Ready for a break

Well it's been another fun filled week of nursing school and life in general! I had a med/surg test on Monday, that I got a B on! I was totally ok with a B because I didn't have much time to study last weekend since we were babysitting all weekend. Tuesday was a really bad day. I found out that I had been treated horribly by someone who I thought was one of my best friends. I also had clinicals Tuesday. Everytime I go to clinicals it is so hard to think about the care that the residents in the nursing home don't get when my fellow nursing students and I aren't there. Very sad, and heartbreaking! So Tuesday was a very emotional and hard day. But Tuesday night we had dinner with Eric's parents and his brother and that was a good time, and some very much needed family time. Wednesday we didn't have clinicals, but I spent the day at Ivy Tech with Vanessa and Alaina practicing injections and then we grabbed some lunch and headed back to my house to study for pharmacology! Wednesday night was taken up by studying for a math quiz, and preparing for check offs on medication administration and injections. I went to bed at 11:45 that night. Thursday I got up at 5:45 to study some more before class. Only to get to class to find out that all the math chapters they told us to study for our quiz, like 12 of them, were not even covered on quiz! So that was quite frustrating because I could have studied for pharmacology! I then had my checkoff and that went well. I then had lunch with the girls from school. I then took my pharmacology test and to my surprise I only missed one!

Thursday night Eric and I went and picked up my 13 year old cousin from Lynn. She spent the night with us. We took her to pizza hut and then we went to my parents house to hang out for a while. We then came home and hung out and went to bed. Friday Eric had to work so KyLee and I went to an appointment I had at work one! Which by the way, praise God, I will be getting 1000.00 dollars a semester help with school, my uniforms paid for and my NCLEX exam paid for by Work One! God is so good! KyLee and I then went shopping and out to lunch. We then went to my friends house for a bit. We then went to the movies! We then headed back to my house and took naps! Then Eric came home and picked on us as usual!! We won though ;) She went home about 7 last night.

Eric and I then went to Buffalo Wild Wings for our date night! We enjoyed spending time with each other, but we had horrible service! We waited an hour to get our food! I don't think I will be going there anytime soon!

Today will be consumed by writing a15-20 page health history and studying for my med/surg test on Monday!

But there is an end in sight! Only 8 more days of clinicals. In pharmacology we only have 3 more tests, ATI testing, a final presentation and our final left! In med/surg we have 6 more exams and a final. We only have 8 more labs, one more check off, a midterm and a final left! I know it sounds silly....but this is showing me an end in sight and I am excited about it!!!

The weekend of November 7,8,9 we are going on a mini weekend vacation because I don't have a test on that Monday! We have invited my really good friend from school and her family to go with us! So that should be fun and relaxing! Only one rule.....no school books or studying allowed for the weekend :)

Well there you have it a weeks worth of info crammed into one post! But in all seriousness.....God has been so good to us. We are so thankful for the blessings in our lives and also for the fact that God is faithful and He is taking care of us. I am so glad that we have stepped out in faith and trusted in God! He is so awesome! I hope everyone else is experiencing God's goodness too! If not....you should try completely turning your life over to Him and enjoy the show :) God Bless!!
