Hello all. I have been gone for a while. Well, first of all, I failed lpn school. I wasn't devastated or anything because for some reason, the Lord was preparing me for what was to come. My mother went into the hospital 2 months before school I started and stayed until October. She spent 4 months there and during that time, she was going through a spiritual transition. I did not know at the time. She had a spirit of discernment. And she often told me that the Lord wasn't ready for me to start school at that time and that I needed to wait. But I thought I knew it all...Boy was I wrong. Like I said in a previous post, we as human beings can only see right now, but the Lord can see until the end of time. I started school anyway and little did I know, my mother was dying. She knew this. She went in June 12, 2008 with an awful infection in her exit cite. She was a dialysis patient. While in there, she suffered a heart attack which made her heart work only 10%. Even though I am the oldest child, I was considered her baby because I was a mama's baby and always clinged to her. Little did I know that she was giving up and on March 6, 2009, my mother, my "black queen" my best friend, my everything went home to be with Jesus. Valentines Day, she suffered a heart attack and was basically brain dead for 3 weeks. This is the hardest task I have had to tackle in my life. I just knew that I was going to lose my mind, but because of My Jesus and his love, I am alright and so is Mother Dearest. I just cut this story short because I am getting overwhelmed. But I wanted you all to know that I haven't given up on school nor life and I have missed ALLNURSES!!!

Been there...done that...I just stopped by to say hang in there and that it will get better. Don't get discouraged and I am glad that I failed. Weird...I know...There were a turn of awful events that took place in my life and it worked out for the best. Only God knows. We can see right now, but he can see until the end of time. Good luck!!

Nursng school is what you make of it. Personal things or lack of interest. There can be a number of things that makes nursing school so hard but it depends on that person. Good Luck!!!!

I kid you not...My instructor just stood in the classroom last week and made mention to that...I thought it was crazy for a minute until I logged on and read this post...She also said "afterall, it is the nurses who spends 99.99% of the time with the patient"....I feel the same way...I start Wednesday and I get nervous everyday... Good luck and just pray...I feel the same way....I get them done though... It is a lot to remember, though...Just take your time and try and remember the things your instructors emphasize... I tried to remember the whole book...lol....Not gonna happen...Good luck!!!!I will come back...Awesone gesture...There is really nothing that can be done about beliefs...Just respect their decision...interesting......Not being sarcastic or anything...But can men have postpartum depression? I thought that came along with pregnancy.....I really would love to hear more about this....I know...If I can survive until June 19th...Just kidding...I just took another test so wish me luck.....It is well worth it in the end, but the stress has become so overwhelming to me...On top of everything, the administrators are a bunch of crazy people who absolutely has no sypmathy for us. Our clinical sites are just now being assigned, which I have no problem with where I go...BUT...I cannot do night clinicals because of baby sitting issues....We don't know who is on the night clinicals yet...But I know some people are going to be upset....((((sigh))))...I can just scream...Well, I am off to hear another hour of pure boredom.....Join the club....I don't have any relief anywhere...I don't think my brain can hold anymore information....OOh, please don't get me started...Mine started out sooooo supportive and now, I think he would love to see me fail...And being that this is a public forum and I am respectful to others, just imagine what I said and how the conversation ended...Someone wasn't happy and it wasn't me!!!:)
