yep this night is my last freedom night to sleep, stay up, read a non-nursing textbook, and/or be a lazy bum which thus far I've completed all four. Currently in the lazy bum stage. Tomorrow night when I go to sleep I will wake up at 6:15 for adultII,community,peds,and pharmII. Oh how wonderful, I cant wait!! yeah right.
Anyhoo quoting a classmate, I wish I could either fast forward to 6 mos. later or just freeze time for a moment. But you know what? I'm gonna make it thru another quater. I'm half way there, once I complete this quater I'll be 3/4 in.
I am destined for success thru Jesus Christ.

I survived the 2nd term, 2 more terms to go.
Right now I am very blessed and am praising God for his marvelous blessings!
So this past week was finals week, where three of my grades was based on my final which was 40% and 10% for the infamous HESI(is a twin NCLEX but much harder). So I took the HESI for each topic( Maternity, Psych, and Adult) results following 92.9,94.0, and 89.4. I am very happy because at the end of this program there's a HESI exit exam which you must pass, even if you pass all your classes they wont let you graduate without passing that damn HESI. So if you pass the HESI which is way harder than the NCLEX, you obviusly will definitely pass the NCLEX which will preserve the schools rep of 100% of thier graduating students passing the NCLEX on the first try. Anyhoo, So passing this topis now made me feel really good. I was really trying to pass this term with a 4.0 but in the middle of finals week I started feeling as long as I pass who cares. But I slept it off and got back on the bandwagon. I think it's still possible. Two grades have been posted, Maternity I got an "A" for the class which I was very happy and most anticipated because obviously with a dream of being a midwife I would hope I knew my stuff to the 'T". I passed Psych with an 'A" which is supprisingly the clinical I enjoyed most. Two more grades left, took pharmacology yesterday and Adult taking 4eva putting their grades up.
Let me contemplate about this term, in the beginning I was determined to pass these classes but I guess I was still anxious with the knowledge of 2nd term as the one when the most people fail a class. I definitely didnt want fall into that statistic, b/c I dont have 3 months to wait out until the next group to come along and I damn sure and most importantly dont have the money to be forking out. I have just enough to complete this accelerated program with no stops. So anyhoo back on topic, after I took my last final yesterday which was pharmacology I called my sisters so freakin happy feeling like I did well and of course my ass cried. I cried because I made it, I cried because I did well. I really felt all the stress just fall of my shoulder. This quater was chaotic and I made it. I made it. I made it.
So as far as classed, maternity professors made it suck, the book sucked, and I think because this is a fast pace program I really didnt have time to sit and enjoy the topic, I just absorbed and went on to the next topic. The maternity clinical was okay but there was sooooo much down time, it was at a posh posh hospital where all the pregnancy was planned and majoriy in thier mid 30s all married, it was cute. But I dont see myself working in a posh posh hospital, I want to work in underserved communities. I want to be in a community health center and/or birth center. I want to be in the front line of giving prenatal care to minorites, I want to teach child birthing classes. I really have these ideas I would like to implement in the future addressing community women's health issues. So next term I definitaly will be loving Community Health Nursing. So I can not wait. I got peds also and heard thats one clinical with alot of down time oh brother. Oh yeah and of course Adult II, its cool with me as long as I got stuff to do which makes the time go by fast. We can not forget our beloved Pharmacology II.
So this is my week off meaning =SLEEP,FUN,SLEEP,NO SCHOOL STUFF,SLEEP,FUN until April 2 when I get back on the grind.
I MADE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)
