My last exam...I have to admit was difficult, but I can't keep dwelling on what has passed. The over-achiever in me wants to kick myself in the butt for the grade I got but what good is that gonna do? I have to move forward.
My instructors are great! And they have so much wisdom, and experience.
Professor Dubey: "What do you call a nurse that has a C average? What do you call a nurse that scores low but still passes the NCLEX?- A NURSE"- Yes nursing students have lives too. We have jobs, families, and kids to feed. So if you don't get that 'A' it's ok. Because isn't it an attribute of a nurse to know how to prioritze? With a student that has to work, go to school, and take care of her family, a 'C' is damn good she says.
I'm doing patient care in med/surg next week, plus I'm giving meds. I'm not nervous for the oral meds, but injections are giving me a bit of anxiety. I know I just have to get over myself and do it! Because how else am I gonna learn?
Profeessor Clifton: "If you are out of your comfort zone, then you are learning."- I definitely am! Last week when I was shadowing a nurse on the oncology floor, I saw just how busy nurses can get. I was overwhelmed that she was basically on her feet all day. That's scary for someone that has an office job. But I'm ready to learn...so bring it on :)

Enough about school...
My daughter turned 3 on Tuesday, October 6.
She's growing up to be the sweetest, wittiest, most intelligent little girl! Don't get me wrong, she's still a monster some of the times, but she's easily appeased. I still can't believe I made her. She's growing so fast. I love you Stailynne!
Stailynne: "Dont' go to work tomorrow mommy. I'll miss you." Then she hugged me. Can you say 'awwwwwwwww!'

About my marriage....well, he's making money again. Let's face it. Eventhough we think life can't be all about money, it is. So it's helping that I don't have to worry about paying the bills along with my other stresses life school, work, and finding time to spend with my family. But he still has a lot to learn, and right now I'm too busy to teach him.
Let's end on a good note.
I'm excited for what is to come; with my program, my life after the program; and watching lynne grow up. I can't wait!
