I thought 2011 was going to be horrible. I remember dreading the thought of going back to school full time, of not being able to have a life and time to do the things I enjoy, and having to study all the time. Little did I know that 2011 was going to be, maybe not the most enjoyable year of my life (2010 def holds that title thus far), but definitely the most monumental. For starters, I passed Nursing School! What a crazy journey that has been! When I started nursing school they told us that "Nursing is a Honor". I didn't get it. Today i realize what they meant. In my short span of clinicals i have had a couple of my patients look me in the eyes and thank me for my work. I have held the hand of man who was in his last days of life.

6 month update....WHERE DO I BEGIN?????????? ok so i have broken some rules i set myself for this year, but i have also kept some important ones... 1. I passed my first semester of nursing school!

Clinical are also a roller-coaster of emotions... sometimes they are rewarding but alot of times they are a pain in the ass, a shit ton of work, and exhausting! On wednesday i start my first pediatric rotation so that s

2010 was an epic year. I set some goals for myself and accomplished all of them. I got into nursing school, worked for a year as a therapist in an amazing facility, passed a semester of classes, traveled, lost weight, took salsa classes, volunteered, and basically did whatever felt right at the time!So when it came to make goals for this year I was initially at a loss! What could i do to top last year? Well after some thought here is what I came up with! 1. I will not buy any non essential articles of clothing until atleast March 1st. This is in effort to teach to me some fiscal responsibility (lol i sound like a politician but i can't really come up with another word). I really need to instill better spending habits in myself, and more importantly better saving habits! 2. I will not act a fool- hahahahha I am not in college anymore and I should really stop partying like I am! Dance, spend quality time w/ friends, laugh, have fun, but do not act a fool! =) 3. Could try and lose ten
