Well orientation was a success. I surpsingly learned quite a bit from one speaker, the rest were pretty lame. I don't know what it is but for some reason I am feeling super confident about this attempt at nursing school and I know I am going to be successful! I felt a little awkward because it seemed everyone seemed to know each other already and were already buddied up and then there were a few like me who were just there. Hopefully that will not last long. I am already having to prepare for a test for the first day of school and another test for the first Friday. I want to make sure I do good so today I made the notecards to study for the first day test and even though I am at work, I am about to start reading my book to prepare for the Friday test.
Speaking of books, I went and bought my books yesterday and holy cow! $1300 later and I still dont even have them all yet. Its going to definitely be a rough year financially. I have to go spend between $120 and $150 on scrubs that are required too. I did however speak with a nursing recruiter for the hospital I want to work for and we have been in contact about me working as an on call CNA while in school that way I can be making some money, and more an hour than I make at the hotel. Hopefully it happens!
I am just at this point of where I am nervous about it all but also super excited and ready to dive on in. I just keep telling myself "yes its going to be a hard year but its only one year and it will be very worth it in the end."
