30 Day College Challenge: Day TWENTY
What has been the toughest class you’ve taken so far? Are there any classes that you are not looking forward to?
The toughest class I’ve taken so far? Any nursing class (but not all of my nursing classes). Let me lay it out for you:
FRESHMAN YEAR:
- Fall Semester - I took Introduction to Professional Nursing. That was easy.
SOPHOMORE YEAR:
- Fall Semester - I took Theoretical Foundations of Nursing. That was a slight challenge.
- Spring Semester - I took Nutrition and Health, Pharmacology for Professional Nursing Practice, and my first clinicals course: Clinical Bases of Professional Nursing. Nutrition was fairly simply but still a challenge. Pharmacology was a HUGE challenge, but I still managed to pass. Clinicals was slight challenge, but it was CAKE.
JUNIOR YEAR:
- Fall Semester (ROUND ONE) - I SUCCESSFULLY took Pathophysiology and Health Assessment. Pathophysiology was a HUGE challenge, but I still managed to pass. Health Assessment was a challenge. I even had to retake my head-to-toe assessment because I failed it the first time. Eventhough it was a challenge, I still managed to pass.
“SUPER JUNIOR” YEAR:
- Fall Semester (ROUND TWO) - I SUCCESSFULLY took Nursing Care of Adults and Aging I. It was a HUGE challenge for me. (It’s the reason why I’m in a “super junior” year.) I busted my ass so hard and it paid off. This class was my HIGHEST grade ever in nursing: an A-! WOOT WOOT!
UPCOMING CHALLENGES:
I think all of my nursing classes from now on will be challenges. I have to bust my ass this spring semester. This semester (which began on Wednesday [1/18]), I am taking Nursing Care of Adults and Aging II and Nursing Care of Child-Bearing Families. I especially want to bust my ass (yes, I said “want to bust my ass”) in Nursing Care of Child-Bearing Families (aka Maternity) because it is one of the areas in nursing I’m thinking of specializing in.
If I can make it past Nursing Care of Adults and Aging II and Nursing Care of Child-Bearing Families this semester, I can go onto take all of my fall semester, senior year nursing classes: Computer Applications in Nursing and Health Care, Introduction to Nursing Research, Psych-Mental Health Nursing, and Nursing Care of Children & Adolescents (another area I’m thinking of specializing in). AND THEN… if I can make it past those 4 classes, I can go onto my spring semester, senior year nursing classes: Social Justice, Ethics and Health Care; Community Health Nursing; Nursing Care of Adults & Aging III; and Leadership & Trends in Nursing.
PRAY FOR ME!
