This semester we are only taking three classes; Complex Med Surg, Mental Health, and Quantitative Research. We now have two clinical days so we get to be in the hospital much more which is good. Now that I am beginning to acquire some skills nursing is starting to become much more enjoyable. On Saturday mornings I am on the lock down mental health unit (which is a lot of fun) then on Sundays I am on the Oncology floor.
This Saturday we have a big Cardiac test in Complex, it will be our first grade for the semester and actually accounts for a total of 13% of our total course grade. I have been working really hard (my wife tells me to cut back on my study time) and it has paid off, I was able to squeak by the first two semesters with a 4.0 GPA. The program is front loaded so if I can pull off another decent GPA this semester I will really be in the clear.
I need to add some study tips on here eventually because I have found several things that really seem to help out a lot with learning the material.
