A Journey Ending

By On April 28, 2011 · 2 Comments · In college, marriage, Nursing School, Personal, Second Semester

For the past several days I’ve dealt with a lot of stress. The majority is self-induced, because I’m a procrastinator and a perfectionist. I want to do my best but I get tired of putting in a lot of effort for little resort… or even worse, I put in little effort and get As.

Changed

By On April 14, 2011 · Leave a Comment · In college, Nursing School, Second Semester

It’s hard for me to believe that the end of my first clinical experience is here. I’ve never been the type to have confidence going into something new and different. I feel called to experienced certain events in life, but I never feel at ease before them.

Nursing school has been like this for [...]

Less than a month

I’ve been overdue for a real entry for weeks now. I can’t honestly place all the blame on school because I’m in the midst of so much now.

It’s officially less than a month until Gray graduate from college. Folks, it took him six years, and I’m sure some of the blame could be placed [...]

I can’t even begin to describe how this week was, because so much happened that I can’t really talk about on here.

Let’s just say that there were 3 acts of violence near campus this week, one of them was a fatal stabbing of one of MTSU’s star basketball players. I didn’t know her personally, [...]

Overwhelmed.

Overwhelmed.

Up until a few days ago I wasn’t feeling too stressed about this semester. Sure, I spend a lot of time studying, but it really feels so much easier than the last year of my life has been.

That all changed this week when my professor had a death in her family. [...]

Wounds, Catheters, and Ice Skating?

I’m a total slacker, although if you knew how my week went, you’d probably understand.

Let’s just say that I’ve been very busy. School is in full session, meaning that from now until May I have a test nearly every week, except for one week around spring break. So basically, I’m having to read for [...]

I can haz sleep now?

I’m officially a 2nd semester nursing student.

Typing that seems surreal, after my journey of the past year.

Tuesday was a long day and I felt like I was back in elementary school. I had class from eight to noon and then again from one to two. You’d be amazed at what exactly gets [...]

Civic Duty and Nursing School

By On January 4, 2011 · 5 Comments · In life, Nursing School, Second Semester

A few weeks ago I mentioned something that I couldn’t talk about yet.

I had received a summons for jury duty.

The summons was for today, I was to report to the Judicial Building in our county for orientation.

I was a pretty anxious and nervous person the past two weeks because I wasn’t [...]
