So I've been screened, immunized, poked, prodded, evaluated, & registered. The only things remaining on my Nursing School check-list: take CPR class in June; buy uniforms (sew on school patches), stethoscope, pen light, 24 hour watch with second hand; research medical insurance; and write thank you's for my scholarship.


I'm also getting closer to selecting a departure date for leaving work. May not know exactly until I see my course syllabi at the end of this month...but it's looking like second week of August. My only question is when will final exams for each class happen? Nothing like trying to train someone to do your job while your brain is really focused on wanting to study for exams! I could leave earlier...but I do want a paycheck and insurance for as long as possible.


Here are the classes that I am registered for this summer: 

• NUR 226 Health Assessment (2.0): Teaches the systematic approach to obtaining a health history and performing a physical assessment. (10 weeks) 
• NUR 100 Introduction to Nursing and Health (1.0): Introduces concepts of nursing and health. Includes historical and cultural aspects, legal, and ethical responsibilities and an overview of health and the health care delivery system. (First 5 weeks) 
• NUR 135 Drug Dosage Calculations (1.0): Focuses on apothecary, metric, household conversion in medication dosage calculation for adult and pediatric clients. Provides a practical approach to learning to calculate and prepare medications and solutions. Includes calculating intravenous flow rates. (Second 5 weeks)
