I passed!

I updated my facebook status to shout my praises at passing my master's level Comprehensive Nursing Exam! Woot! Woot!

However I feel I should explain more to those that care to read about my endeavors to be a nurse practitioner.

I have passed WSU's comprehensive exam...like a dissertation or theists of sorts. It was a four hour all essay exam and it focused on nursing theorists, research, and advanced practice issues. (All my absolute favorite topics! NOT!) I still have my remaining classes, finals, and clinicals to complete.... I am far from done. After graduation (May) and then completion of clinicals (July)...I can then proceed to take the national board certifications. So many more prayers still need to come my way.

This semester is close to ending and I look forward to Christmas break. I feel that I have learned so much but there is always so much more to learn. In January my new clinical site will in the ER and I am very excited about it!

So any questions people? Clear as mud? That about sums up my program!

season opener

This site at Dillions today makes me soooo happy!
I look forward to one of these in my stocking every year!

Today I was more "house-hold" productive than ever...clinicals all day...then grocery shopping..then mowing the backyard and then mowing the front yard...making Birkey style rice. yummy!



Amazing what all can get done to avoid homework! Ha!

NON-

I got a NON-flattering and NON-fixable hole in my favorite jeans!

STINK!

Pumpkin Party

Yeah for pumpkins, parties, fun, food, and friends!

falling GPA

Yikes I hate microbiology and it hates me as evident by my scores this exam! Prof just thought he would throw that section in "for fun"! I still don't see it in the study guide. grrrr I hate that! My dislike for microbiology stems back to an undergrad class at 7am in a stinky lab where the crazy prof would say "morning microbiologist" and I would always respond "I am a (soon-to-be-) nurse" He never liked the nursing students. Well I take that back...he seemed to enjoy torchering us.

Do people even look at GPAs anymore? It is my last year at school...my goal is to not focus on the numbers anyway... it is not about the numbers..its about the knowledge. AMEN.

If I am speaking honestly..my gpa can only fall..... (i know i know...I heard a lot of people throw up at little right then, but it matters to me...or it used to matter to me....remember I have a new goal!)

Thanks for all your prayers during the rough spots. I made it through and frankly I am not looking back!

Now it is time to celebrate the pumpkins and pumpkin season!!! Yippee

prayer please

thanks for all volunteering to help me post videos! HA! maybe you all don't know how to do it either!

I have a major exam for my master's program this Friday. I have to pass it to graduate and I would rather not go through it again! (if I can help it!) Imagine writing essays for 6 hours on unknown graduate nursing topics. Sounds like a day of fun for sure. blah

Sunday an online "quiz" is due.

Monday a professor is coming to evaluate me in the clinical setting. No way to be prepared for that! Silent judge.

Wednesday I have a midterm.

I don't think I could handle much more....i know.
