My Nursing Life

Staying Organized

If there’s any advice I can give to a fellow nurse or a nursing student, it’s to stay organized. Nursing school is extremely overwhelming and if you don’t keep your dates organized you’re probably going to feel like you’re losing your mind. I felt like I was losing my mind and I’m an extremely organized […]

Since graduating from nursing school I have been “figuring it out.” More like I feel as though I’m stumbling my way through and hoping to learn from the fumbling in the process. Alright, let’s just get right into it! As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I graduated in May 2021 with my bachelors degree in […]

Pediatrics Cheat Sheet/Study Aid & MORE

Raising Each Other Up & Planting seeds

There’s been so much that has happened over the past couple years. I could write so many posts about 2020-2022 and maybe I will at some point. But that’s not what this post is about. This post is about raising other people up and planting seeds for people in the process. Let’s take a breath […]

COVID Vaccine Education Sheet

In my nursing program, I took part in a Vaccine clinic. Our project was to inform the community about the COVID vaccine. So, my group and I created a poster to help educate the community around our clinical site. There is a lot of great information on there so I thought I’d share the information […]

Understanding My Mental Health

Mental illnesses are a tough subject to discuss. Most people don’t acknowledge their own struggles. Mainly because we’re taught at a young age to hide our feelings, to not express too many emotions, to always be brave. But from my experience, that doesn’t always work. Yes, there are times that we need to be brave […]

Management of the Older Adult Two: Medical Surgical “Med Surg” Two

Well, 2020 has been a bit difficult for just about everyone. Probably a bit more difficult than this course is. So, that means we could all use a little help. I have attached my study guides from my Med Surg 2 class. There’s a Doc available for each exam for download. I recommended adding whatever […]

Management of the Older Adult

Med Surg 1 is a very in depth course where you pull in pathophysiology and health assessment and apply it. It can be very intimidating. At least I was EXTREMELY intimidated with this course. Still, I MADE IT! I have attached a few study guides that helped me throughout this course. Each one organized slightly […]

Quarantine Boredom

I keep seeing people post things on social media about how bored they are. So, I thought I’d write a post about how I’m keeping myself from boredom during this interesting, new, and scary quarantine time. Planting I haven’t had too much of a green thumb before but I have also not been stuck at […]

Don’t Forget to Take Care of Yourself

We live in a society where we go, go, go, and then we go some more. We forget to check in on ourselves. I say this because I am also 100% guilty of this. Unfortunately, I tend to realize how little I’ve checked in when it seems too late and I’m having a break down. […]

Stay Organized

Nursing school is a lot, help yourself out by staying organized. I stayed organized by color coding EVERYTHING and I mean everything. My planner, my notes, my books, everything to help keep my mind just a little more sane while losing it in nursing school. So, I’ve created a digital planner that just by looking […]
