The summer is almost over and I have had several friends ask me about my plans for school this fall. I realize that means I need to start blogging again. I'll tell you everything I know up to this point, but until school starts, there won't be much to say.
A quick recap: My plan is to start the RN program at Ivy Tech next fall (2010). This will put my graduation and subsequent job starting in line with my youngest starting school full time. I just finished Anatomy 101 and 102. I have two semesters to wait and two classes left to take. I will be taking Intro to Chemistry this fall and Microbiology in the spring.
I registered online for my Chemistry class. I did not like my options. Most of the classes were on two different days at two different times. With three young kids I need to keep things simple. I opted for the Saturday morning class. Starting August 29th I will be in class each Saturday from 8am to noon until around Christmas. I'm not a fan of chemistry or 8am so this will be long semester.
Soon I will run over to the Ivy Tech bookstore to figure out what books I need. Then I will try to order them online to save some money. It worked well last year. Also, in November I will be attending a required meeting for all students wanting to join the nursing program. It's a big deal because there is an 8 month waiting list. So if something goes wrong and I miss it, I am in huge trouble. After that I take my TEAS tests (don't know anything about them yet) and then I work on my application for the program. The deadline is the beginning of April and then I find out if I am accepted in mid-May.
That's pretty much all I know for now. I may have a post or two in the meantime, but otherwise this blog will be quiet again until August 29th.
