MAKE IT COUNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jell'o Everyone!!!

It is a NEW YEAR! Seriously can't believe that it is 2017!

For all you future nurses .... keep pushing and do not ... I repeat .... DO NOT give up! Giving up is not an option. I look back at the beginning of my journey and man! I've come a long way. I remember taking my prereq's and thinking geesssh this is taking forever! I hated being in that funky place. When people would ask what I was going to school for I would say nursing BUT I'm still working on my prereq's. I wasn't even at the place where I was applying to nursing school. People don't understand how difficult it may be to get into nursing school or just the different obstacles you have to get passed to make it to nursing school.

No matter if you are taking your prereq's or haven't even started taking your prereq's, the point is to start! Get started now. Time is going to pass whether you are pursuing your dreams or not. I decided that I wanted to be better and become something that I (at the time) felt was out of my reach but, I didn't want to stay where I was. Yes, I had a fear of failing and not making the cut but, my fear wasn't big enough to stop me. Don't let your fear stop you. Where would you like to be in the next 5 years? Do you want to help someone build their future or do you want to invest in your own?

There's no race. You don't have to make it in 4 years. Initially I had to work a full-time job and go to school part-time. When it's all said and done I would have taken 5 years instead of 4. We all have unique situations but you should want to be better. I encourage you to take a leap of faith and go pursue your dreams.

MAKE 2017 COUNT.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!

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...
