So I know we are a little behind on updating you on our fun graduate festivities and post-nursing school lives, but please bear with us. I mean we have all the time in the world now, right?? :) </div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
As for now, I wanted to post a little snip-it of our pinning ceremony. </div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
There will be more to come later, don't worry your little hearts. </div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
At the pinning ceremony, I had the privilege of saying the "reflection" or as I like to say, the prayer. I wanted to post the prayer so that in my future nursing days, I can look back and remember why God has called me to this profession. </div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
"Heavenly Father, ...As we recognize and celebrate our achievements tonight may we remember that it is only because of You that we made it this far, for this Lord we are thankful. Lord, You have given us the skills and knowledge we need to let Your works be carried our through us as we embark on the next chapter of our lives. May we use them for Your honor and Your glory. Lord, be with us as we each go our separate ways, fulfilling the roles in which You have called us to serve. With Your help, may we have the strength to love and comfort those who come to us for help. Let us honor and care for each patient as though they were made in Your image. Father, with Your guidance may we be a reflection of Your mercy when caring for the lonely, poor, suffering, and dying. Thank You for calling us to this most respected profession and giving us the privilege to serve You by caring for Your children. Your light is adequate for this new path that each of us is about to journey on. May we continue to seek You, entrusting the care of patients into Your hands. To our patients, let us be an extension of Your healing power working in us and through us. Lord, by Your grace may we live according to this profession." </div>

Hello Friends! :) </div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
Well we are 3 days away from graduating college as Registered Nurses!! We finished our last final on Monday - and were in a state of shock once our grades were finally posted! </div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
We went out to lunch at the Pita Pit in Hammond to celebrate - which was delish!</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
We have been enjoying our time completely free of anything school related! Let's take today for example: we are currently sitting, relaxing in Barnes & Noble decorating our grad caps! We have had several stares due to the level of craftiness going on at our table! Picture glue, scissors, glitter paper, paper cutter, feathers, etc. You get the idea.</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<u>A little recap on some recent events</u>:</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
- This past Thursday we both had the honor of being inducted in Sigma Theta Tau Nursing Honor Society. "Bulldog, bulldog, terrier! terrier!" <--- we partook in celebratory singing - to keep it simple.<br />

God knew I needed encouragement today. So He sent this to me by means of one of His faithful servants: </div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">"I love you Lord. You are my strength (Ps. 18:1). The Lord is my Light and my Salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? (Ps. 27:1). The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear (Hebrew 13:6). I am who God says I am; I have what God says I have; I can do what God says I can do. I believe, and all things are possible for me because I believe (paraphrase Mark 9:23). I sought the Lord, and He heard me and delivered me from all my fears (Ps. 34:4). You foul spirit of fear; I resist you in the name of Jesus. I refuse to doubt. I fear not. I only believe. I made that choice; now get out! I believe God! The victory is MINE! I am fighting the good fight of faith. I've got a good confession, and I'm going to enjoy this fight, because God is with me. I have the victory through Jesus Christ, my Lord. In Him, I am redeemed. In Him, I am strong. In Him I am blessed. In Him, I am forgiven. In Him I am always triumphant. I live by faith. I walk by faith. I believe that God is talking to me right now, so I am going to rejoice. Victory is mine! Healing is mine! Prosperity is mine! I receive it by faith! IT IS DONE!!! I rejoice with joy unspeakable, and I am full of the glory of God (paraphrase 1 Peter 1:8-9). I have the faith of God in me (paraphrase Mark 11:22). The spirit of the Lord is upon me. I am anointed. This is it! Now is the time! This is the day of my miracle! The anointing of the Holy Spirit is here and in me. Jesus is walking with me on the Glory Road. All things are possible with God. I have the spirit of faith. I believe and I speak. I have a measure of the God-kind of faith and that measure is growing. I have an overcoming faith, mountain-moving faith. It doesn't matter how I feel because I believe! I am not moved by feelings or impressions- I am moved by the word of God! I am not moved by what I see or feel. I am moved by what I believe and I believe God! I believe, and because I believe, I will see the glory of God. Lord, here I am- teach me something!" -From "The Spirit of Faith" by Mark Hankins </span></i></div>

