Let me introduce myself.....

Jennifer Hall, RN

I passed the NCLEX!!! Now to find a job!

It's the Final Countdown {insert synthesized beat here}

I've been looking back over blog entries from the past few years...It's led me to tomorrow. Tomorrow, you say, what is tomorrow? Well, friends, tomorrow I take the NCLEX. It's the test that decides if I will be Jennifer Hall or Jennifer Hall, RN. Obviously I know the Lord really holds those cards, but looking back I can see His hand all  over this journey. Tomorrow's test will be no different.

So say a little prayer for me, I know He hears you! Here's a picture from my nursing school graduation.

Helllo 2012

How many ways can life change in a few months? Oh, let me see....losing my job, getting another, then another, starting the nursing program....it's been crazy! But I'm thankful and blessed. By the grace of the Good Lord I've survived most of the first semester of the RN program at Ga Highlands. 2 more test and I'll be going to the hospital! Very exciting! The girls are growing and doing great. Update again soon!

I'm still alive!!

I'm horrible to update my blog :( I'm just too darn busy. Let's see, what's new??? Well, the biggest news for me is that I got accepted into the Georgia Highlands Nursing Program for Spring 2012!!!!!! It was truly a miracle of the Lord. I give Him all praise and glory for this. I'm very excited!

In other exciting news: Hugh & Katie are expecting next month, a sweet little girl, Coraline. My first niece! I can't wait to meet her.

This coming Thursday is Thanksgiving. I have so much to be thankful for, my Jesus, my wonderful family, my health, opportunities, friends, and hope :)

Warrior Dash 2011!

Carri & I had a BLAST at Warrior Dash. We may do the one in Tennessee in Sept.

Party Time! Excellent!

Friday was the big day. I was schedule to take the HESI exam for the second time. The HESI is the test that determines if I am eligible to be accepted into the nursing program. I had taken it a few months ago and scored high enough on all sections, with the exception of anatomy and physiology. Thankfully, I had the opportunity to take it again. I knew it wouldn't be easy, taking into consideration that I would have to answer 25 question from a years worth of A&P. It could be over anything! I don't think I've ever studied for something so hard in all my life. I also prayed TONS and other people did too. Because those two things, I PASSED!!!!!!! I passed by 1 point, but hey, passing is passing. It was my last chance. If I had not passed I would have to wait another year before trying again. I don't think my heart could have taken that! Now I just have to wait until July to hear if all my hardwork and prayer will get me into nursing school!

Through Lachlan's Eyes

We recieved a Victoria Secret catalog in the mail today. I don't subscribe, my self esteem couldn't handle it, but it came to "Current Resident". I started to browse through the catalog and Lachlan came up behind me. One of the models is girlfriend to the lead singer of one of my favorite bands. I asked Lachlan "Is she prettier than mama?" She looked at the girl and the girl on the other page and said "No. They aren't smiling like you." What an answer!! She didn't look at the things I would, she looked at their faces. They had these smug, seductive looks that my five year old could see right through. She looked at their spirit, and clearly she preferred mine! This revelation changed me. I don't ever want Lachlan to lose that precious perspective. I imagine this is also how God views us. He looks at our spirit, which clearly shows on our face. Not to mention I don't think He'd really approve of what the catalog stands for anyway. I plan on smiling more and more :) I'm too blessed not to! Proverbs 11:22 & Proverbs 15:13
