School and such
An update of sorts
So we all know I am in nursing school, and while I am grateful for the opportunity and excited to be an RN this shit fucking sucks.
I have no social life, no time for my family, I am lucky to have clean underwear and if it wasn't for my husband I wouldn't, I cooked for the first time in weeks last night, I have dreams about the nursing process, my child has threatened to burn my books, my husband doesn't know who I am anymore, I cry constantly, I have anxiety, my Blythe are collecting dust, I haven't played a video game in I don't know when, there is a new LOST ARG that I got to glance at once 2 weeks ago, my car looks like someone has been living in it for a few years, my eyebrows need a waxing, I need a haircut, I haven't polished my nails in 2 months, I can tell you all you ever thought you might want to know about a colostomy, I wake up consistently before 7:00 AM on my non-school days and force myself back to sleep, I give a shit about universal healthcare now, I can look at a stethoscope and tell you the make and model and if it's worth a shit, I can take your blood pressure the old school way, I feel guilty for posting a blog because I should be studying, I get to see my husband for more than 5 minutes twice a week, some of my friends think I am dead.
Now for the positives....
I have met some incredible kick ass people in nursing school who understand because they are going through the shit with me, I haven't made anything less than a B yet and I am 3 points away from an A in my first NUR class, I feel like I have learned so much in such a little amount of time that I have a new found confidence in myself, I have read about 2000 pages of text in 7 weeks and I am not blind yet, my family is proud of me, I am super excited to go to clinicals and experiment nurse people, when I am done the world is mine to seize.
I just needed to get some of that off my chest. Now I need to go and type up some notes on sensory alterations to share with the study group tomorrow.
XOXO,
Ash
