Today my going back to school adventure begins. I want more than anything to have my RN. It means better pay, more choice in jobs and just better environment in which to nurse.
However, I am a terrible student. I am lazy and I hate being in class trying to learn things that I don't feel will ever be useful. But I am biting the bullet and hoping that this time will be the time I can make it through.
I am starting out slow. I had signed up for 2 classes that I need to get into the LVN to RN bridge program but after making them move my schedule around at work they changed the time one of the class meets so I will have to push it next semester. That may be for the best. Perhaps just taking one class as a way to ease myself in is the way to go.
So I am taking intro to Sociology. Not because I want to but because it is a pre-req for the nursing program. Luckily it does not seem so bad. Its an online course (which does open up the problem of making it easier to ignore the course!) that has 4 tests (1 gets dropped) and 8 short answer assignments.
People at work know that I am starting classes for my RN. So I am hoping that will help keep me going. Especially since over the summer when I have to take anatomy and physiology it is just going to get more hectic.
Good for you! Starting slow is a great idea, that's what I did as well. Once you get into the groove of being back in school it will be easier to speed up a little. I took intro to Sociology last semester and it really wasn't that bad. I'm glad that it's over though. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Manda! I have a few friends who majored in Sociology (no idea why!) but hopefully they can help keep me interested enough to finish!
