Did I mention that my wedding is in 15 days??? . . Everyone is doing their 10 year growth posts and I definitely did mine, but I wanted to use this moment to talk about tough things and what I have learned. . . I never hide it but struggled a lot as a teenager and child. I had a lot of really tough spot to be in that I wouldn’t wish on anyone else. But I will share some of the things I’ve learned. . . 1.your looks won’t drastically change old and a wrinkle or two, but I still have the same nose and round cheeks 2. No one- not a single person- is entitled to you, your presence or time- regardless of who they are to you or what they’ve done “for you”, this was something toxic I had a hard time with, but am better with now. If they make your life worse cut them out. 3. Happiness is a journey and a goal. I look back over the last five years and think some moments had been happy - but now realizing they were miserable - I had convinced even myself that they were happy. My goal is always to be in the pursuit of happiness to seek it out and find joy in simple things, but also know that definitions of happiness change, I never want to stay in a situation because it once made me happy when I can continue to keep trying to do things that make me happy rather than stewing in the past. . . I wish everyone a happy American thanksgiving and hopefully you can share things you’ve learned going into holiday and family time! . . #nurse #nursingstudent #studentnurse #nursetobe #nurseingthemaking #nurblr #students #rn #rpn #rntobe #rpntobe #newbienurse #babynurse #student #college #lpn #lvn #cna #psw #bscn #bsn #adn #bscntobe #adntobe #nurselife https://www.instagram.com/p/B5aX9goBQRj/?igshid=1hbnpuyzs71no

I wear many hats in a day- I am a daughter, a wife-to-be, an aunt, a sister, a PSW, a nurse, a student, a medical first responder, and even when I wear each one of those hats and fits each of those roles, I am always a Christian! . . Some days it’s harder than others, but God called me to serve and I honestly enjoy it so much! The fulfillment I feel, the inner peace makes it worth it to only get 2 hours of sleep in 24 hours every once and a while. . . I stretch myself thin and sometimes it breaks me down, but I get better every day. I am learning to take time for me. . . #nurse #emt #ems #mfr #psw #cna #nursetobe #firstaid #sja #stjohnambulance #studentnurse #nursingstudent #nurseinthemaking #deaf #hoh #medicalresponder #nurblr #rn #rpn #rpntobe #rntobe https://www.instagram.com/p/B17e4ruBvf0/?igshid=d6fbj393zndl

My hair has gone wild these past few months! I’m try to grow it as long as I can leading up to the wedding! . . MFR night 4 is done, two more days to go, work night 2/4 is done too! I can’t wait until the craziness of my MFR recertification, exams, and this work week is over so we can breathe, I can see Nate, and we can focus more energy on wedding planning! . . #nurse #nursetobe #studentnurse #nursingstudent #nursingschool #nurblr #nurseinthemaking #rn #rpn #lpn #lvn #cna #psw #rntobe #rpntobe #bsn #bscn #adn #wedding #engaged #married #decemberwedding #gettingmarried #excited #ginger #freckles https://www.instagram.com/p/B09_LkpBpNs/?igshid=44mazqfe85o4

This semester is already so amazing! . . It is such a blessing to be at a small rural hospital instead of a city hospital! Last semester was nice but this pace of being able to learn skills, collaborate with nurses and genuinely help out feels amazing and like I actually am a nurse. . . Assessments, bladder scans, PICC line Flushes, post-op amputations and an amazing cohort! . . #studentnurse #nursingstudent #nursetobe #nurblr #hospitalplacement #medsurg #surgicalrotation #surgericalfloor #nursesofig #nurseinthemaking #nursesofinstagram #rn #rntobe #rpntobe #bsn #bscn #bscntobe #rpn #lpn #lvn #psw #cna #nursingschool https://www.instagram.com/p/BxiRXbxByeM/?igshid=x8evpo10elgo

Writing up care plans for fake patients last year definitely prepared me for writing real ones this semester! . . Care plans are definitely not a strength for me, not written ones anyways! I constantly make mini care plans in my head and did it as a PSW/CNA/PCT all the time, if you see someone with reddened/pink skin over a boney prominence I immoderately start caring for it and thinking “I need to reposition this person every two hours” “I need to offload pressure on this area, let’s use a pillow to elevate it” “this breakdown is near my incontinence/damp(sweating), we need to keep it dry with barriers or gauze”. . . I am constantly using my nursing skills and applicable knowledge without really realizing it. I try to put myself in a real patient situation when I have to write these care plans for school, and then go back and find the correct references and citations needed to ensure my work is accurate and not plagiarized . . PS the care plan that you CAN see the writing for- is fake but I removed the name regardless 😂 #careplans #nursetobe #nursingstudent #studentnurse #skinintegrity #geriatrics #nurseinthemaking #rn #lpn #rpn #adn #nurse #nurblr #rntobe #bscntobe #bsntobe #nursesofinstagram #nursingschool #rpntobe #psw #cna #pct https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt8uWEzBa51/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15dqdihqon5xw

This shirt features some explicit language! Please shield your eyes 😂 . . All joking aside this was a Christmas gift from my sister that I wear as a PJ top because it’s a little insensitive to be worn outside- but it is still a fantastic message. . . Nurses are a million in one, they are like super man meets a mom. They can masterfully prepare and set up apparatuses that you have never even known existed. They fix problems you don’t even know you have before you have them. They clean, bathe, comfort, feed, hug, and save the lives of those around you. So although there is nothing more that I love than giving a warm blanket - it can wait when someone down the hall is actively dying or is experiencing distress than when you’re just cold and have been waiting for ten minutes. . . Be human, acknowledge if you’re able to complain you’re not the worst person off in the hospital. And yes I will get you your warm blanket. . . #nurse #nursetobe #nursingstudent #studentnurse #nurseinthemaking #rn #rpn #lpn #lvn #psw #cna #rntobe #rpntobe #lpntobe #lvntobe #hospital #nurblr #warmblanket #nursesofig #nursesofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BttdysBhgpB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16l8z123dx3hu

Night shift 1/2 before back to school is over! All of my classes have preclass prep that needs to be done before class this coming week, I have been slowly picking away at them and only have a few left- I need to finish my pharmacology one and start/do the psychology one! #nurse #nursingstudent #nursingschool #anatomyandphysiology #cnaclass #nursetobe #bsntobe #bscntobe #rntobe #rpntobe #lpntobe #lvntobe #cna #psw #nurblr #studyblr #studygram #nightshiftnurse #nightnurse #nursesofig https://www.instagram.com/p/BsQyIV1BZbC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=soh7kghq3qsj

What I wish I my pockets looked like when I empty them at the end of my day, vs what they actually look like 😂 . . Featuring my @3mlittmann 3200 Electronic stethoscope that I’m going to do a compare and review with my @digitalstethoscopes! . . PS don’t worry about the writing on the paper, they’re not patient information, or anything sensitive, just an assignment 😂😂 . . #nursingstudent #studentnurse #nursetobe #rntobe #adntobe #lpntobe #lvbtobe #rpntobe #nursingschool #teachinghospital #cna #psw #nursesofinstagram #nursingschool #nurseinthemaking #alexdoesnursing #gloves #bandagescissors #stethoscope #hardofheading #deaf #deafnurse #hohnurse https://www.instagram.com/p/BtUPGdChoJx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bi9k2l27aqzj
