Just about done...

I am in the mist of finals. I had one last Tuesday. Next, I have 4 on Monday and 2 on Tuesday. Then, that is it. I am done with my first semester! The past 12 weeks have really flown by. As I am studying for my finals, I realize how much I really have learned and how much I have grown through this experience. I still love the idea of being a nurse. However, there are some nursing floors that are not for me. Med-Surg floors are what I am talking about. I do not want to do that!

The next couple of days are going to be really tough. I can see the end in sight, yet I am finding it hard to focus on the task at hand. Pharmacology, Health Assessment, Professional Practice & Leadership, and Pathophysiology are the only things holding me back from my much needed vacation. These are the thoughts that are consuming my mind each day, hour, and minute. I actually think I had a dream about one of these subjects last night. I think it was Patho...I think there is a reason for that.

Pray for me as I study and take these last finals. They are going to be mentally draining. But Wednesday at 6am we will be on our way to Pennsylvania!

    Hi Catherine,

    My name is Kayce. I came across your blog when I was searching for any posts/advice/blogs about the UTHSC Houston Bacc2 program. I've applied to next year's program and I'm so excited! First, congratulations on finishing your first semester! I'm sure you did awesome.

    A little about me...I graduated from Texas A&M in 2006 and moved to Houston where I've been working in marketing and finance. It has taken me 4 years to figure out that I should have done nursing school from the very beginning, as it has been such a passion of mine. It's never too late to follow your heart, so I've applied! I got my transcript sent over and I'm taking the HESI Admission exam next month. I'm also having to take A&P at HCC this fall because I was 4 hours shy once everything transferred over (I only took Chemistry in college). I pray I do well on everything and get an interview next January once the application deadline is over!

    Anywhoo, I just stumbled upon your blog and thought I'd say hello and introduce myself. Do you have any advice for getting into this program? Did you have a bachelors degree in something else before applying like me? It would mean the world to me to be accepted but I don't know anyone who has done it before or who is currently doing it. You seemed so sweet and excited about your experience thus far so I thought I would reach out to you.

    Thanks so much and I hope you have a wonderful day. Best of luck to you in your second semester!

    God bless,
    Kayce
