Introduction

Hi everyone! I used to have a blog called "Diary of a Busy Nurse", but long-story-short, user error made AdSense incredibly difficult to use. :)
I'm starting fresh on this blog and integrating some of my old posts here to capture the same content!

Who am I?
In the meantime, here's some information about me!
I'm currently a nursing school at Chamberlain University, which is what my previous blog related most of it's content to. I am also a Public Liaison for a non-profit called Meals by Grace. I am in the interim of creating my own non-profit that ties to my core goals in life.

Why Life of a Do-It-All? 
Everyone knows a few Know-It-Alls, and by no means am I claiming I know any percentage of ALL knowledge, but I do TRY to do everything I can. I tend to say yes to everything I can and am slightly addicted to having a full-plate of activities. We'll bond over this equally positive and negative personality trait over time, but its a mini explanation of the blog title. I also wanted to switch the title so I could encompass more than just nursing school related postings.


My Core Goals 
I currently have 9 Goals or Areas that I am passionate about and want to impact throughout my lifetime. I have a mini-book that has my bucket list, goals, and yearly resolutions! This grows every-day and somethings seem vague, but I do have specific targets for everything....  For now, here are my 9 main focuses: 
1. People Struggling 
This one might seem vague, but I do have targets within this that I want to tackle. As said earlier, I am trying to open my own non-profit, and in time that will be tiered into two. 
2. Hunger 
3. Thirst 
4. Solitary Confinement 
I personally could have a 5+ hour long conversation about why, but it's something that I am passionate about. While I might not be able to END this part of our legal system, I would like to ease its impact upon inmates. 
5. Foster Care
6. Writings & Anecdotes about Mental Illness 
7. Women in STEM 
I have a business outlined for this, and don't want to spoil it! 
8. Children's Neural Prosthetics 
This is a professional goal, and above all else a goal to help children. Many of my professional goals have a list of its own, but that's for another day! 
9. TINSHB 
This is a book I would love to write, no spoilers!

Focusing in Chunks

-
Many of those who walk through the doors of nursing school are already predisposed to be analytic, task-oriented, and able to synthesize information. While that might be handy for the job or many of the things that we are taught throughout the education process when it comes to deliverables those can be some harmful traits to have. Yes, it is fun to have many of the necessary deliverables done ahead of time, and to being offloading so most of your work is done ahead of time... if only there was this work ethic and ease in high school... but in nursing school, everything is given at a certain time for a reason. Sure, you can work up to your first exam, but you might be hindering yourself if you get TOO ahead. Currently, I am working up to each exam, but trying not to get ahead of myself. I am currently trying to gain my GPA some cushion points (in Adult Health no less...) by only offloading to a certain point so that I can stay focused on the information that is on the next exam. ...

Get Pumped!

Per usual- it's been a bit since I've posted on my blog and I wanted to give a slight life update into the projects that have been on my plate. Since the start of The Non-Profit, it has been hard work trying to juggle each avenue of what needs to be done. - Somehow the list never ends, but the excitement grows with it! We are currently trying to grow our audience, partnerships, and investments across the board. We have many goals and the partnerships we have formed just make me more and more excited for the future to come. More so, school is exciting but I am clinging onto the edge of my seat! Everything is hectic and crazy as usual!

Going to the Capitol Building

Last Tuesday, 1/15/2019, I had the extraordinary opportunity to go to the Capitol building with the Staff of my school to talk to our representatives about some of the legal action that nurses need within our field. Two examples of what we talked about are: APRN being able to order imaging studies in all cases (not just emergency)  Tax credit needs to be given to nursing preceptors  We were able to meet with GNA (Georgia Nurses Association) to go over what our mission is, after that, I was able to drop the gifts we brought into the offices of the representatives I was given. Next, we entered the capitol building. After going through security we made our way to the Georgia House of Representatives floor and sent pages to get our representatives. We talked to a few while waiting, and while my two assigned representatives both were not available, it was an amazing process to experience. The entire process was much easier than I imagined and something that I had wish ...
