you'll get into nursing, you got the grades and you'll pass the tests with flying coors. nothing to worry about. It's funny about nursing - they're always saying "oooh, nursing's in short supply, we need more nurses." Then, they only accept a certain number of students per program (strike 1, but not really), they make the programs MUCH harder than what nursing really is (a definite strike 2), and then they make you take a test with probably 60% of the questions you'll never use or need to know, though it doesn't hurt to know them (strike 3) which is like saying "hey what'st he capital of Nicaruaga? oh wait, you'll never use this info for anything practical, but you need to show us you know it to become a foreign diplomat". Might as well ask questions like "This man was the successor and son of the gentleman (during Socrates' time) who possessed an item similar to the One Ring except no Evil nor Good could detect its use." Answer: Who was Ardys II. FINAL JEOPARDY yo! Had to look up the answer, myself. Might help if I was a Ring of Gyges expert, but nobody needs to know this stuff.

Anyway, it's a joke, no idea why they make it harder than it needs to be. I remember they were asking questions about stuff that I dind't read about, and didn't care to read about. Mostly in the psychiatric nursing, but it happened in all the sections.. partially my fault, but I only learned what I felt was beneficial. Have fun learning the medications, you'd really only get useful info from that stuff from either a) administering it all the time or b) a graduate class that goes into more specifics or c) reading about it yourself somewhere which is really the same as option a.

oooooh, you got a pen for re-enlisting, sign me up! and a battalion coin! you don't say! I would take the watch and bookbag, but come on man, that stuff might be free, but it's not gonna make or break the deal.

bored as heck, can't wait to get out.
