Ohhhh, computer. Here I am juts blogging away at home on the
couch with good intents of posting this as soon as we have some form of
internet connection. Soon,
hopefully. Real soon.
These past two to three-ish weeks have been madness. I started precepting, which in nursing world
is like an internship. I am supposed to
follow one nurse for 135 hours.
Luckily, I got a nurse who I knew before and he is pretty laid back and
relaxed. So, I pretend to be a nurse and
he makes sure I’m doing everything correctly.
It’s comforting having him there, and I wish that I always had a nurse
to double check my work. One wrong move
and I could kill a person. That’s a
little scary.
On top of precepting 39 hours a week, I’m also working 24
hours a week and going to class 8 hours a week.
So, from Sunday to Saturday I’m putting in 80 hours of some sort of
something related to nursing. Plus,
each shift begins at 0500, which leads me to wake up at 0330. So, I have been going to bed at 7:00pm. The worst part of going to bed early is that
I miss my cute husband. He has been
working nights, so he rolls in around 9pm and comes to snuggle me in bed for a
minute. We talk about our day briefly
with sleepy eyes and then he tucks me in before he goes to watch a movie on the
couch.
That makes for one sad Callie. The first week or two I would go to bed
crying because all I wanted to do was spend time with Caden but all I really
could do was sleep. Nursing school has
officially taken over my life and it makes me cry. Thankfully Caden is SUPER supportive and he
reminds me that, in 135 hours, this will all be over and I’ll be a real nurse
working only 3 days a week with no homework.
Who knows where I would be without Caden. He keeps my little engine trucking along. Toot-Toot.
…That’s an engine noise.
For those of you who blog-stalk me, you’ll remember that we
were originally going to be married in August.
Thank my heavenly stars that we decided to move the day up. Had we waited until August, I truly never
would see Caden. The only time I see him
now is when we go to bed and sleepovers didn’t happen when we were just
dating. Good thing we got married in
May, folks. Prayers were answered with
that decision.
Speaking of getting married, married life is
incredible. Cade is such a good, good,
good husband. He takes very good care of
me, especially during this precepting business.
He cooks dinner, cleans the house, folds our laundry, waters our little
garden, and always makes sure that I’m happy.
What a gem. I can’t wait for the
day that I can be a wife, instead of a nursing student. I look forward to dates, romantic nights,
snuggles, traveling, making babies, and being able to stay up late just being
silly. It’s so close I can taste
it. Eeeeek. So close.
So, there you have it.
That’s our life. I plan for some
good blogs in a few weeks, when I’m a little more sane. 31 days, 4 hours, 38 minutes until
graduation. And counting.
…now 37 minutes.