Well guys, we are in a bit of a state of shock today as we sit in our very LAST 3 hour undergraduate lecture. When did we get here?? </div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
To think that nursing school/life as we know it will all be over with 2 weeks from today is absolutely nuts! We cannot wrap our minds around this. </div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
These past few weeks have had their bitter, sweet, and bittersweet moments. </div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
Last Tuesday we had our very last NCF meeting. It was a time of celebration and goodbyes. </div>

This week has been absolutely crazy! We will have had 4 tests, 2 papers, capstone implementations, sim lab-punch me in the head-, and an NCF event! For your sake, will skip all the boring stuff and get straight to the event. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">Our Dollars for Diapers Drive got to be promoted at an SLU baseball game against Tulane on Tuesday. It was a perfect day for a baseball game! It was pretty amazing the way it all worked out as it came together in the wee hours before the event. God is truly amazing and provided above and beyond what we could have ever expected (like always). We are so excited about this fundraiser and get to be in the student union on Wednesday collecting more "Dollars for Diapers". -so come visit us! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Today I was able to minister to my patient. I was able to use these gifts God has given me to glorify Him. Today He taught me how to care for patients as if I were caring for Him. And why wouldn't I give my Savior the very best care? Today I wondered "what if I had cared for every patient as if they were Jesus?"

These past two weeks have been such a whirlwind to us and reality is starting to set in. We have been super busy applying for our state nursing license, ordering graduation announcements, ordering our cap and gowns -which we will be picking up tomorrow, and buying our white scrubs for pinning ceremony! </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">Oh, and best of all...we just paid $200 to finally meet the NCLEX Lady (aka register for NCLEX)</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">-we are hoping for an autograph- </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">Today we had our second NCF meeting of the semester; it was such a wonderful meeting/devotion time. We love sharing with our fellow nursing students. It was such a beautiful day so we decided to have our meeting outside, by a fountain. We had a wonderful meeting and are excited about upcoming events! We are starting to kick off our "dollars for diapers" drive to raise money for GLA, the Haitian baby ministry. Plans include a day in the union and a table at a baseball game! </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">Starting this week, we will be caring for 4 patients -gasp- We can remember when we were scared of taking care of 2 patients. Hahaha. We have come so far this semester and have learned so much! </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">Oh- last week we had a brain cell-killer of an acuity test so we decided to "blow" off some steam at the shooting range! We have decided that this is by far the best way to relieve post-test stress! <br />

</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">Last night we had a fun little sleepover/paperwork party. -note sleepover=fun, paperwork party does not-. We had every intention to go to a fun Mardi Gras parade, but the wet cold rain had other intentions. Knowing we could not jeopardize our health for the sake of a few beads and a moonpie, we stuck to the fireplace instead. :] </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnid7Iu_J02UA0PfU9rRULPOyuqgU5il0gpnGjr1jfUHqPjn7VGwlQYQPtO0VkPwB4BEMVrfx95R8dFUY9U0zvy_Zs6n4FoIpkFa_186CH6D8vm75lqNjmYAlLtaPQ0x6L_ktTwqYVJPs/s1600/DSC00679.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnid7Iu_J02UA0PfU9rRULPOyuqgU5il0gpnGjr1jfUHqPjn7VGwlQYQPtO0VkPwB4BEMVrfx95R8dFUY9U0zvy_Zs6n4FoIpkFa_186CH6D8vm75lqNjmYAlLtaPQ0x6L_ktTwqYVJPs/s320/DSC00679.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">...and what a cozy night of a paperwork party it was! </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Over Christmas we went on a mission trip to Haiti! While we were there, we had the opportunity to visit GLA, the orphanage we held the 50/50 raffle for last semester! It's almost surreal that we actually got to see what we supported all semester. We felt like kids on Christmas morning we were so excited! It was amazing to see what God was doing there in the lives of so many children through the volunteers there. Because we don't have enough words to tell you how amazing it was, we will share some pictures with you! :] </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Later that day, while on our way home from school, there just so happened to be a diesel spill causing the entire interstate to be shut down. After being parked on the interstate for 30 minutes, and nearly losing our minds, we made the executive decision to drive <b>OFF </b>an <b>ON RAMP! </b>We were never so thankful to have broken the law in our lives!

