I have had a lot of moments over the last month where I have had to stop and breathe and tell myself everything will be okay and everything will work out the way it was intended for me! My biggest adjustment has been my new job as a nurse. I love it but hate being the new girl who doesn't know anything. I have been orienting with different nurses every time I go to work, which is so nice but hard too because everyone has there own way of doing things. I've adjusted to working 3 12 hour shifts per week instead of working 5 8's which killed me in the beginning but now I cant imagine going back to the 8's, having 4 days off a week is totally worth it. I started working nights last week which was a MAJOR adjustment for me...I have probably never in my life stayed awake from 7pm-7am then drove 30 minutes home, that was the biggest nightmare of being a nurse so far and I get to alternate between nights and days every other month so its something Im going to have to get used to. Its stressful being the new girl and not really knowing anyone or anything and learning everything from scratch but Im giving it my best shot and I truly am loving finally being a real nurse. School has been a bit stressful for me this semester too, Im taking a statistics class at the U before I start the BSN program in the fall and its taking every thing I have to try to get through that class. Math is definitely one of my biggest weaknesses but I know I can get through it and will never have to look back after August 5th. Life is always changing for me but the last month has really been about big adjustments in my life from work, to school, to friends and family. Things are always going on in my life but I just have to remind myself that everything is going to be alright, and to take a deep breath and just breathe.
