Mar and School

School Starts Again

Mar has had a good, relaxing time over the last month because she didn't have class - but alas that time is over.  School, her last semester, started again today. 

That is scary and refreshing at the same time.  Scary because, well it is school.  Scary because it is the last semester and that means hard work.  Scary because she has clinicals, a real test for her nursing skills and her people skill.  Scary because she worries and doesn't sleep well.

Refreshing, because it is the last semester,  Refreshing because it is not as many credits as last semester.  Refreshing because her clinicals are at the beginning of the semester so she can get them done quickly.

And scary because after this she has a month "cap stones" project, working in a nursing environment.  And then really scary because at the very end there is the . . . (duh, duh, duh) the NCLEX RN test.

She is wonderful, but it is soooooo stressful.  I would recommend, suggest, and even plead for support and encouragement.

How proud I am of her I can t say.  I try often but it always comes out less than I mean.  Others can sure tell her how great she is.  That will help.
