The past 7 weeks have flown by. Since then I've had one skill exam, two assessment exams, 1 foundations exam, 3 pharm exams, 3 week rotation in long term care facility, long term care packet, 2 write ups, and started rotation in acute care facility. And this week I have a medication administration skills exam.... AAHHHHHHH!!!!!! I have definitely never been so stressed out with school in my life... Trying to get good grades and try to spend time with the family has been tough. The kids each have at least 2-4 games/practices a week. It's been hectic. I'm glad they get time outside and enjoying the summer but I'm not going to be entirely sad for it to end! It will be nice to not be home at 8-9pm at night and then have to cook dinner for the kids.
Also I will be excited to get a two week break come August before I start semester 3 on Sept. 6th! I have to keep reminding myself only 1 year of nursing school left!!!!!!!! Then we won't be nearly as broke and at least have some sort of income between Jake and I to support the family, find a house and live comfortable. It would be nice to not be limited on where we should drive to based on gas expenses and having no money. Right now with the exception of softball/baseball and school (which the games are right down the road from us) we don't go anywhere. I've had to recently acquire my WoW gaming hobby to have some kind of "me" time at least once a week because I was having such bad nightmares every night for the last month and a half. I think they have toned down since I've had my focus on something semi fun. That's pretty much all that's been going on lately... still surviving and doing amazingly well considering all the obligations I have atm. My lowest grade in all my classes this semester has been a 84 :) Not too bad! My all day saturday study sessions have paid off. Definitely owe tons of gratitude to my wonderful husband who has been so supportive throughout the program <3
