Yesterday was my first day of Nursing School and I think this picture says it all! YIKES!
I have been waiting for this day for so long and tried to be prepared for it. Our family went on vacation for a week to Florida before school started, and the whole time I was there I had my face in a book. Everyone kept telling me - "You should just relax and enjoy the time you have before school starts - because after it starts, you won't have any more free time". I am here to tell you - I am SO glad that I studied! Our first day of class WE HAD A DOSAGE CALCULATIONS EXAM!!!
Remember - this is my FIRST DAY - people! Dosage Calculations is a class in which I absolutely CAN'T make any mistakes! I have to get a cumulative grade of 80%. If I fall below an 80%, I will be asked to leave Nursing School. No stress right? Math has never been my strongpoint in school. I have to work very hard at it. To have an exam - without knowing how to REALLY do the problems, THEN having that exam count for a large part of my grade in this class - is insane!
Our day started off with wrapping up administrative paperwork, then we took time to get to know each other by everyone standing up and introducing themselves and telling why we decided to pursue Nursing. At Orientation, we started out with 33 people. One girl didn't show up yesterday - so she is out of the program. After our surprise exam, I am wondering who will fail to show up today! There were so many people yesterday who said they felt like throwing up due to all of the information being thrown at them!
After the introductions, we had a break and then we dove into Dosage Calculations - FOR THE NEXT 6 HOURS! My head was spinning and although the information was helpful, knowing that we had an exam at the end of it all - made it SO hard to absorb all of the material being thrown at us!
OKAY.....
I will calm down now - I will take a DEEP breath.....and I will prepare myself for day TWO of this wonderful new adventure......
I will remind myself Who is in charge of my destination and spend time with HIM in prayer -and I will jump back in with both feet- because I LOVE this rollercoaster I am on!
Blessings,
Kymber

Oh Kymba! I can't believe your first day!! I am having anxiety over reading your post LOL but I KNOW you CAN DO THIS!!! GOD has brought you here and HE will get you through ONE.DAY.AT.A.TIME!!!

Kymber, just remember, if God brings you to it, he'll bring you through it.
The first day or the first step of any journey is always the most difficult, or so it seems to me. It can only improve after having a test on the first day of class.
Rest assured everyone that reads your blog will be praying right along side of you.
Kymber, I wrote you a long note earlier, did something, and it disappeared. Just wanted you to know I'm proud of you. You're going to do GREAT with this program!

I just love your positive attitude, it's contagious~ and yes we know it is Jesus who is walking with you through all this.
You will come out of it alive, and with flying colors!
Be blessed, and may you enjoy every day of this new adventure you are on!
