Two jobs & Nursing School.
1. i work at the bank. It sounds easy and when you go to your bank it looks easy, BUT HOLY HOT DOG it is the hardest challenge i've had so far. All the laws and memorizing and Do's and Dont's...it gets really overwhelming.
2. I'm a pediatric autistic habilitator. Have been with the same patient for the past 2 years, watched her grow and learn so much! Also, we do therapy with speech therapy. Challenging job to break through an autistic spectrum, but so rewarding and so so worth every bit of progress.
3. Nursing school. enough said.
I typically work 10-12 hours a day with literally NO break in between jobs and a 30 minute lunch in the day time. Go home, shower and eat only to do it again the next day. Then comes school, wake up extra early to get my learn on and after class, go to work again. (sometimes im lucky and have the rest of the day off from ONE of the jobs, but have to work with #2).
Weekends: I never wanna do something. My buddy shuts off and wants to rest. Not to mention, i work all of saturday from 8am-5pm. So really, come night time...i just want to sleep.
Thank goodness of Sundays cause it's my only day to rest.
HOW IM GETTING THROUGH THIS? i dont know.
I WANTED a second job. Working with #2 was perfect and I was able to cover all my bills but another job would just facilitate my lifestyle and make it easier to save. So I gratefully got a second job fairly quick and ever since i have not had time to just play. I'm such a grown up.
i just think sometimes, i bite off more than i can chew and all i need is....a break.

I really don't know how you do it Darlene. I almost quit this last semester because of how overwhelmed I felt and I only had one part time job. You seriously are amazing for doing 2 jobs plus nursing plus having roomates. how is this block treating you though?
ReplyDeleteOh Kristi King you are going to make the greatest Nurse and i am so proud of how far a long you are in your program! I can't wait to be where you are. This block is going well so far,...i got a 75 on my cellular biology test (failed it) so that was a damper but i really missed stupid questions so it was shame on me. but so far so good. I just want it to be August so i can do Labor and Delivery. aww babies! Hope you're loving Texas!!
