Pre-HESI

I thought I should document for you guys what I've done with the week that they gave us for studying for HESI:

Everything but study for HESI.

I thought this would be important for you all to know so that when I fall apart after failing it, there is proof that I did not study.

I've rationalized that not studying is a good plan. I will now explain why.
(1) I have done well on all 4 so far and I only studied for one (which was my worst score).
(2) I get another chance to pass it before graduation (April 21st. That date will soon become much more important than it seems at this point).
(3) I think I needed to come home and relax while enjoying family time instead.

It's mostly that last one. I have had the most wonderful week. After giving a talk to the Nursing NET floor on Tuesday night (or I guess I should say part of Wednesday morning), I traveled home. One day, I worked out twice. I have done Zumba with my mother three times. I have slept in every day. I have been eating lots of fruit. I got to spend all of yesterday with my Sister & we drove around looking at houses for her & met her dream builder who will hopefully be building her home. I got an eye exam and more contacts & found out that despite my high pressure in my eyes, my optic nerve looks "Beautiful" per Dr. Eubank.

You see, this week has been wonderful. And if I fail on Monday, I have 3.5 weeks to get my act together & pass it the 2nd time! Yes, friends. I think it is a very good plan.

So, if you happen to think of me around 8am Central time on Monday (through 1pm), throw up a prayer that I have learned enough through nursing school to be able to make an 850 or better on the exit HESI. And please throw in there that if not, I have peace enough to know that it will all be ok the next time.
