Studytime!

Ok....well my first week of nursing school its over and i must say its going to be a long and crazy year!! i have classes 4 days out of the week and 3 hours a day! i will definitely be a busy woman. our first test is only a week away and it will cover alot of material. normally i'm used to half-assing through a course without studying until the day before the test. i always manage to make an A or a B but, that crap ain't going to work in this program. i try to study at least 2 hours a day but i might need to study even more than that. we also have a skills lab test next week. thats when you get tested on if you are able to dress a wound correctly on a patient. you have to do it on a real person as if you were a nurse. u get 2 chances to do it correctly, if you don't, you are out the program! wish me luck yall ! i know my hand is going to be shaking as i dress the wound.

anyhoo, in other news, i would like to wish everyone a happy martin luther king jr. holiday! i hope everyone (especially black folks) take the time to reflect on how much he has opened the doors for all of us to get the same respect as anyone else. its so crazy to me to think that 30 years ago, we were considered to be inferior to white people and therefore, didn't deserve the same privileges as them. have a safe king holiday and as always....be blessed.
