Summer so far...

I haven't been doing much of anything lately other than working and trying to get into shape. After a long jog nothing sounds better than candy! Haha this is why I never look any different! Right now I'm sitting in the library...attempting to study for the NCLEX but I'm failing miserably! Writing on blogs and sitting on facebook is wayyy more fun than going through flashcards!

I leave for Nashville, TN on the 23rd. I'm going down there for a practical nursing skills national competition. The school is paying my way! So it'll be a fun trip! :)

Where is my motivation??

With only 4 more days left in the semester, you would think I would be super motivated and attentive in class...but no! Even the teacher's minds are elsewhere! My parents are driving up to Richfield on Thursday for my pinning ceremony on Friday. It will be nice, because they can help me move my stuff! I will be living with an elderly lady this summer! It will be nice to get out of these apartments...and have free rent!

I was looking in my closet last night and came to the realization that I have SO many scentsy smells! I have like 12! My room will never smell bad! For all of you who aren't familiar with scentsy, it is a wickless candle! Google it!

This was a pointless and random post...just letting me postpone homework even longer! :)

2 more weeks!

I'm sitting in class right now...writing on my blog. It seems like I have NO motivation to finish these last few weeks of school. For example...I have a psychology test tonight that I haven't started studying for ha! I'm looking forward to the 4 month break from class. This morning I woke up at 6:15am this morning to go tanning and then headed to the pool to swim for a half hour. It is a great start to a busy day. Hopefully today I will be able to concentrate for a few hours to study for my test!

It is SO beautiful outside! :)

Finally Updated!!

It has been a while since I updated my life online for everyone to see :)

My nursing clinicals are finally over. I LOVED them! Now I'm back in class and it's really hard to sit in class for 6 hours! I text the majority of the time to stay awake ha! School is almost over though...3 more weeks!

Exciting news today...I got accepted into the RN program! So I'm back for another year and will be a registered nurse a year from now! I'm really excited and love nursing school! I hope to get a job at Primary Children's Hospital as an RN!

It is just starting to get warm here :) I'm sure there will be another storm sometime soon, because Utah is super cool like that ugh! I'm trying to swim more now that I'm done with clinicals and am in Richfield more. I gained a little weight being in the hospitals with access to cookies and crackers (that are specifically for the patients).

Week 2

Tomorrow I start round 2 of clinicals at Mountain View Hospital. I felt like a zombie the whole weekend and for a change I actually turned on the tv and watched a movie (for all those who don't know, I hate watching movies). I'm exhausted thinking about waking up early and driving in the freezing cold to the hospital! Time actually goes by pretty fast but it does make for a long week, only because by the time you get out of the hospital you don't feel like doing anything but sleeping.

I'm really tired and am going to bed soon.

Clinicals!

I've started clinicals and have been at Mountain View Hospital. I've learned so much this week and loved every second of it! The first day I worked in the Nursery and got to hold and do assessments on infants that were only a few hours old. It was amazing. I also worked with laboring and postpartum mothers. The highlight of the week was seeing a mother give birth to a beautiful baby boy. It was the most incredible feeling. I love nursing! Cheryl and Brandon were sooo nice for letting me stay with them this week as I leave their house early and come home late!

I have also spent time in Provo with friends! It's been so nice being out of school. I have to start concentrating on writing papers and studying for entrance exams that I have to take in March for the RN program.

Surviving!

School has been really hectic lately. We're preparing for hospital clinicals which start in a week and a half. I'm excited to finally get out of the classroom! I go to Payson Hospital first for labor & delivery and pediatrics. I was born in that hospital 21 years ago :)

It's been really nice weather so far. Today it was sunny, and it has only snowed once since I've been back!

Greys Anatomy has been good :) I haven't made time for Biggest Loser but I will definitely be watching it after this coming week is over!

Presidential Inauguration is TUESDAY!!!!! :) :) I like Obama and am excited for him to lead our country!
