A Selfish rant... :-s

Okay, first off I have to say I know what I am going to post may sound a bit selfish...but I can't help how upset I feel and it really really really upsets me. Thinking about it as well, I don't really express a lot of my selfish stuff so this is one of the few exceptions...if anything just to rant so i feel better....

Okay so here we go...

I just graduated from post secondary school and a few months ago. Some people in my class offered to be the "graduating comittee" last semester but we never heard anything about a graduation party and I heard that the graduation comittee kinda disbanded. So i figured that there was going to be no grad party...Nope I was wrong...literally on the SECOND TO LAST DAY OF CLASSES it was decided that there was going to be a party in June. THE SECOND TO LAST DAY!!!! unfortuantely I had already booked my vacation and will not be here on that day. This really upset me...for several reasons...
1) Who plans a big grad event second to last day we are all going to see each other!!!!!!!! Seriously the date should have at least been thought of a long time ago...and if the so-called "grad committe" did not have time to plan it, than they should have said somthing a long time ago and asked for somone else to take over...that's called responsibility and leadership!!!
2) I worked my butt off during these last four years....countless hours of crying, lack of sleep, suicide thoughts and lack of social life....I think i freakin deserve to celebrate and actually feel good about myself and recognize that I actually did somthing worthwhile. Graduating from nursing school is a BIG DEAL....
3) IT"S A FORMAL PARTY!!!!!! so anyone who knows me, knows i love to dress up and pretty formal dresses....Unfortuantely the only time i can think of that I would be able to dress up is at my wedding and graduation...It's somthing i've been dreaming about for four years...showing up in a nice beautiful prom dress....buying a nice prom dress....so nice....nope...now i'm down to one time i'll be able to feel special and beautiful....at my Wedding...not that i'm not looking forward to that....but it depresses me that it's the only time i can think of that i'll get to wear beautiful dresses and feel like a princess. Now the graduation party wasn't even going to be a formal thing...some people didn't want it to be..but majority ruled it to be a formal....if it wasn't a formal thing i wouldn't be so upset...
4) I want to celebrate my graduation! is that seriously a bad request? I feel like i'm missing out on apart of my celebration....which i put a lot and i mean a lot of hard work and sweat (please see above regarding the torturous four years).

Now i know what you're thinking....You're going on a vacation! how can you possibly be upset...and that is the selfish part....if i had known our graduation would have been on that date i wouldn't have put my vacation on that time. I also think that the so-called "grad comittee" really dropped the ball on the grad party...our class didn't even fundraise!!! That's what really gets me the lack of organziation from the comitte....some leaders.....most nursing classes start fundrasing and planning in third year!!!!!!! or so i am told.....

So there is my selfish rant...very upset at the "grad comitte"...upset i don't get to buy a nice prom dress...and upset that i'll be missing out on a party that i can only have once.....even if i am going to on a vacation....it's still very dissapointing...and i am quite aware i'm sound selfish but i can't help how i feel.....

Nursing Update

Hi everyone,
First off, i'm sorry for the very very delayed posting. I have been very busy both with school and life. Anyways here is a nursing update....
I am done school and therefore have my Bachelor Of Science in Nursing degree. I cross the stage on June 4th and write the CRNE on June 3rd. I am very nervous about this exam because if I do not pass than my entire four years was a waste of time and money. I am comforted in knowing that God knows what he has planned for me and it is good. Doesn't mean i don't have to study though :-( not a fun of studying things.
I am now working as a nurse at two hospitals. Before we are allowed to work on the floor we have to attend workshop #1....where we learned that in nursing study has shown that we go trhough "transition shock" were it will take approx. a year to feel confident. In around month 3-8 we are expected to feel doubt, uncertainty and question our career choice. You can imagine how scary this was to hear. Either way I am willing and eager to learn and grow as a nurse and help promote health and health awareness....GO NURSES GO!! woot!

p.s- Go Canucks Go!

Where Do I Go From Here?

Nursing, it's a challenging, stressful rewarding job. I only have three sets left of my final praticum and the transition between student and RN is fastly approaching. Which leaves with this hard pressed question...Where do I go from here? What aspect of nursing do I want to be in? Should I go into maternity and pediactrics? home care? ICU? ER? OR? Or do I take my friend's advice and go to California and work at Disneyland as an RN? I can see myself liking so many aspects of nursing that it is a challenge to decide. My future, career and ultimately my life rides on my decision. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly welcomed.

Jim Carrey's movie Yes Man a hit!.....People who park in exit ways are not

Hey again!
I went with my boyfriend to see Jim Carrey's new movie, Yes Man on Friday night. I must say, I really enjoyed watching it. The movie was fun, light, interesting character and a grabbing story line. I would recommend this comedy to anyone who is wanting to watch a movie where you don't have to think a lot and makes you laugh. It's a great way to forget all your stresses.

What did not take away the stress are people who do not know that they should park in a parking spot. You would think this is a very logical easy concept that even a 10 year old could grasp...apparenlty not. When I came out of the Famous Players in Coquitlam after seeing Yes Man, my boyfriend and I discovered that there was a car that decided to park in the ONLY exit way, leaving about 10 cars waiting to get out. What person would park in the ONLY exit way out!?!?! Now, on top of this, it was 11 pm...cold and pouring rain! Luckily, the nice people at Famous Players came out and shovled 3 feet of snow, giving us another way out. So Thank you Famous Players workers.

3 more months

Today was the first day of the last semester of my program. Right now I am feeling excited and scared at the same time. Mostly because it really just hit me of how close I am to graduating. It's the first day of the semester and already I am filling out an application to graduate from my post secondary school. I am now also preparing for the national exam that all registered nurse wannabes need to write inorder to practice nursing in Canada. The transition between student and RN is going so fast it's hard to catch my breathe. So thus begins the last semester of my program...willing and ready to go :-) 3 more months! 3 more months!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Happy 2009 Everyone!
Besides the unusal amount of snow this season, I hope everyone had a great Christmas holiday and a good start to the new year. I had three jobs over the holiday season... I have my two jobs at the hospital and I helped a friend of mine, who owns a store selling sports stuff like jerseys, clothings, hats ect. (GO Canucks GO)...I also managed to spend time with my family. On Christmas Eve I went to my uncle's house for turkey dinner, than on Christmas day my family came over to my house for christmas dinner...which consisted of turkey as well. I also went to this years Winter Conference put on by Campus for Christ (C4C) where i spent new years eve. The Conference was the most amazing experience of my life! There were key speakers, prayer walks, campus time, door to door evangelising, drama/theatre and music. Alas, the holiday Dseason is now over and it's time to go back to school. 3 more months to go till I graduate!
