1 week down... And only a gazillion to go!

Welp folks... By the grace of God I made it thru my first week of nursing school! That week was overwhelming and exciting all at the same time. I met some wonderful young ladies I get to do this with as well as some of my already good school friends that I get to do it with!!

I had to train my "I'm used to taking classes online" brain to go in a different direction. This is real college now sister... Get ur crap together, organized, and hit the books! (now this is not to say that that is not what I was doing before...but let's just say it was a bit of a change of pace for me!)

I'm going to try to stay committed to to at least 2-3 hours of homework everyday and have already committed to extra practice hours on top of that to kick some nursing school behind!

Now please allow me to pause right and here and say that I could not do this without the grace from my heavenly daddy... But also with the support and understanding of family and friends! My husband (who
I did not mention enuf in the first blog- we have been married 12 very interesting years and I love him so.. I don't always understand him...but I love home nevertheless) has already been informed and agreed that he would be in this thing with me (no... Like literally with me...stories, tears, headaches and all) and all the while finishing his degree as well (I know what are we thinking, right!?) so thank you to you all and please keep the prayers coming!

Ok anyway...last week we learned sterile technique and just the overall ins and outs of surgical and sterile procedures! Now this week... Oh yeah... Catheters and wound care. Fun stuff!!! No really.... It was! I allowed myself to get grossed out a few times but quickly realized this will be my everyday life and I had to get used to it! Next week... Vitals! I could not e more excited. ( and not just bcuz I get to use my pretty pink stethoscope!!)

So stay tuned and keep praying for me! I am so blessed to be on this journey and to get to do it with some great new nursing friends and the support system I have! I thank the Lord everyday for allowing me this opportunity!

Also... I am in the process of applying for jobs again... I need a part time job! So prayer on that would be appreciated tooo!!

Until next time....

P.s. I will leave you with my picture of sadness this week... My oldest is growing up and her taste in clothing is maturing a bit! We took a trip to Goodwill and this is what she found... She is beautiful...but not a baby anymore....:-(
