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

Mental Health Assmnt test today. First test of the tri. Made some stupid mistakes......changed 3, yes, 3 correct answers, turned a regular question into a multiple multiple. I should have had a 95......got a 90.....boooo

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

In 2 weeks we start clinicals and this week we start taking pravtice NCLEX exams .....NCLEX is the state boards. May 1 we have mock interviews. Gotta start job hunting in May

vent

I get so upset at my hubby sometimes. I am in school 40 hours a week. I work 30 hours a week. I maintain the house to the best of my ability. I cook, clean, do the laundry and get the kids ready in the morning. I do the grocery shopping. I dont ask for anything in return. He works his 40 hours and comes home and watches tv.......when I sit down to watch tv with him its HIS shows. I dont complain. I ask him to work out with me.....no he has to go to his friend's house to work out with him.....fine whatever. The straw that broke the camel's back.......there is a UFC fight coming to town tomorrow night. His friend, the one he is working out with, got tickets for Christmas to go to the fight and invited Rex. Do I have a problem with that...normally no, BUT I work every Saturday for 12 hours.......he expected ME to find a babysitter for him so he could go out while I am at work.....oh yeah and did I mention WE havent been out as a couple for months.......I refused to find him a sitter, what is wrong with him picking up the phone to find someone to watch the kids. He even wanted me to take off work for him.....Um no........I feel like I am getting the short end of the stick.....he has all the time in the world for his friends and brothers but me, eh I get what is left over.......ARGH!!!!!!! I love him but he infuriates me so bad sometimes
