I've become such a planner!

Turns out I really do like to plan and organize my days, so I started actually using my Erin Condren planner. Get your own Erin Condren! It's a pretty pricey planner, but it's totally worth it! This year I'll be getting my second one, and to be honest, they get better and better every year. I've been the type to design my own things, and I once designed my own planner on photoshop, but when I got ahold of an Erin Condren I quite literally wanted to die. I do however create my own stickers for the planner, and if you wanted to get the ones from their website, you can personalize your own. I too personalize my own, though I design them in order to change the shape and style to whatever I want. I've been thinking of opening an Etsy shop to do so, but haven't completely decided. I wish they made the planners a little more customizable, but I think at this point I'm asking for too much. However I have been working on designing one for students in nursing school that has inspiration and quotes to help student nurses when they hit a bump in the road and need a little inspiration. I haven't seen any of those anywhere so it's a possibility. Either way heres what life with a planner has been looking like for me. I just started now in June so no other days/months have stuff written in them and theres still so much more to write but I like planning everything. I feel organized, and structured if that makes an sense!

Either way I think that if you're very type A like myself, an Erin Condren planner is the way to go! Seriously, and I'm willing to give you all some personalized stickers for your planners, whatever you want them to say, whatever shape you want them just email me at stacyh003@fiu.edu and I'll make it. I just have to mail them to you, and I would appreciate if you all would cover the shipping, but aside from shipping, they would be totally free

I'll post some examples of what my stickers look like so you all can see what I mean! I'll post them on an update of this post, as well pictures on twitter, and IG if you really want to see what they look like in the planner. My cutting machine has yet to arrive, so those picture might take a while to be posted, but I promise I will post them!

Don't hesitate to comment if you want some stickers! Do you plan your days? What planner do you use? Do you highly recommend it?

Disclaimer: I am in no way getting paid to endorse or promote Erin Condren planners, they never asked me to promote them or any of that. I truly do love the planner and use it.

Name Change

Welcome to the new blog, everything from before still remains, but the name and the point of this blog is completely different. I'm not going to medical school anymore, I've changed my mind to become a nurse instead. Now I know some people are going to think I'm crazy, and possibly criticize me but I know for myself it's the right decision. The reason I want to go in to nursing is because after I spoke to my sister about what happened when her incision got infected after her surgery, she told me that she mostly dealt with the nurses as opposed to the doctor. Doctors get most of the credit for the work they do, but nurses do a lot of work for patients too. I'm not in it for the credit or the pay, I'm in it for the satisfaction after every work day knowing that I did my best to make my patients feel better! I'm not 100% sure what type of nurse I want to be, but I would like labor and delivery nurse! 

I'm so excited but I'm nervous all at the same time. I'm only missing 3 pre-reqs to get in to the nursing program. Microbiology, Anatomy and Physiology 1 and 2, so I won't be applying for the program until next summer. I will be taking these classes starting fall 2015. I will be in the nursing program by the time I'm 24, and will be graduating by the time I'm 25, and I plan to go ALL the way and get my doctorates. I wish to become a Nurse Practitioner. 

This blog is going to follow my journey through "pre-nursing" (only 3 classes) and then through my nursing program. I'm beyond excited to go to nursing school, and can't wait to be a nurse! If you look above there is two tabs called "Pre-nursing" and "Nursing school." The point of those tabs is to make sure that if you're here to read about nursing you can just go directly to that, but if you're here about the other post, then you just click "Blog", and nothing about nursing aside from this post will be there! I'm just trying to keep everyone happy! 

If you're pre-nursing, or nursing student please comment and let me know how everything is going for you!! I would love to know!!!! Follow me on twitter!!! *PreStudentNurse*
