Nursing school

Well I have survived the 1st 5 weeks of nursing school.
I have taken tons of exams averaging about 3 per week on top of additional quizzes. The kids and Bryan are hanging in there. Our house has gotten messy but at this point we are just trying to survive and get only the necessities of the day (food, clean clothes, showers and as much sleep as it is allowed) It has been a roller coaster for the Ortons. In brief I can say how thankful I am for Bryan and all of his help. And above all, I am thankful to the lord for keeping us alive and well overall. I love Nursing school. Sometimes I do wish I just had a little more time to accomplish everything that is required of me . I have learned to live a day at a time and do my best to keep smiling. This past Friday, was my first day of clinic and I was assigned my first patient. I hope I remember everything I have learned so far so I can apply it. It is very exciting but also terrifying.
Here is a group picture of my class getting ready to go out on our first day of clinic.
