A sense of relief!


Everyone after the final feeling great that we all passed... Needless to say, there might have been a few drinks in these guys....

Our study group: Jenelle, Kelsey, & Kelly


Today was the first of 4 total finals throughout the 2 years in nursing school. Finals went fairly well, but I was still super nervous to take them. I did pretty well and ended my first semester of nursing with an 82%. Not too bad overall. After the final, almost our entire class headed to the Conestoga for some lunch and alcoholic beverages. The service wasn't the greatest, but we had a great time.

Upon receiving the final exam when we returned, everyone was pleased with their grades. All passed, except 1 person. (whom I do not know who it was) I was extatic!

I had to do something for myself, so I decided to purchase a camera. Yes, I know what you're thinking, Jacq, you have a great camera! But I wanted one that was little enough to just throw in my purse and go. Well, I got a great deal on one and paid only 130$ after all supplies for it were purchased. I so excited to try it out.

Finally, Finals!

My week has been frustrating thus far.... and we're only on Wednesday! Today, we took our last nursing test for 103 and next week is only the final. I fortunatly do not have to be at school again for another week. WOHOO! Last night, a bunch of girls got together to study, I picked up a pizza, and we learned about the respiratory system and wound care. Needless to say, there was barely any information on those topics on the test. I passed it with a C, which I am ok with. Although, I am still maintaining my B average. John has figured that I can get 15 ?s wrong on the final to keep my grade where it is now. What a nice cushion! I can not wait for school to be over... I came up with a list of things that I have to look forward to over the summer... mind you, it is not very long. I need some more time to plan "stuff."

*LPN NCLEX test
*Vacation to the Outer Banks in June
*Beach with some of the girls (hopefully:))
*Tanning
*Weekend trips to the beach
*Island getaway (possibly in Dec, but it still counts)

I'll keep my list updated, but these are just a few expected adventures for the summer.