As this resonated with me in clinical this week, I was thinking on the broader spectrum of things- more heroic. And then, without even realizing it, I learned how to do just this - how to go beyond ordinary in the smallest of things. These small things may consist of stickers, coloring pages, stuffed animals, video games, fish, and lastly bubbles (in pediatrics, they are seriously like magic) :] I've realized that as a nursing student -especially in pediatrics- I can get so caught up in trying to do the "nurse-y" things and forget about how important it is to recognize the smallest of needs in the little ones. I've realized how traumatic it is for a toddler to have to be hospitalized, and how much I can do as a nurse to ease that fear. It made my day just to see my precious little one compose the smallest of smile. Today I felt that rewarding feeling, the one that makes all the studying and paperwork and lack of a social life (hahaa) worth every minute of it. Today I was proud to be a nursing student, knowing that even while I am still writing SLUSN behind my name, I have the power to make a difference in a child's life. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh5eiHiZnmmPuSrolI6QOQCgEY9mxEiTatSe89hgpRpfN0wYXcJlAQs0bU0YGX0pSpvaKjOlMlc5pIgtONseHUN1RusagbF5xyiC2j8-vfKt4Cf_N3xpaCyqlZYKNI6t531Uc_GFms39o/s1600/283385_245770415444522_100000346967969_869186_1178251_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh5eiHiZnmmPuSrolI6QOQCgEY9mxEiTatSe89hgpRpfN0wYXcJlAQs0bU0YGX0pSpvaKjOlMlc5pIgtONseHUN1RusagbF5xyiC2j8-vfKt4Cf_N3xpaCyqlZYKNI6t531Uc_GFms39o/s320/283385_245770415444522_100000346967969_869186_1178251_n.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

It was our first week back in clinicals and we went into it full force. It's been -by far- my favorite first week of clinicals yet! I love Peds so much!! In the past two days of clinical, I have had so much experience already and gained a vast amount of new nursing knowledge :] -I even started an IV on an infant! Through my experiences this week I was both physically and emotionally drained. I was also reminded of several things because of these life experiences. The first being that as a Peds nurse, every shift is an opportunity to give a precious child unconditional love; to know that at least during my shift, they are well loved and cared for. I was reminded of the unconditional love that God shows us, and that because of that love we are able to love others unconditionally- no matter what. Lastly, I was reminded that although we may not have family who necessarily look out for our best interests, we have an Abba Father. Who meets our every need.

<div style="text-align: center;">We started our first week last Wednesday with Skills lab and Pediatric lecture in Baton Rouge! -welcome back to our life 6 AM commutes! It was so great to be reunited again with all of our nursing buddies and exchange stories about our wonderful nursing schoolless summers. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Thursday we went to our Peds clinical hospital orientation. We did a scavenger hunt on the unit to get comfortable with all the new equipment and surroundings (complete with full collections of DVDs and video games). Our wonderful clinical teacher told us that "having stickers in your pocket this semester will be just as important as having your stethoscope!" -from this moment on we knew it was gonna be a great semester!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Friday we went to a local daycare to get comfortable with assessment and interaction with children of all ages! We'd say that's a pretty great start to clinical :] </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">This weekend we have been resting up and starting to study already! </div><br />

We could not be more excited!!!! We decided that for our last blog of the semester we would share some of our bittersweet memories with you. This semester has by far been our favorite!! Here are some of our favorite memories!</div><br />

Needless to say if the local grocery store is out of CC's coffee we know where to go. On the bright side, we did eventually find our coffee :] </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
