Last day of Block 2 Clinicals!!!

Today was my last day of Block 2 clinicals!! I loved every minute and learned so much, Thanks to the nurses on 6 North and South for being so patient and willing to teach!!

Breann Shaw

Some might ask....who is Breann Shaw?!? Well let me tell you a story. I was at the temple one Saturday doing service in the laundry room and I hate to admit it but I was a little less than thrilled to be there. I actually had a talk I should have been writing for the next day and well, I was being a grump skunk. Anyway....I'm doing service and let me tell you, they don't mess around in laundry. hahahaha I actually was a little anxious because lets be honest, who wants to mess up in the temple??? Not me, so I'm folding and realize this is going to be a long 3 hours (i think it was 3 hours could have been shorter) it was so quiet and of course no one was talking...thats when I made eye contact with Breann Shaw. lol OH goodness...Long story short she is amazing and we've been friends ever since!!!! She was a person that I needed in my life and she came at the right time. She has always been a good listener with great advice, kind and hilarious. I don't get to spend a lot of time just chillin with her but she is always there when I need to talk and I hope I'm there for her too. hahahaha still working on my listening skills =) Anywho Breann is dang cute and can totally fill her own windshield washer fluid (she don't need any stinkin guys!! LOL)



Pssssssst.....BREANN heres your shout out!!!! lol. NO but really your amazing and such a blessing in my life.

Shout out to the Amazing people in my life!

It was pointed out to me by Sommer that its been forever since I posted last....funny part is that she never updates her blog either!!!!!! I told her I'd get to it when nursing school was over but I just finished studying for 4 1/2 hours straight so I need a break and what better thing to do then talk about myself!! hahahaha just kidding this post is dedicated to all those people in my life who are keeping me sane and confident.
Nursing school is the ABSOLUTE hardest thing I have ever done and I'm not going to lie, the thought of quitting has crossed my mind on many occasions but the thought of disappointing them keeps me from disappointing myself who is MOST important!!


This is what I look like these days!! Hahahaha no but really...it is. I either have stayed up late studying or I'm up early for school and clinicals. Scary huh.


This picture is old but I love it and I love these girls!! I am so grateful for such a supportive mom and my awesome sisters who sure know how to make a stressed girl laugh.


This is a HORRIFIC picture of me but Kendall was hugging me and that's a rare occasion!! =) I stinkin love my brother and all he does for me. He really is totally amazing and I know that he'll always be there for me.


My dad has been a rock for me. We may have our differences but he is always there when i need him. I am lucky to know that he will always and has always been there to pick me up when I'm down!! And hes the cutest papa ever!!!!

I am so grateful for my entire family. I've literally been so busy with school that is hardly feels like I'm even part of the family. It kills me to miss out on so many fun moments but I keep reminding myself that it will all be over in a year and then I'll be a nurse.




Sorry I couldn't choose a picture...I was torn between funny and serious but its my blog so I put both!! But seriously this kid has been a pretty great friend. We've definitely had our up and downs but WHENEVER I feel alone or need someone to talk to he is my guy. I can't count how many times I've texted him in doubt of my ability to be a good nurse and he's been there to support me. If I need to laugh, he's been there to make a joke, when I'm crying, he listens. Thanks so much CLINT!!!


This girl is my best friend of 20 years and she's been so great!! Cooks me chicken soup when I need to study and and is ALWAYS there for me!!!!! I freaking love your guts NAT!!


This kid is FaBulous...Ryan can always make me smile...look how excited he was to go to Eclipse with me!!! No but seriously, I know he isn't in the nursing program yet but its nice to have someone to talk to who is interested in what I'm studying!!


And McNev...hahaha this girl totally has my back. I love her to pieces and appreciate that she's always honest with me even if it may not be what I want to hear.

And Last but not least.....the girl who I go to when my world feels like it's crumbling and I just need a break from reality....

SHELBS!!!


I freaking love this girl...I love to cuddle with her...


and I love when I get to her house and she hears me at the door and yells... "B" (thats me) She is seriously the most amazing little girl and has such a gift for bringing love and laughter to our family...and she has the cutest lil brother who she thinks is "AWESOME"....

I love all these people so much and couldn't be more lucky. I love my life and I love nursing school. I leave clinicals feeling like I've really made a difference and even better than that I feel like I'm where I'm supposed to be!!! I LOVE IT!!!
