New Year’s Resolutions- people either love ’em or hate ’em. I personally like setting resolutions, as cliche as it may be. Setting goals and working to better yourself is something we all should do! It’s not something I do just at the beginning of the year though- I work to find my weak areas and make goals to help me improve through out the year.Read More

Hello! Long time no talk! I have missed this space and I am so happy to have some time to write something other than my research paper! 😉 If you know me, you know I LOVE all things coffee. One of my favorite things to do is meet at a coffee shop for a chat! Since I have been MIA for a while, its a perfect opportunity for some coffee talk. So, grab a hot cuppa coffee or tea, and join me for a little coffee talk and a short life update!Read More
Another class in nursing school is coming to an end, it is hard to believe! This class has literally flew by! It has been faster than any other class I have had so far. I don’t know that I ever see myself working in Peds, but I enjoyed the class and clinical and found it to be a lot of fun. Here is a quick wrap up of my experience in Pediatric Nursing.Read More
Prepare the night Before
I feel this is one of the most important things you can do! If you have to be at the hospital at 0630 for clinicals, you are going to be getting up early. The last thing you want is to be trying to find a pair of white socks at 0500! The night before, I lay out my full clinical uniform including socks and shoes. I pack my bag and make sure I have all my supplies. Also, I pack my lunch if needed, have a water bottle ready to go, and have something light for breakfast prepped. I even have my coffee pot ready so all I have to do is turn it on. Having everything ready to go will make for a much smoother and less stressful morning!Read More
