Back to Blogging
With my rather intense school/kids/work schedule the past couple months my desire to blog has gone the was of the dodo. School has kicked me in the teeth with the amount of homework and studying I had to do with the two classes.
Work has been going well and I have adapted to the night schedule rather well. It does get a little difficult after my long week, but overall not too bad. The experience at the hospital has been exactly what I need before I get into the nursing program. I am currently a PSC (Patient Safety Companion) at a local hospital which is basically a “Sitter.” I sit with patients that are fall risks, suicide risks or a danger to themselves or others. Since I am a big guy I tend to get put with the difficult more violent patients. this has been fine and it keeps me busy. One I get into the nursing program and see what my schedule will bring I plan on becoming a “TECH” on the floor and work with more patients. I want to keep that experience going in a positive direction.
School went well and my A&P class I got an “A” and should get an “A” in my Lifespan Development class. Next up A&P II and a Communications class. Then I will have the summer off and if everything goes as planned start the nursing program in the Fall 2011! Moving along quickly!
Kids
With the holidays coming up the kids are gong a bit crazy. Getting some great days and frustrating days especially with the 6 year old. With my work schedule and need for sleep at odd times I rarely see the 6yo during the week. He and 10yo come home from school and I go to bed shortly after. I see the oldest at his bedtime before I go to work. We are in the middle of rearranging rooms with the oldest taking the really nice basement bedroom so the other boys will also have their own rooms!
More to come… I promise!
“Take it one day at a time!”
“It is what it is!”
