Yesterday I had my very first test as a junior nursing student. Our prof had reminded us on the very first day of class that this test was coming up. I was nervous because this is a intimidating prof and a really important class- Health Assessment.
I studied (almost) all weekend for it and felt pretty prepared for the test on Monday. Now that I'm in the big league nursing program, I have to take all my tests on the computer to simulate what the NCLEX will be like. I'm reminded almost daily that it's never too early to begin preparation! We got our grades back last night and I am very happy with what I accomplished, though in the future I'm aiming for a little bit higher. It's so nice to have one test under my belt and have an idea of what the rest will bring.
The tests don't stop. I'm in the process of getting ready for another validation tomorrow and a test on Friday for Adult Health and on Monday for Pharmacology.
I haven't been all about studying. The boys made their first trip down to see me this past weekend. They picked me up on Saturday afternoon and we went to a Chicago Fire game. We made it just in time for tailgating and checking out Toyota Park. It was way cool and the Fire won!
I love when they come to visit me. :)
On Sunday we went to Palos CRC and then had our traditional brunch at Lumes. Joeli joined us for her very first experience at Lumes!
This year I am also experiencing living with two other nursing majors. Anna and Kathy have been life savers already in our adventure towards our BSN! However, we aren't together a whole lot as a suite due to different lab and clinical times and Justine is off at her own practices, labs, and cross meets. Last night our entire room was all together, so to celebrate our accomplishments and be together we made dunkaroo dip and watched The Lucky One.
Here's hoping for a continuation of a good week!
