I must be MAD!!!

After 14 years I am now a college student again!

I am doing
Access to Health Care (diploma)
which is Level 3 - A level standard

Very Scary for me considering my highest GCSE was a D. This is why I am doing the Access, If I can't do this course I've got no hope doing the Nursing course which is degree level.

Talk about feeling like a school kid, I walked into reception (Back straight eyes forward...You can do this!!!) told them what course I was doing and they gave me directions. Of I set, to the library they said...MMmmmm lot of men there, businessy types a few girls. Not being stereotypical but they did not look like nursing students, but hey what does a nursing student look like. so I stood out side for a little while not many people walked past....maybe I should go and ask again maybe they said a class by the library.
As I walked back i heard a group talking. "Access... nursing ... "
Excuse me I asked very nervously are you doing the access to nursing course. "I am" spoke one. Cool can I walk with you I asked and breathed a sigh of relief when she said yes.
Of to the library we walked again and we walked in and both saying we were glad we were not going in by ourselves( the rest of her group were doing something else). It turned out that all students in the library were access students and we would be split up into our courses when everyone arrived.

This week was my induction week, lots of form filling and team building exercises, principle talk and getting to meet the bunch of great "girls" I will be spending the next year studying with. We are mostly mature students who have been out of the education system for some time or have not got the grade to go straight into Nursing, Most want to go into Midwifery but there is one other that wants to do health visitor like me!

I go Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday ,so my typical college morning will be:
7:00 see off hubby
8:20 have all 3 kids and myself ready to leave the house
8:30 Sarah dropped off at nursery
8:40 Charlotte Dropped off at junior school
8:45 Harry Dropped off at infants school
9:00 I am at college.....

well that's the theory, my induction week started at 10:00 so next week will be the tester will let you all know how I get on

as I say " All Fun &Games"!!!!
