It should all be about Him..

Okay, so I know no one probably ever reads my blogs, but I feel that this is how I express my feelings that I keep inside all of the time.
Little do a lot of people know, but nursing school takes a toll on me and probably every other nursing student. If you have ever read any of my other blogs, then you would see that I dwell on nursing school a lot. It is not because that is my only concern or b/c I hate it SOO much. It is just that it consumes my life and my every being...unfortunately. It at least seems that way these days. Like I said in my previous blog, this is the first time I have ever taken summer classes. I am only taking one class, but it is 6 credit hours. Just because it is 6 credit hours doesn't mean a thing. It actually takes up 9 hours of class time per week and 12 hours of clinical time per week. A grand total of 21 hours of my week Monday-Friday. Now, ain't that something. That doesn't include the time I need for studying and homework(careplans)! We have skills checkoffs, which I have passed the first two!(IVs and dosage) Our careplans are graded, but not calculated into our grade, but if you don't pass them then you fail nursing. Our skills checkoffs are graded, but not calculated into our grade, but if you don't pass them then you fail nursing. So, you are left with 5 module tests and a final. An 80 is passing with a C. Anything lower than that is failing. Oh!, my clinical hospital is 1 1/2 hours away one way. So, I go there 3 times a week and that equals up to 9 hours of driving on the road per week!
So, is nursing hard? Yes!! It is hard. It is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life! Oh, and did I mention that I have 2 jobs?!?!
My stress load is HUGE!!!! I have test tomorrow morning and I am about to get back to studying for it. It will be a long night and an early morning for me. But, my goal is make a 92 or better. My treat for myself if I do well on this test is a ticket to see "Eclipse" Thursday night. Please pray that God allows me to remember the things I need to remember for this test and that He is glorified through it all. Also, please pray that I stop complaining so much about nursing school and learn to suck it up. It should all be about the Lord and nothing or no one else. You guys have a great night!

And The Summer Begins...

Hey you guys!

Summer classes have started for me and the rest of the university. This is my very first time ever taking summer classes and trust me, its ONLY because the nursing program requires it. This summer will definitely be intense for me and the rest of my classmates because we have a test every week plus checking off on different skills and clinicals. I am also excited about this summer at the time because we get to spend 3 weeks in the OB/nursery unit in clinicals. I am excited about this because this is the part of nursing that I want to go into.
Pray for me!!!
