Tomorrow is the "DAY"

I said I probably wouldn't blog today....but after 12 LONG hours of studying...I really don't know what else I could actually go over.  As I sit here "trying" to wind down so I can get a good nights sleep I have so many thoughts running through my head that I need to get out.

I have waited for this for a LONG time!  I have put in many long hours & days of studying.  I have spent time away from my kids that I will never get back.  I have put family & friends on the back burner for long periods of time.  There are so many sacrifices that I have been made for me to get to this point...not only by me but also my kids, my family & my friends.  I could NEVER express the gratitude I have for all the people who have stood behind me 110% of the time...through good & bad!  You have all pushed me in ways I didn't know I was even capable of. 

Nursing School has taught me a lot about myself as a person.  I have learned there are things in life that aren't worry about.  When I started this process I really didn't know what I was about to get myself into.  There have been many sleepless nights, lots of homework, lots of anxiety, LOTS of stress & LOTS of tears!  I had always heard nursing school was torture...but until you put yourself through it you never understand the extreme!

I have made some really good friends through nursing school & I hope to never loose contact with them.  There have been times I have seen them more then I have my own family...the last 4 days being one of these times.  I have laughed with these girls and cried with these girls.  We have lots of great memories that we can talk about for years!  We have spent some long hours studying & eating today...this was a picture taken on hour 7.

There is a lot riding on tomorrow...we have 2 BIG test!  I have tried REALLY hard to not thing about it that way...but the truth of the matter EVERYTHING depends on these two test!  I have done everything I know to do to prepare for tomorrow...and now I am leaving it in God's hands.  I am a firm believer in "EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON".  I have said LOTS of prayers & I know I have a lot of people standing behind me doing the same.  Thank you to everyone for all your support & encouragement!

Good Luck to all Nursing 250 students as we go take these two very important test tomorrow.  We ALL have a lot to be proud of...we have all come a LONG way & sacrificed a lot to get to this point.   Reminder to self:  JUST BREATHE!
