Life Update

I started this blog a while ago to share some of my interests. Throughout that time, I've rarely divulged in my personal life. Mainly because not many people read this, but also because it is easier to talk about beauty and fashion.

 

This news is too exciting not to mention. Even if it is just me writing the words down and only a handful of people to read. Or none. I never know with my blog.

 

I've mentioned in the past offhandedly that I have been in nursing school. This has been one of the main reasons why there are so many gaps between my postings. Which I apologize for to any of the few who do read what I have to say.

 

I graduated in August of this year. So exciting! I was so relieved to be out of school and have my degree. Nursing school was not a walk in the park! But only half of my battle was nursing school. The other half - the hell that comes after graduation, the reason for the headaches and cries that arise from fresh nursing graduates, the cause of numerous breakdowns and need for a drink of alcohol - the dreaded NCLEX (or more commonly known as the nursing boards).

 

Studying for the nursing boards made me loose all of my confidence, my life, my money on advil, my sleep, and increased my stress level tremendously.

 

Nursing school is a commitment. Studying for the nursing boards is a commitment. There were numerous opportunities with friends and family that I had to miss out on in order to become a nurse.

 

All of that hard work officially paid off on October 18, 2013 when I found out that I passed my boards!!

 

My next hardship is finding a job and securing said job. I feel that I am so close to my dream and I can not wait to start working as a nurse. I will be terrified being the "new girl" again, however I have persevered and will not give up.

 

Dreams can come true with faith, luck, and a lot of hard work! Never give up on something that you want with all of your heart. It does not matter how long it may take you or how many obstacles you may encounter. Once you have accomplished your dream and overcome all of the obstacles, you will triumph.
