Nursing FUNNIES

Taking a Step Back

So in the last month, I've been laid off and found out I was pregnant. It's like bad news then exciting news . I had everything planned out and of course nothing goes as planned. I've prayed for a way and the only way that will happen is if you help yourself first (before asking for help).  So I've been sitting here at home job searching especially for anything in the medical/health scene I have little experience but I do have experience in EMS, and CNA. Although I am no longer certified for either one of these two jobs. Its still experience and I still have knowledge of all skills in both fields. Ok now back to my step back, So I have been talking about going to Medtech to be an RN. Right now that isn't going to happen. First of all I don't have the money to retake that test, I do have the time to study for it but I can't afford to retake it. I will start with getting my LPN. Not only do LPN's do more hands on with patients but I can always take a LPN-RN program later if I still decide that LPN isn't where my heart it set. But I am determined. ITs best for me to start now because I know I won't have this much motivation after my baby comes. But still Im going to work for it. Pray for me :)

Starting Over

Let me first share a little of my school history. I went to Ben Davis High School one of the biggest in the U.S. I never did very well I was always more concerned with my extracurricular activities like choir and colorguard (winterguard too). After Graduating with a Core 40 Diploma (average) I decided to go to University of Indianapolis. And of course for Nursing. See I've always wanted to be a nurse or a doctor. I could see myself working in a hospital ever since I was little. My dad bought me this toy stethoscope when I was 3. After I turned 6 my grandma let me go to work with her on the weekends at Heartland Nursing Home in Greenville, Ohio. I suggest you google it if you haven't heard of Fort Greenville. Thats my hometown by the way. Anyways while I was in school at Uindy, I studied my butt off to get into the nursing program. See I had plans! I planned on getting into nursing school sophomore year and by the time senior year came around I was going to apply to the graduate program to get my Masters to be a Midwife. All that went down the drain as classes became harder and each year Uindy bumped up the requirement to get into nursing. The beginning of Junior year I dropped out. I was working over time and it was either school or having a place to live and food to eat. So bascially survival or school. So now here I am a year later trying to get my life back on track. I am now preparing to take the TEAS test for Medtech so I can start school in two weeks. I love that now I have a great support aka my boyfriend. He not only supports me, but pushes me to do better because he knows what I can handle and how far I can go. So Im praying that this all will work out and I can graduate in 21 months with my ASN in nursing.. :) stay tuned to see if I get in or not
