I FINISHED!!!

Two weeks ago I started taking my CNA course.  It is required I take this class before I can apply for the RN program at SLCC (or to most schools for that matter).

I have to say these two weeks have been a much greater challenge than I expected.  Trying to get ready, 4 kids ready, and out the door each day can be quite a challenge.  Then physically 8 hours of school, my body thought it might not make it.  Each night I would come home to dinner, 4 kids (feeling completely neglected by me), and then a few hours of homework.  If I could get in bed before midnight it was a miracle. 

I can say I was tired!!!  Every single day felt like a huge mountain to climb, and each day I counted that I had survived another long day.

I did two days of clinicals, my first day was in working with patients in a phsyche ward and my second day was working long term care.  I have to say for the most part I enjoyed myself.  (But I felt extremely overworked by the end of the day. Every part of me was tired.)

Yesterday was my last day, and instead of celebrating...I found myself throwing up and running a fever.  I stuck school out.

And today I have to say...WAHOO...I am finished!!!  Yesterday I was too tired to say much of anything.
