SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS

For ten weeks I have been stressing this test. Im good at math but I hate doing it! Today was the day to get it done and I was nervous, I take tests very quickly and want to just get it over with because it stresses me out. Not a good thing because I don't end up reading the questions correctly. I missed one because I rushed but I passed. Now I can give meds and shots. I'm sure patients are just going to love me lol. We had to practice on each other, Erin and I paired up and I have to say it was not bad. When I was doing a IM on Erin she freaked out a bit due to me making a face. One of the students were teasing me calling me the devil and I gave them a dirty look, Erin took it as something happened when I put the needle in her. HAHA it was so funny! I'm excited about this program, tons of tears and hard work but I love this field and want it so bad!

A little stressed out

A little stressed out is just a light way of saying that I'm so tired and beat up from being in the nursing program. They defiantly have gotten the best of me and it makes me feel daily that I will not get through this process. It's a hard pill to swallow and when they say to take this one day at a time, they are right. I feel lost all the time and defeated daily! I was able to go to the hospital last week and I completely felt in my element but in the back of my head I feel that this can all end due to upcoming test. It bothers me that my attitude has changed and the light at the end of the tunnel is so faint. I don't give up easily and I know I would be an excellent nurse but to get out of this funk is so hard.
Conference was Sunday and I felt the need to listen, yes, I'm admitting that I don't always watch conference but I felt I had no where to turn and I needed the church. Jeffrey Holland put me in tears and not just a few streams down my cheek but the uncontrollable kind. His talk was what I needed and I need to remember that Heavenly Father is here to answer prayers and guide me. It's just so easy to forget when life is busy with kids and the stressors of life.
I will try and be more positive, no promises but if you're reading this please say a prayer for me.
