Orientation & Some!!!

Jell'o Everyone!!!

Orientation was awesome! Very exciting but a bit overwhelming. So excited to finally be an official nursing student. I made it this far!!! Overwhelming because well, this is nursing school. No slacking allowed.

Now to fast forward ... I've been a little behind trying to settle in to my new reality but I want to keep the blog as current and updated as possible.

I just finished wk 3 of nursing school. I start wk 4 monday and that's already half way through my classes. It's going insanely fast. Every other week I have an exam. I have quizzes and assignments every week and countless hours of studying. This is just the beginning and I'm trying to stay organized.
I purchased a notebook size calendar. I write in all the assignments. quizzes, exams etc. Once I complete them, I highlight them so I know they are done (these highlighters I found are AWESOME. They are gel and don't smear nor do they seep through the paper). Since my classes are 8 weeks instead of 16, it goes by extremely fast. I don't want to miss an assignment or an exam sneak up on me because I wasn't organized. I just completed all of my immunizations and am in the process of uploading all of my documents to become compliant ready come clinicals. Say goodbye to being choosy about flu shots! Let the sore arms begin. :( I still have a few months before clinicals but our due date is next month. Don't leave things for last minute. Oo and there's an entirely different grading scale. 75% and under is failing and assignments and quizzes DO NOT go towards that grade. Exam averages are weighed as one grade and everything else goes together. So far I've taken all the advice I've gotten and my first exam was a success! Prayers are more than welcomed :)

I'm going to be caring for REAL people and I've got to know what I'm doing. So, it won't be easy but I CAN DO IT! Cheers to the completion of week 1, 2, & 3!

Here's the pic of my calendar and the highlighters.
