Ramblings

Since it's 2 a.m. and work is going well, I thought I might take this rare opportunity to ramble on about some thoughts that I've had.

First of all, Nursing school. Sorry, hate to beat a stinking, dead horse, but seeing as how it's become my life for now- I definitely have things to say. I think my biggest complaint is clinicals, and mostly because I get up at 4:30 a.m. to go to them. "Four thirty?," you say, " seriously, stop whining." I don't like getting up early and after having worked graves for a YEAR now (yes, I hit my year mark- wahoo!) I'm finding that I really love them. The only (and seriously stinky) drawback is it takes me away from Ty; I will literally go days without seeing him. So, I really don't like getting up early, but the worst part of clinicals are the assignments. I spend a couple hours working on those pests, and most of the information I write down, I make up in my head. Nursing school has taught me to lie, jk.
But I do have to say that overall, I'm really quite glad to be at this point. Light is shining at the end of the tunnel and I can finally see it! Now just to head towards it... I graduate April 22 and I can't wait! I have some great friends who are helping me get through all the online stuff- they are wonderful! I will survive, I will pass, and I will graduate. Finally.

Work: I mentioned above that I have been here, doing L/D & M/B for over a year now. It has been one of the biggest blessings in my life to be here! I love the people I work with and I leave everyday with a great story to tell. I think I have found my niche in the nursing world, I really want to do NICU, but if they offered me a job here I would take it and start out doing some Level II Nursery and Labor and Delivery- which would be fantastic! We'll see how it all plays out.

Ty has started school, and chose to take out Math first. He and I both really detest the subject- our poor kids will have no hope. But he is doing great! He thinks he's decided that he will go to SLCC for Radiology Technician, and then one more year to be an Ultrasonographer. I'm glad we're getting some goals in sight!

Life continues to be busy, but we are keeping up with it and always looking forward to our next vacation! We are so glad to be so blessed with such supportive family and friends!
