I Will Survive

DunDunDun... I survived my first week of Nursing School, minus one class (MLK Day). Surprisingly... it was a lot better than I expected. I'm not quite so nervous anymore. At 7-9:30 on Wednesday and Thursday I had Pharmacology. Luckily we don't have to memorize a million drugs... just about 10-15 of some common ones (aspirin, etc). We have to know what it does, when/why you give it, what happens when you give it, the trade names, generic names, etc. That shouldn't be too bad. Of course, there's much more to the class... but as long as I study and read regularly, I should be fine. :) My first test in there is Thursday... eek. From 1:30-3:30 on Wednesday and Thursday I had my Health Assessment class. Basically we are learning about doing patient interviews, doing head to toe assessments, collecting patient history, etc. etc. Not too bad, either. Yes, it's just the first week... but at least my instructors aren't hardasses!

Other than that, I am ready to relax for the weekend. I've been staying in Scottsdale since Tuesday with no Internet access(God forbid!), and I worked last night... time to sit around and watch a movie. :)
