Student Nurse, Part Twelve: one more sleep until practicum.
Student Nurse is an amalgam of several nursing school classmates experiences during their time of studies together. It is presented in a journal format; the writer of the journal is fictional, but the experiences are all real.

well I got my assignment finished in time (somehow) and handed it in this morning in class. i miss my husband. He isn’t away somewhere working - he is in the picture but he has been working so hard that I hardly ever see him. He’s been doing almost all of the cleaning and cooking. My 16 year-old daughter makes my lunch and is doing the laundry.
What a great family i have. You can’t beat having cheap labour and a lack of child labour laws around the home; okay, that was in bad taste, I admit. One of the other women in my class told me how her 14 year-old girl mostly sits around on the computer and does nothing to help the family. i am so glad that my family isn’t lazy like that. Well i have to take a shower and get ready for bed; tomorrow I have my first day of practicum during the day and then have to work at the senior facility ( a five hour evening shift). i wish i didn’t have to go but we need a few extra bucks to pay for my January tuition.
This might be the last update/entry in my journal for sometime: i can see myself just getting to busy to keep it up the way things are going heading towards Christmas. etc. we shall see.
my husband beat me to bed. ‘Good night, Dear - what? ….sorry, honey not tonight - I got a homework headache.’
The things I have to say no to sometimes…
