The unofffical beginning

Today, I purchased the remainder of the nursing textbooks for the semester. I was a bit shocked that my books total $1011!!

Tonight, I am excited to report that I started my reading assignments for the first week of class. I read about hand washing, changing a hospital bed, and giving a bath.

I totally can not get over how many books I have for my first semester. In fact, I get overwhelmed if I think about it too much.

I just read that Belmont's nursing students from May of 09 had a 100% pass rate for the RN examination! Totally awesome.

I am so excited and counting down the days. 13 more days until I am an official nursing student. And, tomorrow is my last day as a domestic engineer. Prayers are appreciated as we maneuver this huge life transition. Thank you!

It is August!!

I looked at the calendar this morning and said "wow. It is August! I start nursing school THIS month!!" I am sooooo excited!

I am hammering out the final details of attending school. I will purchase my text books this week. I will also see my older child off to Kindergarten and see my youngest child off to daycare for the first time this week.

The closer I get to Aug. 24, the better I feel about everything. I get to go back to school! I get to study something I really enjoy. I can't wait to see the ways the Lord is going to use me to help other people through the field of nursing. I am eager to see the way He surprises me in the way the children are well cared for while I am away. I am excited about making new friends while I am at Belmont. I am thrilled that I get to return to such an awesome school again. I am thankful for the way the Lord has provided for me and taken care of every last detail of the nursing school process.
