Spring Break

Last week was spring break for Rene and SeWon. Since I was in school, we didn't get to fly anywhere. They spent the first part of the week just hanging out at home or with friends. But Thursday - Saturday they got to go to Stake Youth Conference. It was a pioneer trek up in northern OK. I think they had around 100 kids participate... dressing in pioneer clothing, pulling handcarts, no electronics, backpacks or other modern conveniences. They had a great time!

This week is my spring break. I am spending it studying, both for classes and for the HESI. I did a couple of sections of the practice HESI yesterday and got 86% of the first part and 56% on the second part... So I have some work to do. I wanted to go visit Emma in Idaho, but last weekend would have been better and that didn't work for her. I thought I might go at the end of this week, but I'm glad now that I didn't. I really need to study and am getting a lot more done here than if I were traveling. So Emma, if you read this, I love you and will see you in a little over 2 weeks!

The worst/hardest semester

Everyone said Senior 1 would be hard - it wasn't for me. Everyone said Senior 2 would be a breeze. No such luck. I'm not even sure I even like nursing after this semester. My experiences with Baylor have been less than ideal. I would not want to work there. It seems the big push is for nursing schools to crank out hospital nurses, but I don't think I want to do that. I don't like the culture. I'm hoping now to first, make it to graduation and second, find a non-hospital job. Some of the nurses I have worked with as preceptors have said to stick it out because the “real” working world is very different from school. I’m not sure I believe that anymore. I should have stuck with technology.
