I got into Nursing School!!

Life is so crazy sometimes and I feel so blessed.  If any of you know anything about nursing school in California, you know that all of them (except private ones that cost 5 billion dollars) are on a lottery system.  Basically, you finish all the pre-reqs, apply for the program, and hope your name gets picked out of a hat to be chosen for one of twenty spots. Every year you apply, your name goes in the hat again. Ex- Year 1, one entry. Year 2, two entries yada yada. It's normally on average a 2 year wait, at best, 1 year, or a year and a half.  I know people who are on their 3rd time applying, and not getting in.  So, I applied for the first time this year and found out I was on the waitlist!! Even though my chances of getting in were slim, it was a positive way to begin the process.  I had just finished Medical Assisting School, and had gotten a job at the local hospital since I planned on a couple years wait.

Two days before I was supposed to start my job, I got a call that I got in!  It is absolutely incredible news and things could not be any better.  As you know, I'm getting married in a year so I'll be halfway through the program when I get married!! 

Even though I'm already in the program, there are SO many things to get done before the semester starts.  Even more stressful, since I was on the waitlist I have way less time to get these things done (medical clearance, background checks, paper work, ect...). 

But on another note, I will still occasionally be posting things about wedding planning, but I just won't have time for alot of my DIY projects until about 1 month before the wedding.  So blogging about it may be pushing it.

Instead, I will be posting about Nursing school and the daily struggles, stresses, and horror stories involved.

YAY!

Fresh Start

I have two other blogs.  I will be abandoning them and moving on the Pearls and Paisley Co.  I plan on putting a large amount of my time into blogging and creating and this is the perfect way. Link up parties, pinterest, and photography improvements will be new features on this blog!  I know that no one is reading at this point, but someday you will be!
