The end of one road is near...

I have enjoyed fundamentals, and hope everyone does a wonderful job on the final.  Good luck everyone!

Less than a week of Fundamentals left...

Study, study, and study some more.  That just about describes all that I have time for at the moment.  I still am in shock that time has gone by so fast.  Before we know it, it will be spring 2012, and we will be getting ready to sit for the boards.  Woo-hoo!

Keep the good times coming....

I have to say, yesterday was one of my favorite days.  In class, I thought the food and presentations were amazing.  In lab, we got the chance to act out nurse/patient scenarios in front of the class, which turned out to be hilarious as well as a learning experience.  I am looking forward to our third day of clinical tomorrow, and am hoping for a great ending to a wonderful week.   

What week is this???

I keep losing track of the weeks.  It seems like time is flying by!  Anyways, I went to open lab yesterday, and felt that it was extremely beneficial.  I will probably try to make it a habit of going whenever I can.  Our clinical group goes to HealthSouth this Friday.  I am very excited about that.  Like I have said before, I love anything hands on!    

The halfway point for fundamentals...

We have successfully made it through the halfway point for Fundamentals.  I can’t express how happy I am that our midterm is finally OVER!  I plan on taking the night off, then starting on my paper tomorrow.  I am also hoping to get ahead a little by starting my notes this weekend. However, every time I think I am ahead, I find out that I am really two steps behind.  :/  Errgh!

Week three....already?

I can’t believe it’s already week three! WOW! I am a little nervous about how the questions on our first quiz will be worded. I am hoping the way I have been studying will help me answer the critical thinking questions appropriately. Friday should be real exciting. I am really looking forward to clinical, and I LOVE geriatrics, so I should feel right at home. I’m hoping for a great week!

Week Two, part two...

In addition to my battery dying on Wednesday, today I was driving down the road and my tire blew out on me. Luckily I was at my destination, and was able to park and walk out of my car in one piece. I really think Gary is my guardian angel this semester because as I had texted him to inform him of my “ironic blowout” two days after a dead battery, he informs me that he was on his way to school anyways, and ended up changing it for me. (Thanks Gary!)

I am hoping for a peaceful and relaxing night with Reed (my husband) tonight. I need a break from this bad luck streak I am on! On another note, I have discovered that I will be spending quite a bit of money on highlighters this semester. It has only been two weeks and my Fundamentals book has already sucked my pretty yellow highlighter dry! Oh well.  I hope everyone has a wonderful Labor Day weekend!!!!  Be safe!
