My preparation of schooling has begun. My semester started a week ago Monday. I am taking the classes that I need to take in order to get into the nursing program. I am taking a class that will certify me as a CNA(certified nursing assistant). It's an eight credit hour class crammed into eight weeks. I am at class four hours a day, four days a week. It's going to be a crazy eight weeks! Plus, I am taking a Composition II class! YIKES!!! Leading up to this semester, I was very excited! I was looking forward to finally working toward what God was calling me to do. I am very rarely excited for school, but since I knew it was in God's will I was actually looking forward to it. I am little bit stressed now because it's a TON of work! God has been helping me so far though and I know He is faithful to get me through the next 7 weeks!
Last week we had our first skills test, meaning we had to show our instructors that we knew how to wash our hands right, how to do restraints and how to put on a mask, gown and gloves. I was one of 3 out of 30 that was able to pass all three the first time! We have three chances to pass each test, if you don't pass the third time you fail the class. Most everyone was failing the mask, gown and gloves test and praise the Lord I was able to pass it! We also had our first lecture test yesterday and I got an 100%!!!! I was SO excited!!
Please pray with me that I continue to do well and that I will continue to work hard for God's glory! I tend to procrastinate a lot and you can't really do that with this class and I don't want to do that! Also, pray that I do not get discouraged. I am a very relational person and between my puppy and school I can't really hang out with people as often as I would like to. I also have to say "no" a lot and I really don't like that either! :-)
Thank you for all of your prayers so far!
Love you all!
Julie
