We had our last checkoff of the first semester of nursing school today — inserting a Foley catheter. After next week, we are done with our lab class. The nice part is that we’ll have two weeks after the end of clinicals to concentrate on lecture. I don’t know about other nursing programs, but our lecture class is killing us! It seems like every time we get together, we’ve lost a few more people. It’s scary to see that happening to people I thought would make decent nurses. Just shows that I shouldn’t be the one judging 
And, I have a decision to make. The campus I’m attending now is my second choice campus. I was told that if I asked for a change to my first choice campus for the second semester, I’d probably get it. But, I’m not so sure I want it now. Since I’ve already established friendships with some of my fellow nursing students, and I know that I have people I can count on if I need a helping hand. I’m sure I’ll meet new people, but will it be the same? However, the other campus is closer to home and has free parking. The clinical sites should be closer, too, which will be really handy when it’s time to start job hunting. Ah, decisions!
Easter weekend was really nice. We went to Florida to visit SK’s nieces and nephew (and their parents happened to be around, too!). I know you may not believe it, but I actually wore a dress to church.
Are you done laughing? :p

I know it has been a while, but I do want you to know that I am proud of you for the good work you are doing. And you should be proud of yourself as well. The fact that you are seeing others wash out of the program should reinforce the fact that what you are doing is not easy.
As for changing campuses that is a very tough one. I think you pretty much outlines the pros/cons that i would have though of. The only thing i can offer is this: If you were to close your eyes and picture yourself finishing the program anyplace at all where would it be? Also what happens if you request a transfer and it does not come through? I am confident that you will make new friends and contacts and there is something to be said about added convenience in your life.
Dress? I believe it, but that is also because I posses a picture of you in a dress that is not Easter Sunday appropriate

Foley?!
Kick some ass, babe.
AUGHHHHHHHHHHHHH
*holds his dangly bits in pain*
I’m glad you’re powering your way to becoming a nurse. Always knew you had a spark in ya.
ps - we want a photo of the dress!

I don’t have any career advice (my whole career has been a wonderful series of coincidences). I bet you were beautiful in the dress - but you and SK are both beautiful, so the dress would just be icing on the cake.
Catheter??
