Psychiatric Nursing
Kind of ironic, don't you think? Just when we are all at the point of losing our minds with nursing school, they throw in Psych nursing! Too funny. The very first chapter is on stress LOL!!!! I think we are already very well versed on that subject. Experts even. After defining it and telling how stress and our environment interact, it goes on to explain ways of positively dealing with stress to become "adaptive" rather that "maladaptive" and guess what one of the ways of helping was? Writing in a journal or diary. Yay! Look at me, adaptive actions without even reading psych yet. I'll be damned lol! So that first chapter was OK. Got to the second, all about history of psych nursng and was getting sleepy. I decided, "Why not use my adaptive resourse and hop onto blogger?" So here I am on a Thursday night with only a four more days of semester break.
I haven't gotten nearly the amount of work I had wanted to get done, but I'm OK. We had a great two weeks. Last week, we went to Atlantic City for four days, three nights! We had a blast! I never spent so much time down there. It was an experience, for sure. We ended up only spending a little bit on gambling after Jamie won at poker on the last night there. Most of the money we spent was on food. It was so expensive to eat down there! But anyway, we had fun for our five year anniversary. I still love him like it was our first year, though. He and I have both grown so much since we have know each other. I think we push each other to do bigger and better things. He is my biggest champion, my reassurance, my best friend, my partner, and I couldn't be here without him. He has knowingly and wholeheartedly accepted my goals even though it affects both of our lives and it is just one of the reasons why I love him. Our lives have been crazy for the last couple of months (with personal stuff, I have to explain because our lives are always crazy) and it doesn't look like it's going to calm down but he always reminds me that's why there are two of us as partners. When one is down, the other picks them up. I don't quite know what happens when both are down :) Anyway, I thought I'd get a little sentimental for awhile.
In other news, my brother and I took the kiddies down to the beach today. it was cold and windy but we all had fun. Something about the way the kids run in the sand with the ocean behind them makes the world stop for a second. They were awesome! Until, of course, we got to the car and had to go home. They were a handful before we got lost and after, well let's just say they were ready to sleep and I was ready for earplugs :)
So I guess I should get back to reading about psych history. Gotta go into the school tomorrow and do some make-up stuff and then it's Memorial Day weekend. Hot dogs and hamburgers all weekend long! Bye!
