After 3 years, 6 months, 3 weeks and 4 days I am finally finished with nursing school. I’m so full of joy and thankful to God for holding on to me, being my security blanket and showing me his unconditional love. I have been through many ups and downs through this journey and it is finally coming to a close. I can’t wait to replace my LPN with my RN license!
Month: April 2018
Studying for NCLEX with Kaplan, UWorld and Graduation
Can you guys believe I am so close to graduating??? I seriously can’t. I started off as a college dropout, then a waitress, then a model, and then I went to CNA school… THEN LPN School and NOW I’m finally graduating from RN school. I went through many different routes but I ultimately ended up right where I needed to be. The sky is the limit. God has made a way for me thus far, and I’m so thankful!!

My LAST Clinical Day of Nursing School!
After 53 clinical days and 408 hours, I am finally finished! No more care plans!! In this video below I express my happiness and relief from being finished with my clinical rotations. Clinical days for me were very difficult because the hospital where I did my rotations is about 25 miles away from home. It doesn’t seem like much, but when you have to be there at 7:00am sharp, it can be a challenge. I would wake up at 5:00am every day and leave by 5:30am, to make it there by 6:15am. Some days, I wouldn’t sleep that well but I had to push forward and continue. After all of these months I’m finally finished!
