Just wanting to send out some good vibes to my LJ friends. You guys are awesome :)

I got the OK from the program coordinator to find out if my old workplace will take me on as a practicum student. I plan to make the call shortly, but am pretty nervous. Whether or not I get this placement is huge. There's a lot of "what ifs" going through my mind that I'm trying to put a stop to, but it's because I'm not sure what to do if I don't ( Read more... )

It's been so busy the past couple months with my practicum. I'm going to meet up with my preceptor shortly to go over my evaluation. I was unsuccessful in this attempt in long-term care. Although I've improved over time in the course, I'm just not fast/efficient enough at what I'm doing. In general, I don't feel that I'm cut out for work in any ( Read more... )

Life has been busy with new routines and such. M. just started kindergarten and daycare, R. just started at a different daycare (couldn't get both kids into the community daycare which offers subsidy for low income families) and I just started my nursing practicum. I had to go out and buy a dry erase board to turn into a calender to keep track of ( Read more... )

At times, I can get pretty upset about what I think someone is thinking ( Read more... )

I'm feeling kind of scatter-brained and dazed, kind of like I'm not sure what I should be doing and I'm having some trouble figuring that out. I've think that's been an on/off thing for a few days. Then there's feelings of guilty over spending too much time on things that don't matter too much (browsing online), or not being productive enough in ( Read more... )

I have a headache and have to go to work in a bit. Hope the Tylenol kicks in soon. I'm also dealing with R. who is stubbornly not napping. M. & S. are out golfing, so it's just the 2 of us home ( Read more... )

This month is going too fast ( Read more... )

I'd love to write and vent, but I'm going to make myself study for a bit before work. I have a final to write on Monday and not enough time to study... fortunately I should be able to pass the course with a 25% on that exam, so that does take some pressure off.
