Back to classes

Today was first day back to the campus. It was so hard getting up this morning, and so hard to leave my kids after spending the past 10 days with them, sleeping in. Reality bites.

So I started cardiovascular with Mighty M as the instructor again. I had her previously at the start of my college courses, for anatomy. I adore her. She has a very sarcastic sense of humor, and treats us as equals. First day with her was already a blast. I look forward to a few other future courses with her as well.

Genito-urinary class was another story. A new instructor to me. Ms. Loopy. I swear she is. A few of us students have even gone so far as to wonder if she may be under the influence of something. Her teaching style is very s-l-o-w...and she is not exact at all as far as which of our books we are actually to study from. So we are using all three and taking lucky guesses. Her power points are the only thing she is fast at. She whips right through them and doesn't give us time to take the notes. Now as nursing students, you have to adapt to these types of things. Be fast, pay attention, retain what you heard, etc. I swear though, this teacher seriously does NOT give you the chance. We have all figured out that we are on our own if we plan to really learn anything from this course. What worries me more, is we have Ms. Loopy for our upcoming respiratory class, and....drumroll please.............she is my new clinical instructor.

Clinicals start on a new wing in the hospital tomorrow...God help me!
