Here's Where I Am...

Okay, so I got inspired to start writing about my nursing school experience because I often get questions about how I'm studying or what it's like. Ergo, I'm going to write. It's going to be a fun ride!

I figured I should start with some basic information about myself. I'm a 31-year-old married mother of three who has lost her mind and decided to go back to school. I want to be a nurse! I have an uber-supportive husband named Kenny who is basically a rockstar.

I enrolled last year at Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas. It's a great school with a faculty that, so far, I really adore. I've spent the past year and a half taking pre-req's, which include exciting titles like Anatomy and Physiology I and II, Introduction to Cellular Biology (which we fondly call Baby Cell), Chemistry 114,
Human Nutrition, and Microbiology, which was my favorite! Look up Enterococcus Faecalis sometime...it's pretty much the bomb bacteria. (Mostly because it was my unknown.)

So now, I'm gearing up for my second spring semester, where I'll be taking Pathophysiology and Professional Nursing. Also, I'll be in a Healthcare Ethics class. More on these classes later.

As I start this blog, I am mindful that even when I've (finally) graduated, I will still be a student. So, I welcome any and all helpful tips, tricks, anecdotes from you nursing people out there. Keep 'em coming!
