Under the Hood
Be of good cheer! Here I am making your IV meds. Now, the only question you have to answer for yourself is, "Do I WANT her making my IV?"I passed my aseptic technique test under the hood yesterday.
This is what happens to those who don't pass. They have to keep coming back until they get it right. This guy has been around a LONG time.

I have 6 weeks of in-class study before I am sent to a pharmacy for my externship. I still have many things to pass in the next six weeks and of course, after my externship I will have to take my National Certification. The current national ratio for passing the test is 2/3. Nerves are becoming less like butterflies and more like jack hammers. Two years of my life I have put my heart and soul into this Associates Degree. I will make a difference in my future and that of my family's. I can't make it working for minimum wage. This is my last chance to achieve the financial security of having a career as opposed to a job. Being almost 50 without any skills to market has been a very scary place to be. It could be just about to change. Keep me in your thoughts, if you see the math fairy please tell her I need her and if you are 20 and reading this... GO TO SCHOOL NOW! I am the poster child for what NOT to do with your schooling decisions. GO NOW!

Woooo Hooooo!!! WTG!! And way to hang in and keep on keepin on.
Congratulations Nina!!!
And I am right there with you. 48,STILL stuck in my sophomore year of school due to the math. Fighting to get to the point where I can support myself and my boys. I could have written the latter part of your entry myself. Especially the part where you encourage the young ones to go to school WHILE young. It is not that it can't be accomplished at a more "mature" age, but it just gets a little harder. But you are doing it and will continue to be successful!! Good for you!!
Congrats!
