I am a nursing student.

Today is my first official day as a nursing student. My finals for fall ended yesterday and today I started on my long list of assignments that are due before my first day. This will all be accomplished in the midst of school performances, class parties, the tons of Christmas shopping and baking still to be done, a few girl scout activities, Christmas, anniversary and New Years (I won't get into all the ordinary chores that also have to be done!). I was naive enough to think that going into this holiday break I would get just that, a break. How funny I am! So I will trudge through and prepare for a stressful start to my nursing academics. That first week we are learning about taking manual blood pressures and the guy next to me at orientation said that he heard it's a difficult skill to master.... I hope I can handle it. Don't get me started on occupied bed making! Hope you all enjoy your Christmas "break". I'm going to squeeze the most I can out of mine!



-Love Life!
