Hey guys!

SO half way through this semester and I have 4 exams coming up. I have nursing research next week, then the week after that I have patho and mental health, then the week after than, I have care of individuals. We’ve been having an exam every week except this past week and it’s been stressful. I’m trying to make time for myself as well as studying with my friends. I recently started dating this guy and we became official so I’m juggling that too into my schedule. It’s getting tough. Kinda lost two friends from the group. One of their mom passed away and another girls uncle passed away. Then my friends grandma passed away too and it’s been getting tough out here. Everyone is passing away and I just can’t imagine losing anyone I love.

Anyways, I’m struggling to keep going through all this covid stuff. Not being able to sit in a classroom is hard. Haven’t been in campus in a while other than to study. We’re starting our first clinical next Tuesday and I’m so excited. Send me any tips on how to be for clinical.

Hey guys!

So it’s been a while since my last post. I made it to second semester nursing school! Ngl, it’s getting really hard. The exams are crazy harder! The wording of some of these exams are ridiculous. I took a nursing research exam today and I swear I failed.

Anyways, my study group is falling apart. There’s more drama than ever before. One girl is slowly moving away from us and another girl is going through a lot at home so she’s been absent in a bunch of stuff.

School during covid is ok. I feel like I’m not learning at much as I should. I zone out during online lecture so easily and I feel like I learned more when it was in person since I’m forced to pay attention. At home, I have so many distractions, especially in my room.

Well that’s it for now. My nursing journey will continue 😊

Coronavirus turned my nursing school online 😭

So it’s been a while since I’ve updated this page. I’ve gotten super close with my study group and it’s awesome. Sadly, I won’t be seeing them as often anymore because of COVID-19. My school made the announcement of closing down in the middle of spring break so clinicals were cancelled as well. We were soooo excited to go to clinical and now it’s online too. We have careplans due even tho we don’t know how to do them. I honestly miss seeing my study group everyday and waking up at a normal time. I’ve been waking up around 1 or 2 lately and my days are becoming shorter and boring. I haven’t left my house in 2 days. I did go to get food but it’s just drive thru. I guess it’s for the better since I’m on accutane but it’s making me feel depressed. I haven’t gotten much done in the past 2 days and haven’t met up with my study group in a while. My sleep schedule is so fucked and I feel awful from pulling all nighters. I’m trying to wake up early but every time I set an alarm, I instantly turn it off. So far, nursing school online sucks. Everything is unorganized and we have no clue what’s going on. I feel like I haven’t learned anything new at all but we still have exams and assignments that we have to do through webcam. I can’t give my full 100% online and I feel like I don’t actually have to study for anything. I hope I’m able to end this semester easily. My moms birthday is tomorrow and we’re literally just staying home and ordering take out.

SECOND WEEK OF NURSING SCHOOL 🩺✔️

So it’s Sunday and I just realized I finished my second week of nursing school and I survived. I realized that school is starting to make me a bit religious but I’m still my little sinner self lol. Currently making notes and attempting to make them look nice and pretty. I’m still working on my handwriting but the iPad has really helped since I can erase so easily. Best $1,000 investment ever honestly. So far, school doesn’t seem too hard but I don’t want to speak too soon. Still freaking out about the dosage calculation exam since we have to pass first attempt with an 80 and the second attempt a 90. I’m not worried about passing but I want a 100. I have till Thursday to get my shit together. Wish me luck!!!

FIRST WEEK OF NURSING SCHOOL ✔️

So I finished my first week of nursing school and so far I’m very hopeful in getting an A in all my classes. They actually don’t seem too hard but it is a lot of reading and information we have to memorize. So nursing school is just preparing us for the nclex exam then we gotta learn how to take care of patients. I’ve made 2 friends and got close to one of them which is great!! She’s really nice and we basically see each other all the time since we have the exact same schedule. Most of us have the same schedule since we’re in the same cohort. I bought a planner and was color coding for different classes, exams, and a whole bunch of meetings. I have 3 this week and I’m gonna be on campus all day for 2 days which sucks but I gotta keep it going! So far I’m doing really well. I’m preparing myself for the week and I’m going to be continuing reading and practicing dosage calculations. I just gotta get in the grove of things. First few weeks are always hard since you have to get use to the schedule. It’s been a while since I had to really study for a class so wish me luck!! I might start a vlog channel soon and lemme know anyone’s thoughts 👩‍⚕️ 🩺

A little update with an old photo 📖 👩‍💻

I GOT INTO NURSING SCHOOL. I will be attending for spring 2020 and I know for sure the year 2020 will be my fucking year. The last few years have been ok. Very anti-climatic and boring. Nothing great or life changing happened. I’ve been spending my time just working shitty jobs and bringing up my gpa for so long that I almost cracked if I didn’t get in to any school. I’m very excited to announce that I’ll also be quitting my horrible job when school starts. Already planning the day I put in my 2 weeks notice. A lot of excited things awaits. I can’t wait to be a neonatal nurse. 👩‍⚕️☕️

Ps... I might make a vlog channel for my nursing school journey so stay tuned.

Starbucks studying 🌿🥛

Old pics from studying for the hesi. I aced it btw 🤓

[studious-gluteus]

Studying for the hesi was no joke. The test itself is pretty easy but studying for it isn’t. After 2 failed attempts, I passed on my 3rd and 4th time! I also just found out there’s a whole study group on Facebook where people post questions and answers. I’m still waitlisted at a nursing school but hopefully I’ll get in for spring 2020. Currently taking college algebra for the 3rd time cause I’m pretty shit at math. Never giving up on my dream job. ☕️🍂

[studious-gluteus]

As my first post, thought I’d take it back to when I was studying for the hesi. Apparently this was aesthetically pleasing so I thought I’d share it with the tumblr. Currently waiting on an acceptance to a nursing school. Gonna start taking pics of my study area for some studyspo.
