Tired

Some days I just want to be a bum.

After hours of homework.

After having my arm twisted by a confused patient at work.

After troublesome interpersonal communication at this same place of work.

After endless laundry and dishes.

All I can say is #1stworldproblems

"And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me." 2 Corinthians 2:9

Flu Shot

Got my first ever in my life flu shot this week.

Basically got forced into it by work and grad school.

Work said if staff did not get the flu shot, then we would have to wear a mask within 4 feet of patients.  I really don't care about that.

But, school said, if we didn't get the flu shot we would be kicked out of class.  And I paid too much money for school to try and fight the system like that.

I have only one word to add to this discussion: Autonomy.

"Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones." Proverbs 16:24

100%

So I went back to school this semester to get my master's degree to become a nurse practitioner.

I really like it.  But it's hard.

It is fun because in my patho class we learn about things I have seen in my practice but in much more depth.

The first patho exam was not fun.  I failed actually.  So disappointed.

I'm also taking Theory and Research 1.  We are doing a research project that lasts this semester and next semester.

I'm doing mine on alcohol withdrawal and CIWA protocol.

I turned my midterm draft in this week.  100%.

I guess I am smart enough to be in grad school.  I was worried about not being ready, especially after not doing well on that first patho exam.
