Just like juggling work, family, and the holidays. No mater what the combination, the holidays add an additional stress on to our plate. If we let it. I know, […]

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. […]

Confidence

It has been way too long since I wrote last. Over the last couple weeks, I lost my confidence. I received a poor grade on my pathophysiology exam (the one I described in my last post) and it shook me up pretty bad. I started to question if this was the right path for me. […]

Need a little Pick Me Up Between Study Sessions

This yoga video is one that I have done many times, especially when I’m starting to feel a little discouraged or down on myself. I highly, highly recommend giving it a shot! I just did this last night and it’s what I believe gave me the motivation to write another blog. Adriene’s yoga videos have […]

Staying strong

This past week I had two exams, back to back. I had health assessment Monday and patho physiology Tuesday. So, the weekend prior I studied for both tests. I will admit I studied for my health assessment class a bit more thoroughly. However, that doesn’t mean I excluded my patho physiology test material I needed […]

Studying Tips

Saunders Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN (Saunders Comprehensive Review for Nclex-Rn) This book is going to be my best friend throughout nursing school (I love colors so I thought it was a must to have my hair match the book in the picture). Every time I’ve needed clarification on anything thus far this book as […]

2nd Week

Alright. Second week down. First couple exams this week in addition to make up classes. This week was another full week. But I did it, I did well on my exams, I don’t have any missing assignments, we’re getting the internet system figured out. I think the positives of this week override the negatives, the […]

First Week of Nursing School

So, my first week of nursing school is just about over. I have to admit it was a bit rough. Just about everyone knows that nursing school in and of itself is intense. Well, to make things just a bit more difficult, my nursing school’s entire system was down. This has made it quite difficult […]

A Tid Bit About Me

Hi! My name is Makenzie and I am currently a Pre-Nursing student who is also getting married next year. I have a little obsession with organization so there will be a bit of that in here. For both aspects, nursing and wedding planning. In addition, I wouldn’t be able to organize as well without some […]
