So.. I went to church

So I went to church today... and we sing before the sermon, right? Well while we were singing I could not even focus because one of the female singers had the most dainty wrists, the most beautiful collarbones, and was wearing a loose fitted shirt and she did not look fat like I would have. She has everything that I don’t and everything I want and I hate myself for thinking that when I should have been focusing on something else. I couldn’t focus until she was out of my vision.. I am so jealous. Here’s to drinking more coffee!!!

New RN Update: REALITY CHECK

So.

I’ve been MIA from Tumblr, but I’ve been an RN for almost 5 months now!!! What?!?!?

I’ve been working night shift on a neuro tele unit and I wanted to talk a little bit about the reality of the beginning of your first RN job.

You graduate school: BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD You pass the NCLEX: BETTER THAN BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD You land your first job: ECSTATIC, IS THIS REAL LIFE, I MUST BE DREAMING!!! Begin orientation phase: I LOVE THIS! So much cool things to learn End orientation phase: Oh my god, I’m going on my own soon………. I’m terrified. Off orientation: When one shift you feel like there’s nothing else you’d want to do and the next you’re questioning your decision to be a nurse.

^ Simply put: being a new nurse is like being on an emotional rollercoaster. People don’t discuss this, but it needs to be said so we dont feel alone when we go through this. You go from such a high when you finish school to being smacked in the face with the real world. Finding your way as a new nurse can CHALLENGING. So many ups and downs. It’s a whole new world, new people with different personalities, you question yourself/doubt yourself, doubt others … There is so much to learn its can be overwelming. It’s kind of a mind f*ck.

That being said, it will get better. Stay positive, give yourself pep talks, run to the bathroom or the pantry if you need a second to get your sh*t together, and just do the best you can…..AND know you’re not alone. ❤💪

There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor.

Deborah Reber, Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul (via books-n-quotes)

Letting go doesn’t mean that you don’t care about someone anymore. It’s just realizing that the only person you really have control over is yourself.

I can never fight for myself, but, for others, I can kill.
