Back in school for nursing. It is a challenge, but fun to be in that environment again. Always trying to find my place and figure out what my dreams are.

Sick, Snow and Stress!!!

Well, what a week! I can't believe that we have had three snow days this year already. We missed two weeks in the beginning of the school year because of the fire in the school, so I am sure that we are really getting behind in days. Poor Jackson was home sick with a really bad cold on Tues, still sick on the snow day and missed Thursday as well. I had to send him on Friday because I had class, so I checked on him at lunch when I picked up Olivia and he looked tired, but ok to stay.
I got a wonderful call on Wed night at 1130 (the night of the snow storm). My work called and said, "Where are you? You are on our schedule!!!" I knew that I wasn't scheduled, it was not on either of my calendar, which I am very good about writing in for obvious reasons. I think that the girl making out the schedule had made a mistake, she appoligized that morning. Well the supervisor that I talked to wasn't very nice about it. the nurse I had talked to that is on our unit had said that they would be fine without me, but the supervisor never said that. I could have just told her that I couldn't come in, but I went in anyways, which screwed up my Thursday for sleep (took me an hour to get home, usually a half hour) and they would have been fine without me. John ended up staying home a half day, since Jackson was home sick and knew that I wouldn't get sleep, thank you, John:)

Everything else has been ok. School is really pretty stressful, but I'll get through it. I have my first exam coming up on Wed. I should be studying right now, but I had to put a new entry on my blog, for fun!!! Anyways, off to work shortly. Hopefully it is a good week, wish me luck on my exam!! Hope all is well with everyone.
