    my husband....the jerk......sorry this is a rant :)

    lizzyberry replied to HeatherTN's topic in General Students

    You can do it. If you want this bad enough, nothing will get in your way. Like Randy Pausch said "Brick walls are for people who dont want it bad enough." Do not let him get in your way, it can be done with your families support.

    Waking up early again for clinicals

    lizzyberry replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Students

    I always have trouble falling asleep at night. Most of the time I have to take a sleeping pill but then I have to deal with that hangover. So you cant win but only 16 more weeks for me of having to wake up early, then its off to my night owl shift .
