Back to the FUTURE!!!

Jell'o Everyone!!

Back to the future!! Time to brush off the laziness that comes with "the break" and get back to the books and work on my future.

So, a little on my break ... I was born in the Bronx, NY and majority of my family still resides there. My husband is also from NY and we decided to spend a week there. We visit as often as we can and we were so excited about this trip. Long story short we spent a good two days and the rest of the week .... we were SICK! Uuuhhggg! Who gets sick on vacation?! Obviously us. Not fun. I did get a lot of sleep so I must say, the extra sleep was a win. Hope you all had a Merry Christmas & are having a Happy New Year.

Now to get you all with the program ... my first day back was yesterday. I had an exam yesterday and today I had another one. Medication Calculation. That is probably one of the most stressful exams. Passing is the only option (no pressure right). This accelerated program thing is NO JOKE! There were days when I loved seeing holidays in school schedules. It meant I had a break ... now it just means I have an extra workload. My school is a lot different from the traditional. It's an accelerated program which means we don't have 16 weeks to complete classes, instead we get 8 weeks. It really translates into 7 weeks because week 8 is for finals. Well, we had Monday the 2nd off due to the new year and we have Monday 16th (my dirty thirty :) off for MLK. I currently have Monday & Wednesday classes and if you remove two Mondays it's equivalent to an entire week. 6 weeks for pharmacology and Med-Surg 1 is pure insanity. But I will get through it. I apologize in advance for any lack of updates. It's going to be tough. Ooo and did I mention that I start my 12 hour shifts (for clinical) this upcoming Tuesday? Well, I am! It's going to be a tough January and February but I'll pull through. God knows I'm a nursing student. He hears my prayers often lol.

I'm stressed already, excited yet nervous for this clinical but I'm ready to hit the ground running. 2017 is another year to grind! To get closer to my dreams! So, like I said in my last post ... invest in your dreams and you'll be amazed at what you can do! God has brought me this far and He'll get me to the finish line.

Stay motivated!

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...
