nursing school update



So this has been a long winter break from school. I spent the first 5 weeks sitting on the couch drooling trying not to have to think about anything…I worked my EMT job and only had a few shoots. I was able to spend time with a few friends and family this time around which was nice. While I am in school that doesn’t get to happen very much.
Next week is the beginning of the 2nd semester of nursing school which I have mixed emotions about…I am scared, excited, prepared, but not prepared all at the same time. It is going to be a fresh start with a new agency to help in my porn career and new teachers to help me grow as a student nurse.
During the first 6 weeks of the semester I will be learning about the musculoskeletal system diseases, visual and auditory system, and Immune response, HIV, Cancer and skin diseases. After I make it through med surg, pediatrics and OB begin; where I get to help deliver babies (woo hoo).
Each Course begins with a dosage calc exam where I have to score at least an 85% or I receive an F in the course. During the 4 semesters I am only allowed to fail one class according to the program rules. It is going to be a stressful time for me…But that is what I live for.
While I am taking these stressful courses I am going to be trying to take a few PE classes as well, to relieve some of the stress. Pilates every Monday night and a gym class where I must spend 8 hours a week working out. I am hoping that along with my studies these classes will relieve some tension.
I have been spending some time recording my reading list (for the first class) so that I may listen to them every minute of the day, including when I am asleep and between shoots.
I have the most amazing support group, between my friends who come over and help me clean my house and do my laundry, because I can’t, my family who will wrap up meals for me, because I have no time to cook, and my fans for giving me words of encouragement. It is exactly what they said in orientation, the student is not the only one who experiences nursing school, it is everyone around them as well. Without my support group I don’t think I would have made it this far.
So wish me luck…and if you want to help in anyway, I have an Amazon wish list, with a bunch of school supplies that you can donate. (School is expensive and Porn and student loans don’t pay for everything). Thank you all xoxo
