About Me

So, here is a little info about who I am, where I come from, and (hopefully) where I'm headed.

WHO: i'm Kat. I'll be 24 this weekend, and I recently graduated from BYU with a Bachelor's in Exercise Science.

WHERE: I grew up in Mission Viejo, CA, but spent my college career out of state. I"m currently back at my parents house until I get accepted to a nursing program. I'm hoping to be in by January so I'm not out of school for too long. It is SO hard to get back into the swing of things when you've been out for too long.

WHERE I"M HEADED: I don't know yet! I am still researching schools and finding out where I can apply. Gotta love each individual school's individual prereqs. No 2 are the same. I don't really have a preference for what state I end up in, so that keeps my options wide open. I'll just be happy to be in a program doing what I love. If anyone knows of a good accelerated nursing program, please, let me know ;)

I hate the application process. It is the most obnoxious, frustrating part of getting into school. I hated it the first time around and that was ridiculously low-maintenance compared to this. I don't start submitting applications until July, so I have a little time left to find more schools and really pick my top choices.

Let the fun begin!

Just Getting Started

So this is just a welcome post to give an overview of what will be documented here. I intend to share all of my feelings, frustrations, and triumphs of becoming a nurse. I am beginning the application phase, my least favorite part of any process, and can't wait to get this ball rolling! More to come soon.
