Many of you may remember that I have been going to school for Nursing. I am currently attending a community college for my Registered Nurse degree. I started out going to college straight out of high school. I started in the Summer of 2009 and completed a good bit of core, but not all of it. I was living on campus at this time and found it really hard to study plus it was expensive. So I moved back home and started commuting.
In the Fall of 2010 I applied for the Nursing Program, and I got in. Keep in mind that I was still fresh out of High School where I never studied a day in my life, plus I still had a good bit of core to finish. I was leaning onto my own understanding instead of God’s. Well, as you can imagine I ended up failing the first semester. In nursing you have to have a 75 in order to pass and I had a 74.8, they don’t round up. Seeing how I failed both classes, I had to wait TWO more years before I could apply again. In those two years, I grew spiritually, mentally, and well I guess physically. God has taught me so many things throughout and I know that He will continue to teach me all the way till the end. Also throughout those two years, I finished my core and got right on track for nursing. My dad even started going to school with me, fun! Hehe.
I applied for the Nursing Program in the Fall of 2012, with high hopes that I would get in, but see their I was again with leaning on my own understanding and not taking it up to God, plus I still had things that I wanted to do and my priorities just weren’t right. Well, Fall comes and go and I am still stuck at home waiting. I pray earnestly throughout this waiting period, and re-apply for this Spring. One day while my sister and I were riding around town, I told her that 2013 was my year for things to happen.
This past Wednesday on 12/12/12, my hopes and dreams, and prayers came true. I received my acceptance letter! However though my dad did not make it in. So as you can imagine it was a sad, but happy and exciting day!
I am so scared, but excited about being a nursing student, again. So here is me turning in my notice for blogging. I would like to blog every now and then, but I am not going to make a promise. I am going to devote all my spare time to studying for school.
I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and I ask that you will all please keep me in your prayers!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!! I’m a nurse and found school to be hard, but doable. I did not start blogging until being a SAHM. Hope your classes go well.
