Future L&D Nurse

I forgot to add that in March, I accepted a Labor & Delivery RN position! I start the first week in June and I'm so excited! Its been my dream job for years and I cant believe I get to live that dream.

Its been 3 months?? wow

I cant believe my last post was february 5th! Time is flying by.

R&R is in "less than" 2 weeks!!!! I cant say the date of course, but I am sooo excited! Its finally almost here.

He will hopefully be home for both of our birthdays and my graduation. After he goes back our countdown will only be a couple months!

I haven't seen him since september and we havent spent more than 4 days together since July so I am very anxious!!!!

Graduation...hurry up!

Yesterday was the community "health fair" we had to hold. It went well, and thats one more thing I can check off my list. I passed my first exam of the semester last week also!

Now I have:
4 exams left
4 weeks of preceptorship with an experienced RN
4 careplans
5 clinicals
3 exit HESI exams
and 1 more FINAL!!

Then I will be D.O.N.E!! I'm so ready to burn my clinical scrubs. They are horrifying. Dark green top with white pants??? Really? I've done my time in those things.

Less than 100 days!

FINALLY, it is less than 100 days until R&R. I know, I know, that seems like forever still, but his R&R is in month 10 of 12.

We planned it that way so he will be home for both our birthdays, my graduation!!, and it will be sooooo close until the end and he comes home for good! In some ways, I'm sure I will be wanting him to go back just so we can get the last leg over and done with.

3 more months! I can do this, I can do this, I can do this...

Over 5 months down!

If you count PMT and Mobilization, that is. Oh well that counts if you ask me! If you count pre-d training/schools, I have lived alone for 11 months. If you only count the Stan, I've lived alone almost 4.

Is it may yet? I need some R&R and im not even deployed!

Tomorrow is...

The last day of 2010 and I couldn't be more ready for 2011!!! Bring on R&R, graduation, and homecoming!! And maybe even another baby? :) We shall see.

I passed Nursing 3!!

Bring on Nursing 4! The final semester to this nursing school saga I call life!

Happy thanksgiving!!

It seems like everytime I post, its been 3 weeks or more since my last. I guess that means time is flying, which is always good!! I have 1 more test this semester, with 1 final. No more careplans til January! Feels great to say that!!!

Two more weeks of school, and I will be in my final semester. ANDDDDDDDDDDD in 5 weeks, I can say my husband will be home "this year." That will be great too. I have all my christmas shopping and decorating finished, thanksgiving is over, and I have a whole lot of things to be thankful for. Only one more major holiday without my man, and that will be over in a few weeks as well (except V Day).  I have an awesome valentines day present already planned for kasey and I cant WAIT til january to mail it!!

100 days down

Woohoo finally made it to 100 days!! I can't believe its been a month since my last post. I say that time drags on while the hubs is gone, but I guess it really doesn't. I was thinking it had been a couple weeks since I posted last.

Not much to update. Deployment still sucks. The next 300 days will go by quickly I hope. My brother got married, I've passed all my nursing tests, clinicals are going great, school will be out in 6ish weeks! Woohoo I will have a month off. I plan on spending alot of time with ms teri payne if the weather isn't too terribly bad like it was last winter.

I can't wait for this semester to be over. In 6 weeks I will have 1 semester left!!!!!!!!
