Here we go!

Well, tomorrow's the big day. Class starts for me at 0830. I'm a little anxious, but I'm also excited. First off is N300...Professional Nursing. This class meets 3 times a week, plus a 5-hour skills lab on Thursday. We'll be learning skills like how to maintain a sterile field and how to properly make an occupied bed. The second half of the semester, we'll be doing our FIRST clinical at the hospital. I'm fondly referring to this clinical as the Pee, Poop, and Puke clinical. Or P Cubed. I guess it's supposed to get us used to all those, um, not-so-pleasant bodily things. Hooray. Also, this semester we take our dosage quiz and get to begin dispensing medications. My other class is Pathophysiology. I'll admit, I'm a little intimidated by this class. It's taught by Nurse Rockstar, who knows everything there is to know. Except maybe pro football. And she will be expecting us to know all of that too. Lucky for me, Kenny can fill me in on pro football, so I should have my bases covered. We'll see.

I spent the past week writing a research paper on pediatric asthma. This paper is for Nurse Rockstar's class, and I don't exactly have the topic approved yet, but I'm hoping she'll be all right with what I chose. I just wanted to get ahead if at all possible.

And so, the fun begins tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes!
