So I survived my first day of nursing school

• I’ll be in school from 8-4:30 Tuesdays and Thursdays
• In the same room
• With the same people
• And then Wednesdays from 1:00-4:30
• And Fridays from 8:00-1:00
• In the same room with the same people
• It’s like. Not college.
• But I have a feeling it will be harder than normal college.
• And more awkward than normal college.
• And cooler than normal college.
• So tomorrow we spend all day learning how to do hands-on stuff.
• Should be pretty awesome.
• If I don’t miss it all.
• Turns out 2 people in our class came up with positive TB skin tests
• Me.
• And the 1 lady from the Philippines.
• Turns out the locals here are not typically exposed to tuberculosis.
• Who knew?
• So I have to miss part of the first serious day to go get bloodwork done to make sure I’m ok.
• (I’m ok)
• blech.
• Hopefully it won’t take too long.
• Because that would stink to get behind at the beginning.
• But I’m excited.
• Even if I have to carry a 1700+ page book with me every day.
• And drive 30-45 minutes for clinicals 2 days a week.
• Definitely a new chapter.
