The Day Before First Class

Tomorrow I start my first nursing class YAYYYYYY for Fundamentals Ha!

So in the spare time I had today, I tried to read the entire first chapter... I'm only half way through. I would've been more excited to read if only my instructor posted our syllabus online. I'm guessing we're going to get a print out in class tomorrow. And the first chapter focuses on nursing history, the education required to become a nurse, changes being made in the nursing professional degrees etc. I'm telling my mom this morning like I started reading, but I don't think we're gonna be tested on the history of nursing. She's like well you need to know the history, who's the first ever nurse? She tells me Florence Nightingale which I had already knew. I'm just thinking to myself, she's been a nurse 35+ years, you remember that? Ha. So I kept on reading throughout the day... AND taking notes. I'm trying to get a good start on things because I am a procrastinator.

Besides that, I spent my day trying to clean house and arrange things for the babysitter. Laundry is calling my name.. blah. Luckily I still have this weekend to get things in order before the real stuff starts.

Last night I took my fiance and my baby out to eat. I was starting to get too overwhelmed, scared and anxious. I just wanted to not think about school and enjoy the little time I have left to just freeload.

A great tip I got from someone on allnurses was to organize the binder by weeks. I have a major issue with organization, and I'm always losing things, so I'm hoping this will work out well for me. I'm going to also try the same thing for my lab binder. On the back of my binder is my acceptance letter and the front are pictures of my baby.. my motivator..!!

On another note, still don't know how to get my blog out there.. hmm.. oh well, it will be neat to go back and read my experiences in nursing school and see how much I grow.
