Sometimes I question why I ever thought it was a good idea to go back to school? WHY????????? Especially on nights where I am up till 1:30 AM doing homework and have to get up at 4:30 AM to go to the hospital for clinical. So far it is great and really love working with the patients. I am learning so much in such a short amount of time. On top of being stressed, with a lack of sleep, I wonder every day when I'm going to break out with shingles, or get a stomach ulcer. But, I know the Lord loves me, and has directed me to this very path, to be a nurse!! Who woulda thought??? Not me! But just FYI, if you know someone looking into an accelerated nursing program tell them to run in the opposite direction. When I heard that this would be the hardest year of my life….I thought "yeah yeah, I can total handle this!!" Wrong! I totally broke down in tears at the hospital on Friday due to stress, lack of sleep, and the emotional roller coaster I was on! It is so not easy as a woman to control emotions!!! But, it's all good and I hope I look back at this year in 7 mo. and think it was all worth it! When Christmas break rolls around I will be halfway done with the program!!! This is seriously the fastest year of my life thus far!!! and THANK GOODNESS! I hope I will have the same experience with this as some people have with giving birth or a traumatic injury! Just please let me forget this whole experience as soon as I graduate!!!! The work isn't the hard part! It's the lack of time to get it all done, and the stress of being perfect and making the good grades to stay in the program, and not having time for yourself, husband, family, and barely time to shower some days! Anywho, sorry…I just needed an outlet to vent for a second! It really is showing me how mentally tough I am, and just how determined I am to succeed! The best part is that I graduate in 7 months with my BSN in Nursing, from one of the top Nursing schools in the country!!!
Well to add a little joy to this post, Eric and I were able to have some of the family over on Sunday for dinner: french toast, with strawberries, bacon, and OJ! Can't beat breakfast for dinner! Here are my cuite pies I got to enjoy an evening with!
Love my Allie Bean!
