Next Semester!

Hello friends,

As November begins (yikes!) it is time to start thinking about next semester and new classes. As nurses, we have many classes chosen for us which, trust me, makes this time of the semester much less stressful. Next semester I am taking Pathophysiology and Adult Health Assessment with a simulation lab. I've heard that Patho is a lot of work but it's when we finally start learning things we will need to apply in life - diseases! The Clinical Simulation Lab has a simulated hospital room which allows us to practice what we will need to do during our clinical experiences, it allows us to get comfortable with the procedures before we have to perform them on actual patients.

Along with my nursing classes, I'm taking my final two Core requirement classes. This means that beginning junior year, aside from my nursing classes, I can choose any class I'd like as an elective. As clinicals begin our schedules get very busy so I'm glad I will have my schedule free to pick classes that don't have too much work.

The football team beat Central Michigan this past weekend at home! We, unfortunately, only have one more home game this season. :( The hockey and basketball seasons are now starting though, so we always have a fantastic sports team to cheer on!
