Hello everyone! Sorry it's been a while. I just can't keep up with everything. I'm at work, and pretty much brain dead, so I thought I'd do something that I wouldn't be tested on later. :) This semester is a hectic one, that's for sure. I love nursing school, but it is a lot harder than I ever imagined. For some reason I had it in my head that everything would slow down once I got in because c'mon, getting in is the hardest part! Boy, was I in for a surprise. I have never had so much homework and reading to do in my life. ha ha I am totally overwhelmed and often wonder, "Am I sure this is what I really want?" and then I'll have a moment with a patient, or a thought come to mind during class that touches me heart and reassures me nursing is what I am supposed to be doing with my life. I love it!
To help pay for school, I've been working at the hospital in the Women/Children's pool. Basically I work at all three Intermountain hospitals Pediatric and Maternity units in the valley: Utah Valley, Orem, and American Fork. I absolutely love it! It's the best job! I have time to do hw, I get to hold babies all day, I work with great nurses who show me all sorts of things that only help me in nursing school, and I get to serve people all day! What else could I want? Oh, and they pay for tuition. :) The catch is, however, that they will only pay for tuition if I work 24 hrs a week for a year. In order to meet this requirement, I had pick up night shifts. Now I work a night shift a week and a day shift a week. It's pretty crazy! Luckily I have a few hours to sleep after night shift before I'm up and running again to my next class! :)
So I am SO busy but life just couldn't be better. I am so blessed!
