So I made it to nursing school orientation on Friday.  The parts that stick out most is that I was assigned the lab time and the clinical hospital that I wanted; and I learned all the various ways that I can be kicked out of the program.  They fed us some juice and granola bars, since we must be healthy people going in to health care.  As I looked around at my cohort, I noticed that there are a few who are morbidly obese, and when we had a break at least a third went out to puff on cancer sticks. Yup.  Good, healthy people.
I will be at a true nursing home for clinicals on Mondays and Tuesdays from 7 freaking early am to 1:30.  Wednesday through Friday I will have classes from 9 till noon, and on Thursdays a skills lab till 2:30 too.  Not too shabby. Planning to work a couple shifts a week at the assisted living home.  It has grown on me.
I have been battling a sore throat and fatige for six days now.  Think I have mono.  That would be like me.  The rest of the world is busy worrying about pig flu and I go get mono.  I already had it too.  Apparently it is a lovely little virus that likes to hide in your system and make an appearance to check how things have been in its absence from time to time.
Thinking about getting a tattoo.  Opinions?
