Here I am...

So when I began this here spot I had all intentions to update about my nursing school progress. Well as y’all can see it didn’t happen. I had way too much going in. Life, full time job, kids and husband, and nursing school don’t leave you with much time for anything.

However I graduated in December, and passed NCLEX in late February!!! It’s been surreal. To have finally finished.

So now that I have time I figured I could dedicate some to this. Possibly talk about my nursing school experience still, NCLEX and job hunting. So if anyone has any questions in regards to all that feel free to ask.

Last thing, I feel like I need to change the blog name now since I went from future nurse to well nurse. But what to? 🤔

This guy comes in to the ER with chest pain and you won’t believe what happens

Full cardiac workup plus full PMH and PSH. Trop and 2hr trop negative. EKGs show NSR. Turns out they have an inherited disorder that predisposes them to develop blood clots. They take Coumadin, or rather they’re supposed to take it. The significant other rats then out and says the patient stopped taking it.

So naturally they get a CT scan and guess what? Go ahead. You’ll never guess.

The scan reveals a dissected aortic aneurysm. DISSECTED. AORTIC. ANEURYSM.

Oh. But it gets better. Name two things that don’t go well together. Here, I’ll help: dissected aortic aneurysm and Coumadin. Yeah. Bad. Not good. But remember, this patient stopped taking their Coumadin.

I know what you’re thinking: how is this patient living if their aorta dissected? A clot. This patient had a massive clot sitting at the dissected section of the aorta, preventing them from bleeding out.

And they wanted to go home and follow up with their cardiologist on Monday. To which I replied…

We don’t have cardio-thoracic coverage, so we ended up transferring this patient. But, damn, what a hell of a case.

So I've been MIA here for a bit because life has just been nuts. Let me start by saying that I passed my 3red semester. Honestly I didn't think I would. My Abuela had been having health problems for awhile, passed away the weekend before finals. She was on hospice before doing so and I didn't have it in me to do anything. I couldn't. I just wanted to spend all my time with her, enjoying her last moments here. Thankfully my friends, my nursing school family helped me through all this. They encouraged me, they called and texted me, they studied with me via phone even though they had taken their final already. I'm blessed to have so many amazing people in my life. Now I have summer assignments to do before going into my last semester. I'm nervous, scared and excited. It's been a long journey, I still have more to go but I see the light at the end of the tunnel.

As a student, the most comforting words you’ll ever hear are “i haven’t started either”

Also 5pm lecture, after coming straight from work.

Confession: When I’m having a tough time at work, I sing my own version of “Starboy” in my head...

Every day a patient try to test me, ah Every day a patient try to end me, ah
