one more month...

SCHOOL IS ALMOST OVER!!!!
Ask me sometime how excited I am, just ask. You will laugh, because it's so ridiculous.
Thankfully, this last month is already proving to be rewarding, for the first time all semester. I am passing, if not almost passing, everything. I really have been enjoying taking care of my patients, talking to them and learning about ways I can help them. I love the people I go to school with; they are possibly some of the most amusing, ridiculous, intelligent people ever. It's a lot of fun to be in school with them. Lord willing, I will continue to be with them as school continues.

Nursing school is some of the hardest schooling.

Some advice to first semester nursing students:
-Don't ever listen to anyone about not reading, that is a mistake.
-You will be so sick of carrying multiple bags everywhere, so make sure, when you don't have to, don't carry a bag/purse.
-Don't argue to long with teachers, in the end, it probably...like 80% chance, won't change the situation.
-If you do have something to argue, be direct and have clear evidence behind it.
-Don't take anything personally, everyone is tired, frusterated and stressed.
-Bleach wipes remove highlighter stains from white scrubs.
-Eat good food. Drink more water than coffee. Take naps.
-It is possible to survive on 4 hours of sleep, even though your bed is telling you it's not.
-Peanut M&M's are THE best picker-uppers in the middle of the afternoon because of the protein/chocolate combo.
-Wearing boots with scrubs is way more helpful that it is silly.
-Keep blankets in your car, for early morning driving & afternoon naps.
-Take one day at a time, there is no sense stressing about 2 weeks from the point your at.
-You will get sick. Take lots of Vitimin C.
-Honesty is the best policy. If you don't know something, ask.
-Keep your stethoscope near.
-Take days off, de-stress!!!!

And last but not least, praying in the morning helps you push through anything and any level of tiredness. Beautiful it is.

That being said, I'm gonna get back to reading for the night and get ready for class all day tomorrow and the test on Friday. Prayer is always appreciated :]

I can't wait when I have time to write better blogs, but such is my life at the moment.
My Dad made the comment the other day that I don't need a boyfriend, I have school.
Hah thank goodness for school!

Much love :]
