I had my Nursing 190 final today. I felt the need to blog about one of the questions.

Ahaha. Basically, some of the questions started off with random stories, scenarios and explanations about the patients. But there was one that made me go: O.o?! WTF?

It was some thing like:

A girl's family just immigrated from Afghanistan. She is in grade 3. You're a ( Read more... )

So this last month as been pretty crazy.

I pretty much love it.

My first semester courses are Anatomy, Physiology, Medical Microbiology and Immunology, and Nursing 190, which will be eventually be replaced by Nursing 194 (thank God) in October. I actually hate that class. I think I'd like it more if my clinical instructor didn't fucking bite your ( Read more... )

You know that list I posted before about my textbooks?

SO NOT EVEN THE END OF THAT STORY.

I've spent about $1800 on REQUIRED textbooks for THIS FALL SEMESTER ALONE.

I am simple blown away by the cost of all these texts. My friends are paying what... $400, $500 for theirs altogether?

I have $1800. And I haven't even gotten all of them yet.

On a side ( Read more... )

Orientation 2007

So, I've had general orientation for the University for the past two days. Within these past few days (one of which was on Labour Day), I've gotten a basic outline of the campus in my head, befriended some other nurses-to-be, and gotten a four-month long transit pass for $75. Which is pretty sweet in itself. In that span of time, I've also learned ( Read more... )

Acceptance and Orientation

tehnurse Aug 27, 2007 15:43

So the University actually lowered it's minimum average for acceptance into Nursing, which is not uncommon for this program. Last year, the average to be accepted into the U for Nursing was 78%. I got conditional acceptance when the University visited my high school, but my average dropped below that in the following months. But anyway, when I ( Read more... )

Welcome to the web blog of a very talkative nursing student at the University of Alberta. I intend to use this journal to jot down random events, issues that require me go into anger management, and items that pertain to the life of a first year Nursing student in the four-year collaborative program offered at the U of A.

However, I intend to try to ( Read more... )
