Send A Man To Nursing School

Wednesday’s orientation was the “Course Orientation,” and today I went to get my badges made.  I’m officially a nursing student now
WOW. No course content, just some overview about what is coming and the rules around everything. You know, things like when lecture assignments are due, who to call when you’re late.

-Turn on the outside water spigot
-Start to step away, catching your foot in the coils of hose

…that’s how I would describe today.
Yea, definitely very exhilarating!
Wow, this is going to be a fun, exciting, and intense two years.  There is SO much, but it is going to be SO interesting.

I think I have everything ready to start the nursing program.    All I have left is to show up tomorrow.

YAY

Tonight was the last class of the last course of pre-req’s!
YAY
Only four more semesters to go!
Three very short weeks until the nursing program begins.  While not a vacation for me, it’ll be darn close.  SU has taken over most of the household duties, per our agreement, though next week we’ll share as it’s her first [...]
