Another week down, and this week was all about SKILLS! I made it through my check-offs and got some serious hands-on practice in. 💪🏾 This week we worked on: 🩺 Introduction & patient interaction 🩼 Crutches 🧼 Handwashing 🧤 PPE 🧪 Stool specimen collection 💧 Fresh urine specimen collection

Welcome to WEEK TWO! At this point, me and these PowerPoints are in a committed relationship. 😂 Coffee ☕️ Notes 📚 Studying 🧠 Clinical skills 💉 And trying to remember 5,000 things at once 😭 But one thing about me—I’m gonna figure it out! 💪🏽 Week 2 of becoming an LPN loading… 🩺✨ #LPN

Whew 😮‍💨 I officially survived my first week of nursing school! 😂🙌🏽 And baby… when they said this program was going to MOVE, they were not lying. 😭 Between Body Structure, chemistry, medical terminology, assignments, and trying to figure out how I actually learn best, my brain has been WORKING o

Baby, I done made WORD SEARCHES and CROSSWORD PUZZLES for these chapters. 🤣🤣🤣 I told y’all I am NOT playing this time! Today we’re getting into Body Structure — 4 chapters 😭 but we’re taking it chapter by chapter because your girl WILL be walking across that stage. 💅🏽🩺 Coffee ☕️ Notes 📚 Puz

Whew… Day 1 is officially in the books! 😭💛 Everybody was everything I thought they would be, and I can already tell this journey is about to challenge me in ALL the ways. And baby, they wasted NO time. 😂 Tomorrow we’re reviewing 4 chapters on body structure, so tonight it’s time to rest, reset,

No more countdowns. No more “nursing school starts soon.” I AM OFFICIALLY A NURSING STUDENT! 🥹👏🏾 For the next 12 months, I’m locked in. School, studying, clinicals, motherhood, work, life—all of it. I know it won’t always be easy, but I didn’t come this far just to come this far. The goal:

Tomorrow, it officially begins. 😭📚 After all the planning, paperwork, drug screens, titers, buying supplies, getting the kids situated, figuring out work, finances, and EVERYTHING in between… I’m finally here. 24 hours away from Day 1 of nursing school. 🥹 I know the next 12 months are goin

As I count down the days until nursing school begins, I’ve been making some BIG decisions about what this next chapter is going to look like for me and my children. One of the biggest? I’ve decided to let my babies stay with their dad for my very first week of nursing school. 🥹❤️ And honestly

One week from today, I’ll be starting my LPN journey! Every late night, every sacrifice, and every challenge has led to this moment. I’m excited, nervous, and ready to learn everything I can. This is the beginning of a new chapter—not just for me, but for my family too. ❤️ Here’s to chasing d

Every setback became a lesson. Every tear became strength. Every closed door made room for something better. I’m thankful for another year of life, my children, new opportunities, and the woman I’m becoming. Here’s to 33—full of purpose, peace, and promise. Happy Birthday to me! 🎉🎂 #Ble

I’m stepping into a season where faith is louder than fear. A season where doors open that I couldn’t force. A season where peace replaces pressure. A season where healing, growth, and purpose meet. Nursing school is ahead. New opportunities are ahead. A new version of me is ahead. Whe

Today was the day… nursing school orientation! ✨ I walked in feeling excited, nervous, and ready for a new chapter. We went over expectations, schedules, uniforms, clinicals, and everything we’ll need to be successful in the program. Sitting in that room reminded me that this dream is finally be

Sometimes walking away isn’t quitting—it’s choosing your future. Today I made the decision to leave a job because the schedule wasn’t compatible with nursing school. Education is my priority right now, and if something doesn’t align with that goal, I have to let it go. There will always be an

Today I realized something… Preparation isn’t just buying books or scrubs. It’s making hard financial decisions. This pay period I’m choosing needs over wants: 🛏️ A bed frame (because books shouldn’t be holding up my mattress 😅) 🛒 Groceries to keep the kids fed 📖 Saving for my remaining

I can’t believe I’m finally saying this… nursing school is almost here! 💙 This isn’t just the start of classes—it’s the beginning of a new chapter for me and my boys. Every sacrifice, every late night, every setback has led to this moment. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing: 📚 Nursing

This season of my life is about discipline, growth, and becoming the nurse I’ve dreamed of being. As a single mom, I’ll be balancing school, work, studying, and family—but I’m ready for the challenge. Every late night, every exam, and every clinical is one step closer to my goal. I’m document
