How I wish I could turn back the time. This was taken two days ago and I’m already reminiscing. Baseball with babe.

Let’s talk about how I can’t get over the fact that my nena is a year old already!

Graduation is on my mindd

I feel like I blinked my eyes and this semester is over. In just 4 short weeks we will have completed out second semester of nursing school. It almost doesn’t seem real how fast its going. Its frightening yet so exciting that we will be real life nurses so soon!! This semester has for sure pushed me to my limits but it has been so rewarding. I’m trying to be positive in every way possible but sometimes it just feels like the hardest thing to do. Trying to manage school, my own health, friends, family, personal time ect is not an easy thing! Some weeks are easier than others but I just keep reminding myself that in the end it will be all worth it!!

I can honestly relate Molly. This semester has been so hard. And all you can do is try to hang in there and stay positive. You have to keep your friends and family close during a process such as this. The only thing keeping me sane right now are my friends, family, and church. Keep it you got this!

Studying

Does anyone else feel sleepy during their study sessions and then have to nap? I’ve never taken so many naps in my life. I feel like I’ve just ran a marathon during my four hour span of studying. This is exhausting and then having to think of doing it another three more semesters. God give me strength!

What  a WEEK!

These past few tests felt like never ending hurdles. It seemed as if, no matter how much time and effort was put into studying a curve ball was always thrown. The good news is, we all persevered and got through it. No matter what the turn out was, continue to stay the course. This program may be challenging, but we all worked hard to be here today so giving up is not the answer. There are a lot of people who wish to be where we are today but, unfortunately did not make it. So, just by being is this program is evidence of your success so don’t beat yourself up if you don’t do as well as you wish. The Only Way To Get Through It Is To Go Through It <3 <3 <3

You’re so right Martina! We got through a rough two weeks. I can honestly say that with these exams, we can’t let them consume us. We know that we gave it our all and that’s all we can do. I can’t keep saying that it’s me when I know i prepapred myself for these exams. So then who is at fault? Just saying. But it’s over and now we can prepare for our next set of three exams. Study hard and I wish you nothing but the best!

Mind Blown

Okay honestly, peds exam was trash. I don’t normally rant about things but this is something that has to be addressed. I have never in my life studied so hard for an exam and do so miserably. I felt as though I didn’t study at all. These exams this semester have been terribly confusing. The material we learn isn’t even hard so why are the exams so difficult. After hundreds of practice questions and hours of learning lecture notes we should be able to pass with no problem. If someone could answer me one question it would be, “why do teachers give a blueprint when the exam had so many topics we never discussed?” I think inquiring minds would like to know. Anyway, it’s over and I passed after points were given back. This will not defeat my spirit and like I always say, “si tu no lo tienes, dios lo tendra.” WE ARE STILL HERE FOR A REASON! #DiositoPrimeroAlways

Relax your minds because we have studied for this! Good luck everyone! EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY. #DiositoPrimeroAlways

middle of the semester!

It has been a bumpy beginning of the semester with exams being back to back and the constant feeling of never having enough time to study. It is very overwhelming if i must say…but the only thing to get accomplish is to pass!!!! Taking one day at a time. 

[kiara-1206-blog]

One day at a time is right Lana! We got this. I tell you we got this meanwhile I’m crying myself! Just kidding....but seriously. Honestly, we know how these exams work now so we can’t be discouraged. We just have to play the game the best we know how! We won’t let anything defeat us. #GodFirst

😫

What a week!!! Things are continuing to pile up and honestly things are getting more challenging as the days go by. This week we had 2 exams back to back and I honestly was so anxious about the end result. I eventually had to let my faith takeover and realize that I put in the work that I needed to and to just trust and believe that things were going to work out in my favor, and guess what? IT DID! I passed both exams and I am feeling extremely relieved! While this week was rough, it defiantly restored my faith in ways that I could never imagine and I know as log as I continue to push I will be okay. One more exam next week until the last week of the semester🤯 Things are flying by but I am ready and I wish everyone the best of luck! We will make it together…now lets pass these exams class of 2019!!! 

[kiara-1206-blog]

I don’t think I would have been able to push myself the way I did when we studied together this past week! I am so grateful to have our group of friends because we ultimately want to see each other make it. We all have the same strong faith and positivity. This week was very challenging but we made it. And all I can say is that if we made it through two of the toughest exams then one more won’t deter us!

Patho and Med-surge will be the death of me

I am extremely nervous for the two test we are about to take but I have have been non stop studying. I want to learn the material and not just memorize it.  I feel like I am really making progress with this though and I am feeling good right now! I am actually even more motivated because I think I have been able to narrow down what area I want to focus on. I want to be an advocate for children who do not have their own voice and who need help. I am so excited for maternity next semester and I hope that this motivation in enough to get me though the rest of this semester. 

[kiara-1206-blog]

I was extremely nervous for these exams! But we made it through! I think by this time we are actually understanding how these exams work. It’s all about learning experiences and we have come to be familiar with these experiences. Good luck on studying for the next exam Jenna!!!!

Tough week

All I can say about this week is “wow.” I feel like I post a lot about how every week is very challenging but ultimately this week has been one of the hardest weeks for me. Not only was I challeneged mentally but spiritually. I believe in having a strong faith base as I continue to grow throughout life. Having a belief of some sort honeslty gets you through the most difficult times of your life. I would have never thought that I would just have to let go and trust that I will be okay. No matter what issue that arises, I will always get up and keep moving. After this week, I have realized that nothing will stand in my way of success. And on that note, good luck to everyone studying for the upcoming peds exam! We got this guys!!!! Like my dad always says “si tu no lo tienes, Dios lo tendra.” #DiositoPrimeroAlways

Post Exam

This post is about a week late, however it was a good reflection to post due to how stressful nursing school can be, but just how important balance can be also. School has been super stressful this week. I was only able to make Monday and Friday. I thought it would throw me off..But in those two days I hit 2 PRS ! 140LB SQUAT AND 180LB DEADLIFT. I have been really mindful with my diet for about two weeks now and each week I have been incorporating floating deadlifts into my lift, spin classes, and cardio(with the exception of this week) Today was a huge accomplishment for me. Starting off my weekend with an awesome grade on my pediatrics exam and a few PR’S feels amazing. Thanks for being an awesome coach 🧡 @katiefeeleystrength #PR @ Power Plant Gym

School definitely was super stressful last week. I can only say that it gets harder but the difference is that we will have the experience needed to move on. I love that you’re so dedicated to crossfit and you find time to unwind. Keep doing what you are doing because I have faith in you Amber!
