Why I decided to be a nurse 💊💉🏥

So it's currently 5.30am and I am on my way to work. I won't get home until 9.30pm at the earliest tonight.

Sometimes I ponder my decisions in life (laughs) as I have little energy as it is and I've decided to complete another 12 hour shift.

The reason I do this is because I want to be a nurse one day. I am currently studying children's nursing at university.

I am trying to work in children's wards to build my experience and get a taster for what my career is going to entail.

Getting used to 12 hour shifts is also a benefit as I will be doing 3/4 in a row.

My choice to be a nurse wasn't something I had always dreamed of. I knew I wanted to work in healthcare somewhere but never dreamed I would be a nurse.

People have told me I would be a great psychologist and I did look into it. I have heard from a few people it isn't what it's made out to be.

Then I tried nursing in adult wards and knew straight away it wasn't my calling. As soon as I worked with children I knew that is were my passion was.

So I looked into the entry requirements for children's nursing and I knew I didn't have enough qualifications to be accepted right away.

I completed my HNC in Care part time in the evening over 2 years, whilst working full time. This was the hardest 2 years of my life.

Not only did it break me down emotionally and physically but it also affected my relationship and family life.

I thought of given up so many times but the constant thoughts of the goal at the end kept me going.

I eventually passed my HNC but not as well as I could have done. I could have done alot better but atleast I was accepted into uni.

A few weeks have passed at university and I have struggled to keep up with the workload. I am more tired now than I was working full time.

Completing the HNC has definitely helped me alot in regards to university though. The subjects we are covering are all subjects I have studied before.

So I guess the point of writing this was to help you understand that hard work pays off. Yes you might not get the grade you were expecting or you might feel like giving up.

Keep going and keep the end goal in sight. I have a long 3 years ahead of me but I am determined to do this!

Also if you are looking into nursing but have no care experience I would highly recommend an access to nursing course.

Get yourself some work as a carer first before you make the big step into university. Some people manage university with no experience but I can only imagine it's a harder struggle.

I hope you enjoyed my blog today please let me know via Twitter @jour2positivity if you would like to know anything specific or would like me to cover a certain topic.

Have a positive weekend and remember YOU CAN DO IT! ❤


Lots of love

"Money can't buy you happiness" 🤔

I often wonder how the saying "money can't buy happiness" came about. Right now I sit and ponder every little thing I want in life and the only way to get it is money. I want to learn how to drive, I want to travel, I want to redecorate the house. All of these things require money. I know I am blessed and lucky to have what I do just now. There is no doubt I am grateful, but money does bring happiness. It allows you to do things like driving, holidays and redecorating. So how can I attract money to me so I can do all the things I would like to do? I will try ask the angels for their help, I will try be more positive around money, I will meditate and try attract abundance. I shall keep you updated with my progress! It's ok to feel down and it's ok to feel lost its how you get yourself out that rut that matters. Lots of love Lynne xxx

30 Day Gratitude Challenge

Recently I have been taking part in the 30 day gratitude challenge. As the days rolled on it got harder and harder to say what I was grateful for. After I had wrote all the things I truly need I struggled to find more. I am not materialistic so the little things like makeup or jewellery don't matter to me. Then I realised this was the intention. It made me see that I have exactly what I need in life right now and I should appreciate this. So take part yourself and see if you come to the realisation that you really are blessed.

Surround yourself with positive people..

Unfortunately in life we won't get on with everyone. There will be people who dislike you no matter what you do or say. These are the people you have to avoid. Surround yourself with love and empowerment, people that make you feel good about yourself. If you do this you will learn to blossom and succeed in all you do. You will have the confidence and self esteem to take on the world. Life is far too short for ignorance or disloyalty. Likewise always be positive around those people who try bring you down. If you give them back what the give you then you are creating a negative energy. Always kill them with kindness or avoid them completely. You are an amazing person capable of anything make sure you only surround yourself with people who tell you so.
