Beginnings...

Megan decided that I needed to have a blog and that I needed to write about all my adventures in the nursing program.

Waiting for something is the biggest pain in the world. I was told when I turned in my nursing application in October 2009 that I would know if I was in or not by the end of February beginning of March 2010. Well the end of February rolled around and I still didn't know then the 15 of March passed and I still hadn't received a phone call or anything in the mail. I was getting really impatient (mom was too). So I concluded that I would just give up on waiting. I was telling my mother the next morning my conclusion and I am not kidding just like 5 minutes later after I stopped talking to her I got a call from the nursing office. They told me to come and get a letter. I finished getting ready then rushed over to the office. I was in!!!

However, that was not all there was too it. First: I had to fill out an acceptance letter, second: I had to get American Heart CPR certified, third: they needed a copy of my vaccinations and fourth: I had to have a medical history form filled out with a check-up to the doctor. This was a lot easier said then done. Good thing I was going home.

2 weeks later I got another call, I had to go pick up another packet and it happened to be raining that day also. I didn't take an umbrella because the wind was blowing so hard there was no point in taking one. The walk to and from the Clarke was really long, very cold, and very wet. This second packet was full of information about which classes I needed to take to graduate and info on all the ridiculous amounts of money that I would be spending on books for class and my scrubs for clinicals. Who would have thought that books cost almost $1000 and scrubs cost around $200. Not me!

My life is offically over...
