Ask a question?

Judging from some of the searches that led people here along with my own experiences, I know I had a lot of questions both going into and starting nursing school. I’ve got questions everyday come to think of it. But with the semester being nearly over, I do have some knowledge that I can pass [...]

ZOMG, 20!

Happy birthday my love!!
He is 20 now and no longer a teenager. How old!
I was waiting to post this until I had a picture to go with it. We rang in Ishaq’s birthday at midnight on the dot. I hyped him up for it telling him that his birthday gift was going to be the [...]

Asheville!

Wednesday the 11th, I went up to Asheville with my other bestfriend Dash. We were going to see the boy she may start dating soon and his art show he was having. I must say, the boyo is VERY talented. His paintings looked exactly like the photographs they were inspired from.
The drive up was awesome. [...]

Out With My Mom

Alright, I’m backtracking because it’s spring break, so the next couple of posts will be about my last week.
I worked yesterday, today, and will be back tomorrow and tuesday. A four-day week- the worst. That means I’ll be putting in 50 hours of work over these four days. But it works out cause I get [...]

3. Haven’t got any Vicks? [...]

Even outside of physical beatings, it’s a shame when people go back to people or things that are damaging.
Modern-day example? Rihanna and Chris Brown.
He beats her to the Nth degree and she [...]

Goodbye nutrition, hello spring break!

Nutrition blows. Really, it does. So does the nutrition test.
I mean, it’s really the hardest test we’ve had so far. Proteins, lipids, vitamins ADEK and B 1,2,3,6,9,12 and C. Bah. It was just a horrid, awful, dreadful section. Even the senior semesters sympathize because they know just how difficult this test is. But, nevermind that [...]

Clinicals

Everything you need for a day in clinicals:
BP cuff, stethoscope, binder, nursing diagnosis book, paperwork that needs to be filled out for assessment, calculator, pen, pencil, highlighter, lotion, wallet, bag, notepad, phone, and PDA if you’ve got one (i use my ipod touch).
Addendum: Vicks Vapor Rub is a need. I just bought some at [...]

Icicle.

Another snow day!! Well spent I might add.
We woke up and went to Panera for brunch and homework. After that we went and hung out at Baba’s house. It was nice!
And I got to see my sister today who performed a badass song that she wrote and played the piano to. Man, she is talented [...]
