Introduction to Nursing Research...

Now...does that sound like a fun textbook to read from cover to cover??? Nope!! Here's the story...since I already have a degree, I was given the opportunity to take a content challenge exam for this course that I am enrolled to take in the fall entitled 'Independent Nursing Research.' The instructor told us that in order to prepare for the exam, we would need to read the textbook Introduction to Nursing Research. I tried, and I tried (ok- maybe I just tried a little) but I could not find the motivation to read this stuff. I would have rather spent time with Parker and Geoff or scrapbooking (which I am still SO behind on!)...or really anything other than that! And I had also just finished a Summer I course, so I was burnt out and really just wanted a break. So I showed up for the test yesterday with little hopes of making the 80% I needed to pass, but gave it a shot anyway...I had nothing to lose. And I am sure glad I did!!! I passed with an 84% and now do not have to do the coursework for this fall! Hooray!! I guess I'm glad I didn't read that book after all... (children...don't try this at home )
