**Squee**
Just got home from my first visit to the skill lab, and I have to say....I think I heart Barb the lab coordinator. There was a group of us level 1 newbies, and she did "group therapy" with us. It involved her giving us random CNA skills, and each of us doing one when it was our turn. It was helpful to see that I wasn't the only one who was nervous about it. She was awesome with us when we forgot things, and gave us hints when we were stumped. It really made me feel so much better doing this a group.
Another fellow newbie and I walked down to the bookstore to check if our books were in yet. See!! I wasn't the only one who's chomping at the bits for these books!! No books. But they should be in next week.....so Tuesday I think this chic is gonna have some new nursing books!! Yay!!
Oh, and Tuberculin is the stuff they use for the TB test....I remembered when I was getting ready for work today!
Anyway, back to skill lab. It was nice to be interacting with some of my soon-to-be classmates. It really was comforting to know that they are in the same boat as me, feeling nervous and anxious about this skills test. And it was also comforting that Barb was so great with us, she wasn't scary or intimidating.....and definitely seems approachable!!
So I left feeling pretty good, and so so so so SOOOOO excited about nursing school!!
