Guest guest Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Well, had my appointments for school today... going back March 1st, baby! =D Wow wow wow. I'm so happy, excited & scared lol. And still can't believe they did get me in March 1st! I was really expecting April or later. Wow, what a relief... a scary scary relief haha. I have a LOT to do before the 1st. I have to take my dosage calculations exam again tomorrow (no biggie, the math has not been a problem at all), then meet with financial aid after that. I have to set up benchmark exam reviews (We use a system called ATI to help prepare us for state boards, so we have to take benchmark exams every month or two.) I had a benchmark the last month I was there and did fine but it's all good. The head of the nursing program said even if for some odd reason I don't meet the mark they want me to, it's ok, I can still enroll. They will just have me do some remediation with the ATI instructor. So I am a little nervous about that, but it will be ok. Nothing wrong with getting extra help if I need it. I also have to get checked off on my skills again from the last month I had classes. Again, no huge deal. Though I did tell her I'd like to do another practice medication pass since I will be passing meds at clinicals from here on out. I have made the phone calls & sent emails to the people I was supposed to contact... now, just have to get the rest of these appointments set up! I'm going to be one busy lady the next 2 weeks! They were happy to see me and glad that I am coming back. They also said I looked great and looked like I felt a lot better hehe. I sure do feel a lot better! The head of nursing said, " So glad our 4.0 nursing student is coming back! " That made me feel good! Thanks again to everyone for listening & offering support. Going back to school has been so difficult for me, yet so rewarding & I love every second of it. I think it's been difficult because I had so damn many road blocks from nada... not letting me go to school, then not letting me take out any student loans... not encouraging me at all... telling me I was stupid, etc. I'm sure you all can relate because you have nadas, fadas or both =( It's actually going to happen... If I stay on track I will be finished at the end of October & take my state boards in November! HOLY COW! Thanks again guys =) Mia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 And you wasted all that good worry! Lol Nada s teach us to be worried and fretful about everything in our life. Part of our healing is learning to relax and be calm and confident. You go girl friend. Doug > > Well, had my appointments for school today... going back March 1st, baby! > =D Wow wow wow.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Hi Mia, Just want to wish you luck. I went back to school in my 30's to become a nurse and went all the way and got my NP degree too. I wanted to be a nurse from when I was a little girl, but my Nada told me it was too hard and hinted I was not smart enough. She talked me out of enrolling several times. I was living 3000 miles away and finally did it. When I told her she said " I don't want you to be a nurse. " I replied that I knew that, and finally did it b/c I had moved so far away. It's a great profession. You will love it and will be so helpful to your patients after what you've been through. Good luck, maureen Subject: PHEW!!!!

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Wow Maureen, did we have the same Nada? And good for you for going all the way up to NP! That's my long term goal... we shall see. I had applied for a nursing program when I was 19, was accepted and very excited. I told nada & she said, " YOU a nurse? I wouldn't want YOU to take care of ME! " . So, yet another dream squashed by the nada. I'm 33 now, will be 34 when I graduate in October. I hope I can go to the NP level!
