What you didn't know about nursing school

So usually I do a Sunday post but I just didn't have time this weekend! I had an anatomy test at 9 on Monday morning so I basically spent all weekend studying (there was a little time spent watching the super bowl and relaxing with friends.) But since I have been spending so much time doing school work this semester I decided I would give you a glimpse into what it's like!

First and foremost the nursing school is really disorganized so we have a Facebook group to keep us sane. Whether it's about anatomy, football tickets or getting a ride somewhere, if you have a question, you post it here for a guaranteed answer.



There is also some shenanigans on the nursing Facebook page...a lot of posts like this:
U Mich nursing students love cats...and memes

And this:


That's what happens when your major is almost all girls!

Not only are we connected virtually but we have all of our classes together so we're together all the time! 


We walk together
Off to the dining hall!

Eat together
Lunch with Reid

We wear scrubs together: 

Class of 2015

We Celebrate holidays together

Happy Halloween from Adelle and Amanda

And most importantly we eat together. The nursing school gives us so much free food! Just today I got hot chocolate in the morning and candy in the afternoon!

I spent last semester hating nursing but this semester I am working on embracing it. We are actually getting to learn skills like taking vitals and listening to heart sounds. Plus, in what other major do you get to do this?


What is/was your major?

Did it come with an perks?

    Just wait until you have to use that lift on a patient. It takes 4 nurses to remember how to use it, then another 4 to hold everything the patient is attached to. Then you get really scared that the patient is going to fall out of the thing. And when you least expect it, when the patient is suspended above the bed, the patient poops. What a mess. True story.

    I am so jealous! It looks like you have such a great group! I was an English major and there were NO perks. There were a bunch of English majors that smoked on the front steps of the English building--um, no thanks!

So one of my favorite blogs Paleorunnergirl just did this post and I thought it would be fun! So here you go: 1. What is your favorite meal? You know…I really just love food. But these days I would have to say crab cakes and broccoli. 2. How many times have you been in love? Zero. 3. What is your Starbuck’s order? I used to work there so this is a very loaded question. Here are my top 5: -Tall soy no water chai light foam -Tall Americano in a Grande cup with extra room (I add 2% milk and equal myself) -Double tall soy latte light foam -Venti iced passion tea 6 shots sugar free vanilla, no classic light water light ice -Tall espresso frappacino, no frappucino roast skim milk no whip  You had no idea how loaded of a question that was! 4. Action/Comedy/Drama/ or Romantic Comedy? Romantic comedies all.the.way.  My favorite romcom. I like them all though! 5. What was your favorite TV show when you were a kid? When I was really little I liked Arthur. 6.

Whining While Working Out

I know I haven't blogged in a while...I do think about it a lot but I haven't had anything exciting to say! I'm still just babysitting and working out. But working out is the key part...I have had some REALLY hard workouts. Sunday (mother's day) I went out intending to run for 70 minutes and by about 45 I thought I was going to die. I mean not really die but I thought about asking someone if I could borrow their phone so I could get a ride home. It. was. awful. I mean I guess this is true...but I was pathetic. Then Monday I reluctantly put on my running shoes but then I looked outside and it was raining and I just decided to do laundry instead. Tuesday I had an okay 40 minutes on the elliptical while watching Sex and the City (thanks for lending it to me Sara!). I also visited my aunt, uncle and 2 cousins so it was a nice day. Me with the newest addition to the family. Then today I decided I would do a hill workout. I ran about a mile to a field that
