Hey everyone,
I swear we haven't fallen off the face of the earth. Even though I feel like I have. So yeah this post is me venting.... so I am sorry to you all right now. But anyways so I am in the thick of things with nursing school. I am feeling a little bit (Heck completely) over whelmed. I have two test every week and then on top of that I also have to deal with passing off all the critical techniques. We are not allowed to fail any of these check offs. Which I can see why... would you want a nurse who can't draw your blood correctly. No pressure or anything...... Then I have a big exam dealing with dosage calculations that you have three times to pass (90% or above). Which means you can only miss two questions... no problem ... except I didn't get the math smarts in my family. Which I pray our children get the math smarts from Doug, cus I can't help them there.
O yeah did I mention I get really bad test anxiety too!!!
OK enough of my complaining... I have a lot to be happy about. I have to admit that last night I had a huge meltdown and called Doug on the phone and cried to him. He tried to calm me down and remind me I am smart and can handle this degree. While we were on the phone he suggested I get a blessing from our dear friend Tony. So I called Tony and with in seconds he was over there with another of our friends to give me a priesthood blessing. I am so honored that they could come and help me out. They are wonderful men in our ward. That blessing calmed my nerves and helped me realize that I am not alone and that the lord is with me every step of the way. So I feel so much better now and I know I can take on any challenge as long as I have the lord there with me.
OK I am done venting. I promise to put up pictures of our adventures in Sandpoint, ID as soon as I get done with these exams. Love you all and hope all is great in your neck of the woods.

I hear you on the hectic part of that. I mean my schooling isn't 2 tests every week or anything just lots of busy work and projects. I am sad we didn't get to see you guys while you were up this way :(
YOU CAN DO IT!!!! Just hang in there and it will be worth it...right? That's what I am telling myself it's taking all I have to want to go back next semester, I just tell myself just 2 more semesters after this and I am done!! I can do it and if I can I KNOW YOU CAN!!!
Love you lady!
Once you are done you will be a great nurse. You can do this!!! If you need help with any of the studying or the medical terminology let me know, I passed that class with an A. Keep your chin up babe.
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH. We're learning first hand just how incredibly challenging nursing school is. If you ever need a nice venting session with someone who's as stressed out as you, CALL BEN. He's beyond overwhelmed himself and could use the empathy. HANG IN THERE.
Sorry that you are having a tough time. But you are going to be an awesome nurse. The kind that gives out cool band-aids and not just the boring ones.
Oh, hang in there babe! I feel for you. But I know you are going to be the best darn nurse there is. Much love!
