If you have been trying to play
the “Where in the World is Sheri” game and have not been able to find me, I apologize. I haven’t blogged since August of 2015, which
is a long time. I’ve had a few big life changes, some of which I’ll write about
here. I also encourage you to follow me on my other social media accounts which
can be found on the side bar, or below.
Keep in touch, and check back here soon – I am going to start blogging
again very soon!
Graduation!
In May of last year, I graduated
from Nursing School with my Bachelor of Science in Nursing. It was very hard
work, and I’m proud of this degree tremendously. Yes, I have another one in
Criminal Justice, but it was not very useful for me. This one however, is a
true passion and I am very glad I decided to do it. I made some amazing nursing
friends and also learned more than I thought possible.
I
Fell... and Broke Stuff
Right after graduation, I fell.
It was a long, tiring day, without much food or liquids (not even a drop of
alcohol). When I got home, I was turning around to grab something else out of
the car, and I fell down the steps on the porch onto cement. Let me tell you,
it was the worst pain of my life. A true 10/10 on the pain scale. I broke part
of my foot, sprained both ankles, messed up the tendons, and bruised my wrist,
lots of scratches, and bruising really. I had this very ortho-fashionable boot
to wear for a month. By the way, nurses make terrible patients.
NCLEX
The NCLEX is the dreaded test
that all of those who pass nursing school have to take in order to become a licensed,
registered nurse. You know, to be able to say that you are an actual RN and get
to sign your name RN after it. It was a month of studying after graduation and
tons of partial breakdowns, but I passed the first time I took it. Whew!
I
Fell… for a Guy
Okay, so I didn’t literally fall.
This is Will and I actually met him while I was still recovering from the very
hurtful fall. I was single for awhile, because I wanted to focus on school, and
to be honest, I’m quite picky. This one though, is a keeper. Sorry ladies, he
is mine!
Sheri,
RN – Job # 1
I started my first job as a nurse
in June. I thought night shift would work out fine for me, so I decided to do
that as my first job. I liked the hospital I precepted at in Med-Surg, so I
went there. However, I soon came to learn that it was very much not for me.
Especially after I moved in with Will who lived about an hour and fifteen
minutes away from that hospital. Yes, it was rough going back and forth to work
on those nights and mornings.
Sheri
the Rodan + Fields Independent Consultant
In December I decided to join the
R+F team my friend had just signed up for. I knew I needed two regimens (Soothe
and Reverse) so I just signed up as consultant to save money and get the other
tools I wanted, too. I didn’t take it too seriously until I could see results
for myself, which I started to see as early as February. I had my first R+F
party in March, and am very excited about this business opportunity. If you
want to know more, please let me know! To see my Rodan and Fields site to take
the consultation tool to see what works for you and to shop, go to: https://sherinewton.myrandf.com/Pages/OurProducts/GetAdvice/SolutionsTool
Sheri,
RN – Job # 2
Remember how I said I was driving
so much on that first job? Well, I couldn’t keep doing it physically and work
12-13 hour shifts. So, I applied at jobs closer to my new home and was actually
recruited by the place I ended up. It is a rehab hospital which is only about
30 minutes away. Not too bad! I just started it this month in March, but I like
it so far.
…Keep
in Touch
As I said, I’m going to be
blogging more again and I have a TON of book reviews to catch up on. However,
please add me or follow me on the social networks I use.
