NCLEX studying
My life for the past couple of weeks and until I take my NCLEX-RN exam next month! Please keep me in your prayers. I am praying for a 75 question test and praying for endurance if I get 265 questions. (The NCLEX-RN is a computer adaptive test and depending on your answers to the questions, the computer determines if you pass/fail after so many questions).
Grateful that the Lord has brought me to this point. One day when I feeling stressed out about studying, I read Psalm 46:1-11 in my devotions. I was so encouraged by Psalm 46:10 "Be still & know that I am God, I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! The Lord of hosts is with us! The God of Jacob is our fortress".
This verse reminded me that God is in control and that He is victorious over all. It was the verse I needed that day.
While I was reading this verse, I had KLOVE (Christian radio station) on my computer (usually I don't have music on when I'm reading, but for some reason I left it on). As I was reading the devotional, the guy on the radio station was saying that he read from the same chapter I was reading Psalm 46:1 which says "God is our refuge & strength a very present help in trouble".
I knew this wasn't a coincidence. It was SO cool to hear the same verse from the chapter I was reading at that exact moment. The Lord is so kind. I love moments like this-it reminds me that the Lord is always aware of my needs.

Took a break one day and made this delicious 7 layer dip! Love to snack on it when I study :]

LU Uniform Burning
Every year, the graduating nursing class gets together to burn the LU nursing uniform. I have been waiting for this day.
Before burning our nursing uniform we each went around and shared a story from nursing school. It was a great way to end the year and we heard some pretty funny stories.
Junior year we wrote 10-20 page profiles every week. I enjoyed throwing my profiles in the fire and watching them burn. ;]

Nursing Class of 2011
I promised Mom that I would save my LU nursing patch. :]
My Critical Care Friends
ACLS Certified
ACLS Certified.
I enjoyed this class SO much this semester. This class helped me feel more prepared to lead a code if needed in the hospital.
To become ACLS certified we had to pass a written test and successfully lead & complete a mock code. The instructor was so great! He said that each of us could practice and then he would test us. Little did we know that the practice was actually the test and everyone passed. Knowing that it was "practice" made us feel a lot less stressed. :]]
Last Clinical
In April, I officially finished my clinicals as an undergraduate. My friend & I celebrated our last clinical at 12 am at McDonald's. My experience on the STICU was amazing. I am so glad I was able to be on that unit. I learned so much and the nurses were so kind to me. I will miss that unit!

I love seeing my baby nephew.

By the grace of God, my FINAL semester of Nursing school!!
Nursing classes start this week! I love my schedule this semester. I only have class on Thursday & Friday!! :]
This semester I'm taking Community Nursing. My clinicals for Community start next Monday for the next 4 Mondays! I will be working at a Public Health Center.
Advanced Critical Care- I took Critical Care last semester & I am looking forward to Advanced Critical care. After this class, I will be advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) certified. I hope to learn a lot from this class, so that I can be better prepared to work in the ICU!
And Leadership in Nursing. For Leadership, I will be on the Surgical Trauma ICU (STICU) night shift for 5 weekends during the semester. I am SO excited, I really wanted to work on this unit for Leadership. This class will also help us get ready to take the NCLEX, by reviewing questions & test taking strategies.
1 Corinthians 15:10 says, "But by the grace of God I am what I am, & his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was NOT I, but the GRACE of God that is with me". I love this verse by Paul. I know that I have made it this far because of God's amazing grace in my life. There is no way I would be where I am without my Savior, Jesus Christ. I have felt His grace in numerous ways during Nursing School. May I never forget His work in my life. May I honor & glorify Him this semester!Sunday, January 16, 2011

Happy New Year!
What a great year 2010 was.
I'm thankful for all God has taught me this past year.
Top Highlights of 2010:
1. Going on a medical missions trip to the Bahamas. It was a pleasure to show Christ love to others around the world.
2. Deciding to stay home for summer vacation instead of finishing up school early (which would mean missing my summer vacation with the family and not seeing my new niece & nephew) -This was a rough decision for me to make. After lots of prayer & advice from family, God moved my heart. He has taught me to trust in Him & His plan for my life.
Psalm 37:3-5
Trust in the Lord, & do good; dwell in the land & befriend faithfulness. Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, & he will act.
I'm so glad I followed the Lord's prompting, even though at the time I was disappointed. Staying home for the summer was the best choice for me. No regrets!
3. Baby niece, Gabrielle Adora was born in May
4. OBX vacation with the family
5. Baby nephew, Stephen Lawrence was born in July
6. Starting my last year of Nursing School
7. Seeing my Grandpa Marguy before he went to be with the Lord & celebrating his life with family
In 2011 I'm looking forward to :
1. Getting to know my Lord & Savior more through His Word. & Seeking his guidance for the future.
2. Graduating from Nursing School
3. Taking the NCLEX & becoming Kelly Kovlak, RN
4. Moving back home from Virginia
5. Staring my first job in the hospital
6. Meeting my baby niece/nephew in August!
