I've been thinking more & more about how I can actually put my nursing skills to work and do what I've always wanted to do (work in the medical field) while still being a stay at home mom if my future husband and I decide to have children early in life. I'm really hoping I can either work only weekends or work PRN... or be a work-at-home nurse answering calls for "call-a-nurse". So far this semester I'm really excited to see what lies ahead and I'm really excited to continue in the nursing program. But at the same time, I'm already getting pretty overwhelmed with my school work and we're only just beginning the 2nd week of classes. I just have so many classes to keep up with and so many assignments due in each one, and nearly always about the same time (talking about due dates) too. I've definitely been doing some heavy praying about how I can be a stay at home mom and still be a nurse. I really want to do both, but my number one prayer is that my future husband and I are in such a position that I can stay home with our children. It means so much to me. I want to be the one raising my own kids, not some day care worker, or even a grandparent. I could go on and on with my reasons why it makes sense to me but I won't... I have homework to do! lol

Lord: I know we go through this every day but please give me the knowledge as to why I actually wanted to go to nursing school.
Lord, give me the strength to make it through those boring three hour lectures without falling asleep.
Lord, please give me the patience to make it through twelve hour clinicals with instructors that can’t just give you the right answer and on the same note, give the nurses the ability to remember what it was like to be a student and give us just a little more respect.
Lord, give me the endurance to read all the assigned readings and be able to remember it when I am taking a test with four right answers.
Lord, give my family and friends the ability to realize I really am on the edge of insanity.
Finally, Lord, give me the vision to see that one day I will be a real nurse and I will never have to wear this ugly uniform again.
