~a new beginning~

hi everyone!!! I am starting this blog to relieve some of my daily stresses from nursing school. Okay so a little about me...I am a 19 year old in nursing school. I have already completed my core classes and now I am in for the ride...Friday August 20, 2004 I attended nursing orientation....holy shit!?! talk about ruining my happy lil day. They talked for what seemed like eternity, 4 1/2 hours in one COLD spot listening to them bitch about how we are now in hell for the choice we made to go into nursing school and by the way what happened to a nice exciting welcome???instead we got the guarantee of 5 divorces in 2 years. uh what is up with that...I thought married people supported and loved each other but yanno maybe I am wrong...Good thing I'm not married or I would be heading to the lawyers office like the rest of the ppls. So instead of a congratulations or we are so happy you want to be a nurse we got told we would eat pb&j for 2 yrs, get absolutely NO sleep, and how they would be our enemies out to fail us. OMG I hope I don't ever fail a class. If I for some chance fail a class please just slap the shit out of me! The first time you fail you have to REAPPLY and hopefully get in (but they say just give up if you fail once) if you are crazy enough to keep going and you fail again oh joy you are in for a ride...to be able to reapply again you have to become either a LPN, paramedic, respiratory tech, or surgical tech (okay if you are able to get any of these why the hell would you want to come back) so anyways then you can maybe get back in with that but then if you fail again they say hit the road they won't take you anymore...they acted like bitches up there like we are a waste of their time. The worst part of all for me was the dress. According to these people a nurse is supposed to be dressed in all white which I think is sexy but I love me some color so what happened to that...on top of no color we can't have ANY earrings...gasp...I LOVE my earring so arghhhhhhhhhhhh I hate growing up!!! A nurse is evidently supposed to look as unattractive as they can be and if we don't try to be as ugly as possible we can FAIL the class...what in the hell have I gotten myself into???????
