Evaluation Eve

So, I sit here sort-of insecure for finals week. I took a pharmacology test today that was just as hard as the last one. Put in a much better effort studying and reading the chapters thouroughly. Still hoping for the magical pass percentage of 72%. That's all that matters in this program. Some of us can kiss the A's good-bye! Tomorrow we have our clinical evaluations. Basically a one on one with the clinical instructor (mine also happens to be the theory instructor) and get our pass/fail grade for our hospital rotations. Then the final exam for Nursing 1 is on Thursday. I can't believe the first nine weeks is over! This is pushing me and stretching me beyond what I expected. Its all good though. I am learning that I need a little bit more cheerleading than I thought. This crap is hard and I feel really dumb somedays. But yet this is the easiest it will be. Fundamentals of Nursing, basic care and vital signs, nothing too intense yet.

I'll let you know the verdict as I know what happens. But hopefully I'm moving on to Nursing 2 Beginning Med-Surg, nasogastric tube insertion, IV therapy, and actually administering medications in the hospital.
