the side effects of nursing school (the ones no one tells you about)


Okay maybe this picture is a bit extreme, but it cannot be denied that my dark under eye circles have become much worse since beginning nursing school. I know this how? 1) my under eye concealer is disappearing like it's going out of style, and 2) I drink coffee like it's going out of style. I know I should know better and just get more R&R, but, even though I know that layering on the concealer and pouring myself yet another cup of coffee can't be good in the long haul, sometimes it is absolutely necessary. Senior year of nursing school is such a time; sacrifices must be made! ;)  So until graduation in April, I shall continue to rely on much too little sleep, gobs of under eye concealer, and multiple cups of coffee each day to get me through. That and prayers. LOTS of prayers.

It runs in both sides of the family, too:( You are in a challenging part of your program but I have all confidence that you will do well because you lean on the Lord. I love you!
