First semester redo
I am currently at work, watching the minutes tick by slowly on my first day back at school. I’m calling it the first semester redo because although I passed the majority of my classes last semester, I’m still considered a first semester nursing student because of Pathophysiology.
So as I sit here, I am enjoying the first day so far, probably because of the freshmen. Most of us have been there, a timid, shy, and probably scared 18 year old (although some are older) who just left the comforts of high school.
I definitely remember my first semester away at college. I’m pretty sure I called my mom daily and oh yeah, I was a mess, but weren’t we all? The first year of college was life changing. I started out as a music major and then after that first year I knew it wasn’t for me. I love singing, but somehow singing for a career made it less fun and enjoyable. So I changed my major to Journalism and I now have a degree in Journalism, that I don’t use. Oh well.
Anyways, today I am sort of sad because I’m not with my friends as they journey into the world of Pharmacology, Research, and Intro to Nursing clinicals. Instead I will be learning about End of Life Care, Pathophysiology, Nursing in the Media, and Nutrition. All important, but not moving much down the path which I thought I would be headed. I hope that hard work will pay off and at the end of the semester I will be a second semester nursing student with clinicals next semester. I think the most frustrating part is knowing how well I did in everything else, but yet a 74.2 is going to hold me back. Ugh. Oh well.
So here is to another semester, hopefully this one will fly by and then it will be Christmas and before I know it, clinicals.
