Stop, please
Please stop texting me and asking if you can come over.
Please don't ask me again if I need a snuggle buddy.
Because you are not healthy for me. We were toxic for one another. We did not make each other better people. We did not function as a team.
So don't ask if you can come over. Stop looking for cracks in my armor. Because if you continue to ( Read more... ) -
NCLEX....ugh
So, I take the NCLEX on 9/21 at 8am. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. My overall percentages in the review course indicate that I will pass, but I'm not knocking it out of the park. I feel like I'm forgetting everything I learned daily....a little bit just falls out of my brain with each passing moment. But I'll get there...I hope. It would ( Read more... ) -
Stupid School
I had to attend an AA meeting as part of one of my classes and write a journal entry about my experience. I was sort of and not really at the same time prepared for what it would bring up in me....journal entry follows:
My experience with AA is extensive as the daughter of an alcoholic. I lost my mother to lupus-related complications when I was 19 ( Read more... ) -

Talked to Dad
Well, I talked to Dad. It was brief, but it's a start. He told me that he's very sorry about everything and that he is terrible about keeping in touch. That he wants to know who I am, who I've become. That he wants to try to make up for lost time, etc ( Read more... ) -

(Untitled)
After the emails that I sent to my father, here is his response. He didn't get it. Never will. I get it. I pour my heart out, lay it all out there, and this is your response? You go ahead and pray about it. See if the universe delivers an answer that you can justify to yourself and live with. And, of all the things that I said, You're going to ( Read more... ) -
Emails to my dad
Email #1 from me to him:
Dad,
I hope this message finds you well. I am trucking along in nursing school.
I need to let you know something though. I know that we are both busy, but over the past year and a half I have been sending you little notes here and there and have not received one response. I have been extremely busy, but I never forget or lose ( Read more... ) -
I'm still alive and kicking

Life in general
Life is totally crazy. I am now officially a student nurse. I start my clinical rotations in the hospital this Saturday. I am very nervous beginning, because my only contact with patients has been with the dummies in the lab. It is very different putting a foley catheter in a human being as opposed to a dummy. They don't get pissed off at me ( Read more... )
