The Insanity Begins..

Well we are officially a week and 1/2 into my last semester of nursing school and I can say with confidence that I am stressed. I never cease to go crazy the first 3 weeks of school when they over load you down with everything to expect throughout the semester, the quizzes, tests, assignments, and projects, but for some reason this semester seems a little different.

One of my classes in particular has a project that accounts for 50% of my grade. While that in and of itself tends to stress me out it gets worse... we went over what all it entails today, and while the 15 page paper with tables and appendices and annotated reference page doesn't bother me THAT much the fact that the 28 page packet in which our teacher used to explain the project to us was so confusing. I am pretty positive that I will have to read it 4 times before I will fully understand the project and by then it will be Tuesday when I will have had to post my first part of my draft!! Everything is just coming and starting so fast this semester since our classes end so early because of our role section for the last 6 weeks.

I am excited about my topic for the project and that should help I just hope that I'm able to pull off a decent grade since it is HALF of my grade in this class. No big deal right.

Well other than that I have been preparing for my skills validation on Friday which I am kinda nervous about. I haven't done this stuff for a grade since Fundamentals and the masterys stressed me out then too! Hopefully they will go smoothly and we can get this semester going.

I'm ready to start applying for jobs and find a place to work :) Although I can't say I am not terrified about the interviewing process...

Thoughts and prayers would be greatly appreciated throughout this whole semester because I can guarantee I will need them.
