to see happen...I owe her for that one, and it occurred to me that in 6 short months I will be a nurse...yep...a full-fledged nurse. With credentials and everything. Well, that's assuming I pass the boards. I've got faith and Margie is my inspiration. If she can pass the bar in a state where the pass rate is 50% surely I can pass the boards in a state where the pass rate is 85% and graduating from a school where the pass rate is 100%. Whoo...enough moaning for now. I'm sure I'll have more to say tomorrow.
