LPN

My friend Callie took her NCLEX on Wednesday the 28th. She didn't seem very nervous. I saw her the day before. He hair hadn't been washed in a few days, but her spirit was the same as usual. EXCEPT. She did snap at me at work. I just tried to blow it off. I knew she could tell what she said bothered me, but no big deal. I will just take what she said in consideration and be different. She called me when she was done. Said it took her two hrs. (Which she never takess that long on a test) and she had 85 questions. I gave her all my positive thoughts, and told her anything I could, to bring her relief.
I saw her yesterday at work. She was quiet, cleaning the floor. we sat for a minute and chatted and she said she has been a bit snappy at her mom and BF. She hasn't heard her results on the test and it was driving her nuts. I reassured her to be positive. She is amazing. The knowledge she knows and the ability to apply what she has learned is what I hope I can do.

Late last night she txt me and said SHE PASSED.. CALLIE ANN CARTER...LPN!!!
Oh the excitment I felt for her and feel is overwheling. Being on this journey with her has been a roller-coaster ride. During school I hardly saw her. But look what has paid off. A little sacrifice from friends and from herself and dreams came true.

One day. One day, she will share my excitment with me.. I can't wait!!!

Chaos

OMG!!

Life has gotten in the middle of my thoughts. I still have them but there just isn't time to write about them.

Work at the hospital has been a challenge.TO SAY THE LEAST> Just when you think your doing great, and under the radar of your boss, she pulls you into the office and says you need to be more assertive with your patients. In my defense, I care about the health of my patients. I think that rest is important because they've been through a lot. But apparently the hospital is not where you come to rest, it's where you come to get better...So Assertive I've become.
I still work at Mountain Ridge, my home. 111 passsed away Christmas Eve, and let me tell you, next to my gramps dying, it was one of the hardest days for me. His family were so generous with letting me spend time with him. A harpest came in and played. One of the most beautiful things I have ever heard and experienced.

It's time to turn on my application for nursing AGAIN! My hopes are HIGH. Like if I don't get in I will cry for a week. I have heard so many rumors that if you make it as an alternate then you'll get in the next semester.. I HATE rumors.

I've had some issues knowing who I am and what I stand for. Let me tell ya, I am getting myself back on track. No more! My family is number 1. When I get into school things will change. I will be relying on those around me the most to care for my little ones but till then, all about them!

I will be back more often, I need to write. I feel so much better.
