Submitted/Update

I submitted my nursing school application today....YAY! Glad to have that out of the way and praying, praying, praying that I get accepted. I should know in about a month whether or not I've been accepted. I'm pretty confident, as I have a good GPA (way above the minimum requirements), previous degree in Health care, wrote a pretty good essay in my opinion (although limiting it to one page, double spaced is difficult), have a pretty good resume....with some healthcare experience. I really don't see any reason not to accept me? I did decide to write my essay based upon my CF....truthfully, having CF is what drove my passion to become a nurse. And I felt like if I didn't mention that, i wouldn't be conveying the true reason of my passion of nursing. I also included a little bit of "patient experience" on my resume. I hope they don't deny me because of my CF and transplant? I know several other CF and transplant patients that have been accepted into the UAB School of Nursing, and I think that would be discrimination if they did that? So we'll see. Please pray that I get accepted.

Back to studying....two exams tomorrow (Physiology Lecture Exam on final material and Physiology Lab Exam...comprehensive)....not near prepared as I had planned. Stayed up the majority of the night last night and probably will tonight too. I have an lab assignment that needs to be completed tonight, and then a project for my nutrition class due Friday. I plan on completing that on Friday, as I need every minute left to study for the Physiology Exams.

Also, Friday morning I have my appointment with the neurologist to evaluated the excessive shaking that has been driving me crazy! I hope they have a suggestion...but not looking forward to answering a million questions and convincing them it's not certain things (as I've done some experiments). I know all post-transplant patients have issues with shaking or "jittery" due to immunosuppresents (particularly prograf) and steroids. However, my issues with shaking were extremely minimal for about 4 years (about 1 year post transplant up until last year)...and now it is out of control....seriously. So we'll see if anything good comes out of this appointment.

Later! I hope everyone is having a great week!
