Nursing school is in full swing now. I am in the middle of what I call a test marathon. I have had two tests, and I have three to go. I feel pretty good about the tests I have taken. We will see how I feel when i get my grades back! Tests in nursing school are different from any other test I have taken before. All of the questions are a situation or a "what would you do?" question. I am hoping that I get a better grasp on how to answer questions like that.
Right now things just feel overwhelming. There is an extradornary amount of material for each class. I have been working hard to stay on top of the reading and all of the assignments. I cannot imagine how crazy things are going to get when clinicals start in a few weeks. As for now I am loving my two days off. I am spending the majority of that day covered in books, notes, notecards and study sheets, but it is nice to have those days to recouperate from Monday.
I decided that I was taking the night off because I just spent the last eight hours sitting in a classroom listenting to lectures and taking a test. (That's why the blog is getting updated!)
