Now What?

How about an update! Weeeeeeeeee. ok enough with that.  As most of you know I graduated from nursing school last week.  Well now begins the stress of finding a job and taking the NCLEX.  I thought that the NCLEX would be a breeze but now I am not so sure.  I have done poorly on all of the practice tests so far and just dont have the motivation to study. Ugh! Also as most of you know I suffer from Bi-Polar disorder, well Im not suffering as much as annoyed.  Anywho, now that my illness is becoming more and more under control i have a new affliction.  Before I was diagnosed and medicated I was not aware of my behaviors and moods and how they affected the people around me.  Now that things are settling down and I know what to look for I live in constant fear of the downward swing.  I now also know when they are coming. It is terrible, and miserable.  I wish I could just find that happy medium and never have to experience this. I want to be normal.

Interview From Tracey!

1. How long have you wanted to be a nurse and why do you think you chose this field?
 I have always know that I wanted to do something medical.  There are lots of Dr's in my family.  I actually started college pre-med but didnt realize you actually had to go to class, so I ended up with a 0.5 GPA that semester!  After having my first daughter I decided to go back to school and Nursing seemed like the thing to do.
2. What has been your favorite thing about school so far and the worst?
  My favorite thing so far is either the new people I have met or the hands on things I have gotten to do the worst is the unforgiving nature of the program and the run-around.  
3. If you listed out the charcteristics of a perfect husband what would they be?  What would be the ones that were deal breakers if the guy didn't have and which ones would your cross off to be with someone?
Ooh this is a hard one.  Physically I would want them to look like (well lets face it) Josh.  But I would want them to have a sense of humor, love my kids and love food as much as I do.  I dont want them to be wasteful but I want them to not be a total tight ass with their money either! (I never want to have to call to get permission to buy hotdogs again!!!) Deal breakers would most likely be job related. If they didnt have a real job, car, home of their own, Im out!!! I am a hopeless romantic, so I would like someone who at least make an effort to be romantic once in a while. I am also really affectionate so I would want someone the same. Im sure there are more but I cant think of them right now!
 
4. Talk about a favorite childhood memory.
  When i was growing up we would have sunday bbq's with all of our neighbors. I loved it and always had a great time
5. How do you plan on celebrating graduating this semester? 
  I plan on ignoring my personal oprah as much as i can and just lose my self in school.  I just have to accept that my #1 fan is gone.
talk about how great I am...hahahaha JK
  Tracey is the coolest person in my class!! I wish I could be just like her!!!
