TODAY marks the end of my 5th semester as a Nurse Practitioner student!!
Only 130 clinical hours, 11 weeks, 3 months and 2 classes to go.
Wow. Awesome. And awesomely scary.
But instead of worrying about my great unknown future, today I celebrate. Here’s to being 5/6th of a NP and to finishing up another chapter!
Bazinga. 5 down. 1 to go.
I’m on a self-imposed lock down this week. It’s finals week and I’m going to be up to my eyebrows in my studies for the next week.
So that means I’m not cooking, I’m not cleaning, I’m not emailing or calling friends, and I’m definitely not watching Lost this week. The only thing I’m keeping in my schedule is my workouts, because that’s the only way I’ll stay sane.
You can find me at my permanent spot at Starbucks. And my drink of choice is a tall skinny chai tea latte, if anyone wants to send those and well wishes my way.
And although I’m stressed to the Kazoo, I was inspired by my recent smutty magazine reading. I know it’s silly to get inspiration from trashy mags, but I believe there are little God things everywhere… and this little gem popped out at me and encouraged me. I’ve been reflecting a lot on my life and our future and this applies to every aspect of my life right now.
See ya’ll on the other side… all A’s baby!
9 tests
11 papers
200 clinical hours
in 10 weeks
and I am OFFICIALLY 2/3 of a Nurse Practitioner.
Bazinga!
(and now I am officially off the clock and onto the fruity adult beverages.)
I’ve come to that point in the semester where this is all I’ll be doing for the next month:
Try not to be envious of my paper-writing, mad-highlighting, power-pointing, note-taking, crazy-studying life.
See ya’ll in a month.
I am HALF of a Master of Nursing and HALF of a Family Nurse Practitioner.
Boo to the yah.
I think a celebratory drink (or 4…) is in order.
2 semesters down and I am now 1/3 of a Nurse Practitioner! Boo yah!
And now it is officially SPRING BREAK BABY! Who’s ready to bust open some girly drinks while laying out by the pool?
My eyes are going crossed and my butt is going flatter than a pancake since I’ve been sitting at my desk all day reading articles and writing this wretched paper on “Treatment of pediatric obesity” (ironic, I know…)
I need an intervention, STAT! Otherwise someone might get a little cranky pants… (or maybe she already is…)
Just gotta get through it, just gotta get through it…
In the meantime, pass the girl scout cookies (and I might have to change my topic to “treatment of ADULT obesity”)
Send prayers and virtual hugs and good lucks. The next 4 weeks are likely going to be miserable. So if I fall off the face of the world, blame the obesity. And the girl scout cookies.
Finals week is upon us, so I’ll be even MORE MIA than I have been.
Send some hugs, prayers and virtual good luck wishes to me! 3 finals in 2 days and then I’m DONE December 9!
I have 3 WHOLE glorious days without school* or work! That hasn’t happened in MONTHS!! I’ll be able to be a good friend and a good wife! I’ll call people back, I’ll do laundry! I’ll actually COOK DINNER!
AND!!! I drove by the beach today and it was beautiful and sunny and warm! I love my life again!
AND!!! I’m getting my hurrr did this weekend too!
AND!!! I’ve actually got PLANS for this weekend! Out to dinner and out on the town! A bar crawl, can you believe that? I’m going on a BAR CRAWL! AND I get to dress up! I haven’t dressed up or gone out in months and I’m doing it TWICE this weekend! AND I’ll have my hair done and people will see me! (It’s always a waste if you get dressed up and get your hair done and no one sees you! And of course they always see you on those rare occasions when you’re wearing sweats and a dingy pony)
Ahhh the glorious freedom that is my life right now!
(although don’t get used to this, you won’t see me next week, I’ll be buried to my eyes in real, grown up responsibilities again…)
*without class, don’t mistake that for no school. I’ll still be spending the majority of my “free” weekend studying for another test, writing a paper and working on a presentation.
