its been awhile

Almost forgot about this blog!!!

Wow, a lot is going on. Summer is over and moving into fall. The kids are growing up so fast, Nick is in 8th grade, Morgan is in 6th and Carlie is in 1st....where did the time go? They started school Monday....

I started a new job, at a new facility. Actually its cool, I did my clinical hours for school at the facility. Making more $$$, getting more hours and actually get to use nursing skills!! LOL. Tonight was my 2nd night on my own and its going well. Just gotta watch a couple people who try to get out of working....but thats anywhere.

Keep knocking the idea around about going back for my RN....thinking of doing it next year when Nick is in 9th grade!! We can maybe graduate together...

Loving my life and family, cant ask for more than that

havent updated in some time

Lets see.....a lot is going on right now

Work is going well....Had the last 3 days off and boy was that nice...I work Thurs, Fri and Sat....but its what I do!!! Had a great time on Monday going out to lunch with some dear classmates!

Am really contemplating going back to school shortly, just have to decide where to go...any place I go I can get tuition reimbursement from HMHP but dont know where I want to attend....decisions, decisions

well will promise to update more frequently

been a while

since I updated this blog! I am now a working LPN, working at Humility House on the dementia unit. I am hired for 4 days a week, but am working 5 days right now, and loving getting Overtime!!! I really enjoy my job for the most part, I get irritated at times, but all in all its worth it. The pain and torture and tears at Choffin are paying off!!!

Lots has happened this year! Obviously graduating was a biggy, Nicholas is about to be a teenager in a month, Morgan is 11 and Carlie is 6. Carlie lost 2 teeth this year, Nicholas broke his wrist YET AGAIN!!! Morgan is in choir and loving it.

All 3 kids are in different school which makes life chaotic in the AMs, but we tough through it!!

God is great, beer is good and people are crazy

I DID IT!!!!!!

I passed my boards!!! I was worried to be quite honest! It took 5 months to test, thru no fault of my own! I studied, but not like I should have. So when I got a test date I was nervous. But God was with me and I passed. Next day I had my results AND an interview where I currently work....HR was stalking the nursing website!!! LOL!! Landed the job and I start orientation week after next!!! I will mainly working with dementia patients and cant wait!!!

so close

wow. I am so close I can taste it. So close to graduation. Yesterday at the end of the day we got our invites for graduation. Graduation is June 12.....thats ledd than 1 month away. 

More and more every day I am beginning to feel like a nurse.....I am learning everyday. I enjoy the patient care, passing meds, yes even treatments. I feel like I am really truely helping these people. 

I have started applying for jobs as an LPN.....hopefully I can take (and pass!!!) state boards end of July, beginning of August. Its all coming together. The past year has been difficult at times but oh so worth it

tri 3 so far

Next week I have Repro, maternity and newborn A&P on Tuesday and Mental Health TM on Thursday....oh joy.
