A Sneak Peak Into My Crazy Life as I Try to Get Through Nursing School,
and the Technology, Books, Movies, Music & Lyrics I Enjoy

Motivation

by @ 11:18 pm on August 21, 2007. Filed under Nursing | School

Second semester starts next week, and they are still changing the times and days of our classes. Luckily, my work schedule is pretty flexible, but it’s really messing with other people who are trying to figure out when they’ll be able to work.

I bought my books last week, and I recertified my CPR today. Our school makes us do it every year even though our cards are good for two years. Is it just us, or do other schools do that, too?

I’m really dreading this semester … for a lot of reasons, really. I guess I will finally find out if I can motivate myself!

  1. We also recertify every year even though the card’s good for 2. Annoying and pricey! Apparently some affialiate of the school is making out well, though… :)

  2. I’m a nursing student from New Brunswick…we also have to recertify our CPR every year. Very annoying for sure! We also have to get a criminal record check done every year. That’s pretty pricey too.

  3. I just finished reading through many of your blog posts, and I am relieved to say that I too have had many of these same worries/feelings etc. over the course of my first semester of clinicals @ arizona state. I just wanted to commend you for writing it all down for random people, such as myself, to read. It really is helpful to know that you aren’t the only person in the world who is going through the same thing.

    I mean, yes, there are your fellow nursing student buddies in your program, but still…sometimes I wonder if anyone else in the world understands.

    Thank you again!

    And yes, our school makes you re-certify your CPR. It SUCKS! lol.

    I wish you the best in your upcoming semesters! I am taking the time to re-motivate myself for Junior 2. I hope it gets better? (If that’s possible.)

    Happy Holidays!

  4. Good post. You make some great points that most people do not fully understand.

    “I’m really dreading this semester … for a lot of reasons, really. I guess I will finally find out if I can motivate myself!

    I like how you explained that. Very helpful. Thanks.
