School starts Monday and I know for sure that I am not ready. I'm glad that I will soon be out and start my career but still...I am not ready. I got a job at the psychiatric unit where I had the clinical. Yay! I have been there for about 2 weeks now and this weekend will be the first weekend on my own. I'm nervous but I will be okay.

I just finished my psychiatric rotation for nursing this week. I am rather upset. Not completely sure what I intend on specializing in but mental health is something that I am definitely interested in doing. I was never really into doing procedures like catheters or nasogastric tubes. Although, all those things are a requirement for a nurse to know ( Read more... )

God is good. Some things happened recently that proved it to me all the more. We had the family over for Christmas this year and I parked across the street to give everyone more room in our driveway. The next morning (early morning where it is still dark outside) I get up and glance out the window and see that my car is cockeyed. My first thought ( Read more... )

I got my research paper back today. A- Yay for me ( Read more... )

It has been an exhausting first half of the week. I've been working on this paper which is kicking my butt and it has been so cold but nothing a cup of hot chocolate wouldn't cure. Chantel stayed the night last night so she could take my car to school today. (Hi Chantel!!) That's all I have for now.

Sometimes when I think about love, I think of other things beside God. I'll think of pizza, family, or a cute guy I saw five minutes ago. I don't know why, I don't want to. When I'm in church, I devote that time to Jesus, but why is so difficult to do outside of the church walls? God is amazing and he has blessed me beyond belief, but sometimes I ( Read more... )

We are playing that Left Behind movie, War of the Worlds, at church this Sunday. That'll be fun. I love those movies. What I love most of all is that Jesus will come back. The plot and everything may not be realistic to an extent but the fact that Jesus will come back is real. My entire family, just about, is going to be there along with some ( Read more... )

Right now, I am at school just killing time until I have to go to work. Actually, I'm being rather productive. Looking up a few things for an ecology project on the effects of second-hand smoking across the lifespan. The information on the websites gets pretty repetitive, though. I can't believe that someone told me that smoking isn't all that bad ( Read more... )

School is going better nowadays. For awhile there, I thought I was going to have an anxiety attack! There were research papers, tests every other week, massive reading assignments, and then clinical preparation which involves a ton of work in itself. Something did happen recently that has changed my mind about a few things. I was looking through ( Read more... )

I found out that last week one of the cooks went to a hospital in Indy because of a severe aneursym. I'm not sure what kind of condition he is in but I was told that he was complaining of a headache before he left work. He was really nice to me and pretty much to everyone. I hope he's doing okay ( Read more... )
