The Adventure Never Ends...

I am a wife, mother of 5 year old triplets, nursing student and I work too! So, my homework is never done, our meals aren't always that fabulous, mornings are crazy (so are the nights!), our house is never clean, we keep clorox wipes in the bathroom and are constantly monitoring our TP level cause lets face it... its necessary to keep it at 1 roll per person at all times! It's my crazy life, I love it and it takes all I have to make it work most days but with my amazing husband, family and friends... we are making it!
Here are the general stages you will go through after you pass nclex and get your first official job as an RN: Honeymoon: “Yay! I am out of school, finally passed Boards, got my first job, can finally be a nurse, and actually get a paycheck!” Shock/Rejection: “Whoa! I know nothing, don’t know anybody, don’t even know where to park my car!” Assimilation: “OK, I can do this. Just get organized, put one foot in front of the other.” And finally… Acceptance: “Yes! I have my own patients, I can assess, I can ask questions, I can spread my wings. Oops! Where’d my preceptor go???” This is the coolest graduation cake ever! Just told my hubs that I want a super cool cake like that!!! 2 semesters to go!!!

This is Annie. My parents are on vaca so my fam is dog sitting. Interesting thing about Annie is that she is now a therapy dog. I took her to a mental health facility that we hold psych clinical for their dog therapy/ dog show day. Pet therapy is rather legit. However… I was told that it doesn’t count as an extra learning experience…. Interesting….. No, I’m not bitter…
