I lost 2 whole study days this week. On Sunday, after a tearful conversation with Todd, and then yesterday I got hit with THE biggest migraine of my life. Those migraines are KILLERS. I was in so much pain and agony I couldn't even cry. Meds were no help ( Read more... )

I aced my first exam. When I say ACED, I mean I got an 80%, which is spectacular for an 11 page exam that isn't all multiple choice. I didn't miss ANY of the osmolality problems, which is great. I really struggled with those for a while. The class mean was 76 ( Read more... )

I've finally figured out that I'm too old for this nursing school thing. This week has been annoying as fuck. Yesterday, we took a quiz. This ditz spills her 16 oz. coffee on her quiz, and all over the floor.

Summer is a busy time.
I haven't mentioned school in a while...I guess you could say that I needed a break from even thinking about school. My last final was on May 20th, and I haven't cracked one nursing related book or magazine open since. I feel good about having completed one year of school, though this last semester felt like a total wash. My ( Read more... )
