✨12/16/2022, Week 22 of Fall Semester✨

In a very exciting update, I have passed level 3 and will be proceeding to the final level of nursing school, level 4! I am over the moon because I mentioned in my previous post that I needed a 74 due to missing an exam and the final counting for both the final and my missing grade. So, after many study sessions including a 14hr group session, I waited over 24hr for my result to discover that I had not only succeeded, but that I had made an 84.9!!! I couldn’t believe my eyes and I refreshed the page a million times to make sure I wasn’t dreaming. May this prove to you all that with enough hard work, anything is possible! You guys can do it!!!

Above I present the realistic chaos from throughout my 2 weeks of studying leading up to the final. I am so happy and can’t wait to keep y’all up to date about interviews and preceptorship. I feel so fortunate to have this opportunity and it’s so crazy I’m on my last semester of nursing should before I become an RN in May. Fingers crossed we make it through the chaos!!!

Like I said in my last post, I hope you are all doing well, and again, I’m very sorry for the unexpected prolonged hiatus! Best of luck to everyone with finals and to those who have finished, congratulations!! Treat yourself with kindness and celebrate your victories with a nice winter break. For those who keep going throughout December, I wish you all the very best in your studies and also encourage you to take breaks when you can even if it is just to enjoy a small cup of hot chocolate or to look at Christmas lights or study by the fire!

hi, i’ve started school again :) i’ve been working as a cna, and i enjoy patient care. but i also wanted to use my biology degree. so i’m working towards going for an accelerated nursing program

i’m taking pre-requisites that my bio degree didn’t cover (developmental psych, nutrition, and pathophysiology), and all of the classes are online. it’s been a transition to get back into school while also working. but it’s a new year and i’m trying to be optimistic haha

✿ wishing everyone the best in the new year (over two weeks later!)

re-introduction time, hi I'm Bente (they/he), Ben is also fine! formerly known as bennistudies

quick facts:

mid-20something wrapping up their master's teaching degree (english & german)

starting a new job as a substitute teacher in may (exciting but scary!)

this is a somewhat-studyblr, definitely some langblr content and otherwise the usual meme, jokes, life update, bookish stuff

languages I'm currently learning: DGS (german sign language) & Norwegian

it's been a bit over five years since I joined the studyblr community with my old blog and I've learned so much from others since then but also I just really enjoy seeing everyone doing their thing and making it work, ya'll are so impressive!!

hyperspecific poll with fun facts to get to know each other is here

a more rambly hello under the cut:)

after I basically stopped posting on my old studyblr bennistudies last late summer, I realised that having to switch back and forth between accounts was the issue. I missed being active here! so to solve that, I've created this sideblog for easier access. hi, it's good to see you again :)

for those interested, I'll definitely leave little updates on how the job is going (as much as I'm allowed), especially when it comes to being a nonbinary trans teacher since a bunch of ppl found that interesting when I mentioned it on my old blog. posts related to that will be both under #mine and #bente does gender

originally, I expected to be done with my thesis already, which is why I have lots of language classes going on/starting rn. I have 4 lessons of german sign language level 2 left, level 3 starts this week as a parallel class though (posts will be under #bente learns sign language). last week I started norwegian a1 (#bente learns norwegian)!

other than that new focus on teaching and language learning, it'll be the usual chaos, rambles, and water drinking reminders though. I'm not even gonna pretend that I'm doing this for accountability, I just like sharing my cosy little corner of the world and seeing what you lot are up to

I still track #benniscup, please use it freely for any type of post! yes that includes rambles (if you want me to see and potentially reblog)

if you want to talk books, baking, plants or just about your day, please reach out!

tagging a bunch of my old mutuals and blogs I've followed for what feels like forever bc I appreciate you all and hope you know that: @septemberstudies @learnelle @studyingwithcatsandtea @veralernt @teacherstudiies @lattesandlearning @somerabbitholes @yourneighborhoodbibliophile @adelinestudiess @godzilla-studies @oneanxiousstudybuddy @gabiestudies @patchworkstudies (& the knife gang pals, obviously <3)

✨3/8/2023, Week 9 of Final Semester✨

This has been the busiest past few months of my life but we are almost done with level 4!!!! 2 more months to go until I can say I’m officially graduated and on to pass my NCLEX and claim that RN!

I’m praying that with the amount of hard work and dedication devoted to this course that I’ll pass with no problems in our advanced concepts med surg course 🤞🏻 I just need 74s on the next two exams and we are golden, baby. I’ll still have a short leadership course and the ATI comprehensive predictor to pass, but our most lecture heavy class will be over with by the end of this month.

I can’t believe I have finished my final clinical rotations in the nursing program, which were in the ICU this semester! I thoroughly enjoy clinical so it’s bittersweet that’s it, but at least I have 84 hr of student nurse preceptorship to look forward to in April! I can’t wait to update you all on the final steps of this journey- fingers crossed I have what it takes to cross the finish line ✨

Hello I'm back! It's been really tough 3 months. I'm pretty sure I'm going to fail the entrance exam I gave for a masters program and I studied for months for it. It was difficult to accept that I put all the effort and still I'm going to fail there's nothing I can do about it now. For me it was also an opportunity to take a break and plan everything out. It is what it is.

I'm also graduating in May and can we please stop the passage of time? I still remember the posts I made when I started uni. Also I've industrial psych this sem and I hate it so much I'm a neuro girly. My true love pasta has been with me for emotional support.

Happy Valentine’s Day, my sweet friends!!! I hope that your day is filled with so much love and happiness. Do me a favor and tell someone dear to you that you love them and spread kindness on this day.

I will be spending my day studying with this lovely study group I’ve been grateful to be apart of and celebrating Galentine’s by having sweets while we study and finish assignments for the week because my partner will be working and the nursing program grind never stops hehe.

✨2/1/2023, Week 4 of Final Semester✨

I won’t lie. This semester has already been really really tough. I passed all of my final skills check offs and my final test off, but these exams are kicking my ass. My test anxiety has been miserable this semester and I am trying to work to get it under control. I feel pretty downtrodden right now and I know this post seems a bit more somber than normal because of that feeling, but I know I’ll just pick myself up and work even harder. We are going to make it through because we have to and we have gotten back up from worse. Running on pure adrenaline and determination now. Fingers crossed your studies are going better than mine and I’d love to hear what everyone’s favorite part of the semester so far is!
