As of recent..

Its Been a while since i Wrote, I am sorry its been so busy...........

Lets see, what is going on...

Well I went on another hike 2 weeks after the other one. We went to the Mini Grand canyon, and it was pretty darn cool:) Once i get pictures of it from my friend, i'll post it up.

Nursing school. ah! I am told that nursing students look older after they finish than before when they started, because of all the stress. I guess i wont mind looking 21 instead of 17 of 18:) well, i guess i'll be 23 when i'm finished. anyways, Nursing school is stressful, i knew it would be, I'm hanging in there. It feels weird if i am not studying. and if i get less than 4 hours studying a day, i feel like i wasted my time, even if what i was doing was important stuff. I am Proud to announce that I got an 85 on the Mental Health test....who'd a thought? :) everyone else i talked to got 70s or worse! Wow, I felt great! that is until i took the Pharmacology test the next week! i am not sure how i did, but if i get a 75, i will be happy:) My Teacher, Dr. Cartwrite Is Smart, she's a hard tester, but i think her tests are fair, unlike other tests i've had from other teachers..........

Lab and Clinicals are good too. I am nervous, I have pass offs for skills in lab, Its stuff i've done as a CNA, and now a little bit more, The RNs are the ones to pass us off, and Last time, My friend, Audrey and i had the Nazis. We were about to cry by the time we were done with pass offs, it was terrible, and then we straitway had to go take the mental health test. I'm glad i got an 85, on it.

We have SO much busy work! its insane!!! I feel like my homework is like my laundry. it is never ending, No matter what load you finish, there seems to be more, ha ha. Some of it is pointless, like my teacher for mental health gave us an assignment to Dress up like a trailblazer. ha ha.. no, Not the vehicle. Sad, huh. A trailblazer as in one who paved the way for nursing and what it is today, and i guess how it ties into mental health? it was dumb, But Audrey and I decided to Make it fun: We dressed up like Psychologists: Jean Piaget and Eric Erikson. Their theories are applied in nursing today. Most people dressed up or did their presentation on Florence nightengale, or Dorthea Dix. Not that those women weren't important or anything, but its nice to have a change in subject. :) We also had 2 guy Koreans dress up like women trailblazers, it was Very funny! Here are some pictures we took: Everyone got a kick out of us:)

I am Jean Piaget, and She's Eric Erikson :) Like my 'Stache?

I take My Job seriously.

This is Raphael, he's Florence Nightengale, with wings!

This is the other Korean, Sean, He's Mary Mahoney, the first black nurse. ha ha

This is Jin Yun ( think its spelled like that) She was trying on Audrey's wig and glasses:)

This is Brent, he's the hillarious one in class who makes those side jokes to lighten class up. He also tried out the Wig and Glasses

The glasses came with a nose, This is us studying in the library. We study hard....

Ok Now you can see what our patients look like, They are so happy to have us practice on them! :) He's Speechless.

Um, i found a wig:) and these are the patient beds we practiced on

Audrey and i Got all gowned up, how pretty huh? we coulnt help but take a pic!

Ok so Nursing class looks like a lot of fun huh? Well it can be, But i'm only putting up the fun stuff, because, who wants to see a stressed out student. Those kind of pics aren't as great. I'll eventually show the pics of us sleeping in class or in the library. :)


I guess things are going ok, Tests every week, and studying, But apart from THAT stuff, I am going to My Student Singles ward for Church, and i love it. I am Meeting some really amazing people and Taking an institute class. And........well its Dating and Courtship. I am taking it because of the guy teaching. I am not there to find out how to get a date. Brother Beaty is really Good and he Teaches about Such important things, like the atonement, and he doesn't ever emphasize GET MARRIED or anything like that, its a fun class and there are 78 people registered for that class! its a fun class:) I am liking it down here and happy to be here, i miss home and everything. But i love being away and learning and growing up in a sense. I am Grateful for my experiences and I love new experiences. Whether Hard or whatever they may be. SOme days are still hard, But The Lord knows my bad days and Helps me when i turn to him. :)

I'll write another blog when i have time....if i get it..haha:) Love to all!
