Day 3. I got myself pretty worked up today. I know I should never allow myself to become worked up, especially over nothing more than the first week frustrations of “figuring it out”, but I did. I was on the online program for testing and quizzing etc….. and I spent about 2 hours going through the lessons that are posted. They were on note taking, basic study skills and yes verbs apparently. That’s when I lost my cool. “Which of these verbs means that you should describe different points of view?” What difference does it make? There is no such verb that describes all of that without the sentence. If there IS such a word, only an English professor could find it. Am I in nursing school or not????? Choose your college wisely people. That is all I can say. You get locked in where you are because you don’t want to repeat or take different prerequisites somewhere else just to be accepted into the program you really want to be in. Changing colleges costs you a lot of time and money if it’s not done the smart way! So I was locked in to this college and I stressed all summer about the program I don’t want to be apart of, however I want my RN and I want to be a good nurse. The only upside to this that I can see right now is that IF I pass this, there’s a huge track record of previous graduates being top nurses. I guess the more BS you put up with, and the more soul sucking you go through, the better nurse you will be. So congratulations to this college for providing such a TOP of the line program. Now I’m wondering if these petty assignments are required or not, but when you’re new to a system and they don’t give you any training on it because LPNs from their school already know what they’re doing; those bogus assignments look legit. I stopped trying to do these, obviously because I have actual nursing things to learn like what to do when someone’s lab values are off. The only thing that has saved my day was when another RN student invited me to her house down the road, and we were able to study some together. I am already so thankful for her, and I think we will be good friends. After that I feel ok again. I guess I’ll be alright . -I’ll be alright
