WTF LPNs

Photo credit: http://www.spreadshirt.com So I am sure you’ve noticed I haven’t written in a good long while. School got super crazy, ALL the big tests. This chick right here, well I passed my NCLEX-PN on the first try – woot woot! I hit the ground running and have been working in the same facility for […]

O.o Zzzzzzzzzz

Dudes, dudettes, non-binary, et al…living with a new bébé is damn exhausting, even when it’s not your wee bébé. I’m. So. Tired. But I passed two of my finals. 😱 I’m amazed but also proud – because even though I can’t remember what day it is most of the time, I am obviously retaining information […]

When you brain says, “Absolutely effing not!”

Laundry. Clean the litter box. Homework. Projects. Art. Communicating with loved ones………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. The list can go on and on, and on, and on. Ok, you get the point. Every day is a day of never-ending shit one has to do, unless you’re one of the 1%, or Bob. Bob lives in his mom’s basement, plays […]

When (bleep) gets real…

Buckle your seat belt kids, the real ride has begun. Please keep all arms and legs inside the med cart at all times (though we are training to be nurses, so sure – stick one out, we will get the bleeding stopped…in time…I think), and I would say put your glasses in your bag so […]

I would clock 500 hours…and I did pass all my finals!

I. Made. It. To the next term. I am beyond proud of myself, and I have truly learned to tell that little voice in the back of my mind (you know, that one that tells you you don’t know anything) to SHUT THE 🤬 UP. Now the hard part…doing my last assignment for a class. […]

Oh my gawd Becky…look at that test😱

Let me just say…aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…*deep breath*…aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Ok. Now that I got that out of the way, lol, how are you today? I’m about to take my first nursing final and my morning had kind of a rocky start, but I’m trying to let it slide off. Zoloft helps. (It’s prescribed to me, don’t worry). I’m doing […]

Yes, I paid to be here, and…who cares.

“I am a 30-something college student. I am a nursing school student. I am in my 2nd quarter of classes, but my first quarter of nursing classes specifically (the true first quarter was pre-requisites). Nursing school is effing hard. How often do you take tests where there are two wrong answers, two maybe answers, and you have to pick the best one from those two “maybe” answers. This means both answers are applicable to the situation within the question, but only one answer is completely correct. Holy shit.
Granted nursing school should be hard, I mean we will be responsible for people’s lives once we pass our NCLEX.”

Hi, how are you? I’m mostly alive…maybe.

“This is my place to let out the things I want to yell at fellow students for, maybe sometimes…never mind. (*cough* teachers *cough*). For the times I want to cry, and dare I say, give up. For when I don’t feel good enough, or smart enough to make it. It is also, just to share my journey with you, my reader. Maybe. If anyone ever does. Read it, I mean. Haha.”
