This semester of nursing school is IN.SANE. The amt of work and material is mind numbing. My first exam is Thursday and I've barely had time to study! (although I've gone to about 6 hours of faculty led tutoring hours which were AWESOME and honestly helped me "study" better than if I was just sitting home on my own.) The test is on surgical skills (lol mostly drains and post op things), IV skills (the hardest!!), and then a few questions on fever.
Today was my orientation at the hospital for clinical; this semester is med-surg and I'm on a floor that primarily does gynecological oncology surgeries (lots of hysterectomies!) I'm SO NERVOUS but excited about it too. Please pray that I don't totally suck at it. My clinical time is from 6:30am-3:30pm so it is an early and long day. Today I was up at 4:30am and didn't fall asleep till midnight last night before of nerves. I crashed and burned when I got home.
I skipped WW yesterday :( I was soooo tired. And I know I gained. Monday nights are just such a terrible time for me to go to meetings since I have clinical super early Tues morning. The other time at that location is Weds nights which STILL isn't very good since literally every other week I have an exam Thursday morning and I am going to be CRAMMING on Wednesday. I wish they met Thursday nights. I have a sinking feeling I'll stop going; I just don't have the freaken time in my life, at least for that location. I haven't even been tracking my points, its like a joke to me now. If anyone reading has ever been to nursing school, I know you understand. If you haven't, then you're lucky lol.
