Well, thank God’s THAT’S over
After taking my final exam in Nursing II….well, after not studying and taking my final exam on Monday, I passed. I wanted it to be over and picking up my books and study notes made me physically ill. However, I obviously internalized enough information to give me the points I needed on the final to get over the hump. Do I wonder how much better I would have done, had I studied? Hell, no. It’s over. Moving on. I will miss all the instructors, though. They have the toughest job in Nursing school – taking Nursing I “babies,” and turning them into Nursing Students, with a higher degree of confidence and autonomy. It’s a tall order.
Now, I’ll take a much needed break for a couple of weeks. I decided to teach one more Zumba class for the year, and really take a vacation from everything. I want to go into the next semester with a clear mind.
Nursing III, I hear is “easier.” The material is more complex, but the course structure is more organized and logical. I know that will work in my favor, because I collapse helplessly in the face of chaos. I am happy I will be testing in the privacy of the Testing Center, and not with the rest of my class. That alone, played a big part in my success this semester.
Right now, I’m looking forward to the bliss of having “nothing” to do. I’ve got dates with a bunch of e-books and already have my reading list for my first exam in Nursing III. Guess which readings I’ll do first?
It’s still Hannukah, right? Happy Hannukah.
