end of June/most of July....

Well....it hasn't quite been the summer I had expected. There have been many good things, but not everything turned out as I had hoped and prayed. God's will is best, but I had hoped I would pass my nursing state boards (NCLEX) test the first time when I took it on June 23rd. I had hoped to only have to study half the summer away and then begin my dream and the call God placed on my heart when I was 2 years old to be a nurse. Those hopes and plans of mine were crushed when I found out I didn't pass on June 25th. I will still be a nurse sometime in the future, but I guess I just have to wait longer. It's frustrating not being able to do things with people and stay in my room studying the entire summer. I will be retaking the exam sometime in August so continuing to study and pray for the NCLEX until I pass! I very much want to add "RN" for "registered nurse" behind my name and start the job that is waiting for me! Right now it's "Whitney Dennison, BSN" but soon it will be "Whitney Dennison, RN, BSN"!

This past week has been hard because of being busy with studying, working, and playing the piano for "Secret Garden the musical" and Andy has been busy with work, playing piano for church, as well as studying that we haven't really gotten to talk as much as we would like this week nor see each other much. This next week won't be much better either as either he is busy during the day or I'm busy in the evening and even in the morning a couple of those days. *sigh* I miss him. Oh well, I will see him in the semi-near future and I do see him a lot more often than the last 2 years when I was away at college down in Indiana. So for being done with school and 20 minutes from him instead of 2 hours, I am grateful! =)

I am excited though because on July 9th Andy asked my parents for their blessing/permission to marry me!!!! So now it's up to him as to when and how he wants to ask me!! Not gonna lie....I'm sooo super excited!! :) He's soooo wonderful!!!!

Well, I guess that's about it for now! I'm terrible at posting often, but maybe when I get done studying I'll have more time!

Blessings to anyone reading this post!

NCLEX

Well, today is my last day of studying ever!! Providing I pass the NCLEX (nursing state boards) exam! I'm taking the NCLEX on Wednesday and they say it's best not to study the day before you take the test (which is tomorrow - Tuesday). I'm taking it at 8:00 in the morning. I'm sooo nervous! This is THE test that I've spent 4 years going to school for to pass so I can be a nurse! Hopefully at the end of the week when I get my results I will be able to sign my name, "Whitney Dennison, RN"! Prayers would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Trusting in HIM,

stuff..... :)

15 days until graduation and still lots to do!! the end is in sight though!!! yay! :) Today I went to my friend Ashley's bridal shower!! As of right now, I have 3 weddings to go to this summer! :) Lydia's, Ashley's, and my roomate Jes' weddings!

Super excited about tomorrow!!! Andy's driving down here to Bethel and then we're getting on the Bethel buses with the rest of the concert choir to do a concert at a church in New Castle, IN!!! It will be nice to get to spend several hours on the way there and back with Andy, for him to be there for my concert too, and to meet some more of my friends here at Bethel!! :D Can't wait! There's like 80+ people in the concert choir I'm a part of here at Bethel so bus rides are always fun!! This one will be the best bus ride though because my best friend (Andy!!) will be with me!!! :)

Blessings!

much to do....

Yikes! So much to do and so little time...tests, projects, and homework...not to mention the ever continuing job searching for when I graduate! Not gonna lie...it will be super nice to not have homework to do or classes to go to once I graduate! :) I will miss all my friends here at Bethel though. It will be nice though to be able to spend more time with friends back home! A new stage in life is just a few weeks away from me! Exciting and scary at the same time.... :)

Day 1 of blogging

Hi!! well, today is Sunday, April 11, 2020! I'll try to update this as I can (and remember! lol!)! I am currently a senior nursing student at Bethel College in Mishawaka, IN and I graduate with my BSN degree in 21 days! exactly 3 weeks from today! So excited! The past 4 years have been full of ups and downs, adventures, and friends! The past almost 20 months have been the best of my life though because God allowed a certain young man (Andy!!) to come into my life and he is such a joy to me!! =)

Blessings!
