Break me off a piece ......

Jell'o Everyone!!!!

This post will probably be a short one. This past weekend was labor day weekend. Which really means nothing for a nursing student!! I still had class tuesday right after. Still had an assignment due Sunday night and still had 6 chapters to read. Keep in mind all of that was for one class because my Monday class was a holiday (like I said Labor day). Our close friends were going to Destin, Florida and we were staying home. I was just going to study and do what I normally do. Until Thursday they contacted us and said .... "we've got a spot for u both JUST COME" ...... Just like that we packed our bags and we were on our way the next day. Road trippin to the beach! We needed a break.

Ladies and Gents here's some news for you ..... WE ALL NEED A MENTAL BREAK! It's okay to take a break, regroup & recoop. I managed to get majority of my reading in, submitted my assignment 4 minutes before it was due, and catch a sun burn!! Balance is key. Do what you got to do without dropping the ball. I knew that we would come back late monday night and made sure I left everything ready (well besides ironing my uniform, hubby ironed that while I was in the shower because HE'S AWESOME). Got home, jumped in the shower, got in some Z's, woke up bright and early, refreshed for my exam. Didn't make the A I normally shoot for but made a B. With the beach time I got, I was very pleased with that.

Listen, nursing school is tough and it can be draining but you must know how to balance life. My husband is amazing! He's sacrificing so much to make my dreams come true. He's so understanding but also keep that in mind. Take a wkend and do something different. A change of scenery, couples massage (or just a massage if you're single), eat a tub of ice cream :) ..... something that will help maintain your sanity!!! Now back to reality. LET'S KICK SOME BUTT!!!!!


P.S. I received the nurse badge reel and she is super cute. Below is a picture of it and a few beach pics.

Say Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa .....

Jell'o Everyone! Yes little ole me was a guest speaker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS AWESOME!!! So, here's the 411 on how it went down. Wednesday's I'm off. I don't have class but I normally am in open lab practicing on skills, or doing some kind of school work (story of my life ... and every nursing student on the planet). That day I woke up, straightened my hair and dressed up a bit. Yes I did straighten my hair, I had to be professional guys, lol. I didn't want to dress for an interview but didn't want to show up in scrubs either. I wore a black & white blouse, hot pink blazer (not pierce-your-eyes hot pink, maybe more magenta, like blues-clues magenta, lol), jeans and black heels. That was definitely my fake-it-til-you-make-it look. Got to play the part til you really have the part! Get in the car and I hit major traffic.  ---------- I am sweating at this point ----------- You can NOT and I repeat can NOT start off being late. How hypocritical would t...

Pathophysiology!

Jell'o Everyone!!!! I am almost done with Patho! It has definitely been a ride for me. I knew that this would be a tough course and that I would have to really think like a nursing student and I couldn't have been more correct. Let me start off my saying .... I LOVED patho! It was a subject that I enjoyed .... Well it's a subject I enjoy (I still have a week left). To learn about what is happening in the body when someone has asthma, diabetes or COPD is AWESOME! I mean it's not awesome to see anyone with any of those but it's good to feel productive. To be able to know what is happening or has happened in the body is very friggin cool in my book. I enjoy these things. I find all of this very interesting. Our bodies are so complex. It's very cool to see how one thing can affect something else. To see how things tie in with others. There's so much to learn but I'm definitely on my way. I'M A NURSING STUDENT!!!! I have to keep reminding myself of that...

Soak it up baby!!

Jell'o Everyone, Food for thought-type-of-post. Ever stopped in your tracks to think of how far you've come? Yes we have obstacles to overcome each & every day BUT have you really given thought to the fact that there was a day you dreamed of having that obstacle? Let me explain myself. There may be times you are feeling annoyed with your spouse BUT when you were single you wished that was even an option. When you're in nursing school you're complaining about the lack of sleep due to these crazy assignments BUT when you were applying you dreamed of what it would be like to be a nursing student. When you're at work late charting on your patients and it's wayyyy past 7:30pm, you're exhausted and just itching to be home in bed BUT when you were about to sit for the NCLEX you prayed for the day you were finally a registered nurse. Moving day sucks but that's your home you worked so hard for. That crying baby drives you nuts but it's the b...
