Want to know a secret?

Getting accepted into nursing school will not, at least immediately, make your life any better. Your mom's a stripper? Dad ran away when you were 2 years old? Have a grandmother with a killer heroin habit?
I assure you, the acceptance letter will not make these things go away.
Almost makes me want to throw my hands up in the air; swing a white towel.
But sorry life, it's not gonna happen. I am staying focused and positive; keeping my eye on the goal. I can't wait until my first round of clinicals.
Heck, I can't wait to step foot inside a classroom :)

Accepted

Hi.

I am optimistic to a fault.

Also, annoyingly ambitious.

The glass is not only half full but oh my goodness let's do what we can to make totally full.

I smile and I talk... a lot.

Specially today. Specially because I got accepted into nursing school for the fall!

So extremely excited.

This is my first post documenting my journey to and through nursing school as I fight not to lose my determination and positive outlook on life. I know there will be ugly things fighting right back.

Time to buy some scrubs and sensible shoes.
