I am excited to tell you that Nelle's Notes has moved and be revamped to a new site! It's called <a href="http://fromtheyellowchair.wordpress.com/"><b>fromtheyellowchair.wordpress.com</b></a>. It was time for a change and a fresh start. Since I just graduated from college, I thought this would be the most appropriate time to start a new blog! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Blessings to you all! I hope you subscribe to From the Yellow Chair on the right hand corner of the site! That way you will be able to receive updates via email!

It was a bitter sweet moment because I have yet to know my outcome of a very important test tomorrow, but I knew I needed to follow through with this. I am having faith that the Lord will have His way and that whatever the outcome may be, it will be in His hands. I have studied all that I can and taken as many practice tests that I could. It is up to the Lord! So here is my final prayer for the seniors and for this week as I go into some crucial exams...<br />

<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"></div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><i>The journey you have brought each one of us on is more than we could have ever imagined. As the class of 2011, we have shared a multitude of laughs, a handful of tears, and an overabundance of memories. David said in Psalms 118:5&14 that “In my distress, I prayed to the Lord and the Lord answered me and set me free. The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory.” Just like you were David’s strength and you gave him victory, I know you have and will do the same for each one of the seniors who will walk across the stage next Saturday and receive their future blessing. Lord, I thank you for being our guide and for allowing Oklahoma Wesleyan University to bless each of us in a way that is individually designed for each person. God, this is where we continue our journey. This is not a stopping point for us but just another step into the plan you have etched out for each us. For blessed are those who <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">believe</b> when there is no evidence of an answer to prayer – who trust beyond hope when all means have failed. Beloved Father, you have never failed to act but in goodness and love. Your love has always prevailed. I pray we hold fast to our faith and stand fast in your word. I pray we live for today. We live to honor You and let You lead. I pray that your blessing will be upon each of the graduating seniors and that there impact will forever plant seeds in the people who follow after. </i></div><br />

I call her mom.<br />
Mommy<br />
Madre<br />
Momingo<br />
<br />
Happy Mother’s day to all the Mom’s out there! A special shout out of LOVE to my mom, Marcelle!!!<br />
She is one of my best friends and greatest role models/inspiration! I love her and love who she is!<br />
Some things she has taught me through out the years…<em></em><br />
<em> </em><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><em>Make sure your outfit matches (this includes your shoes)<br />
Always try to look your best… you never know who you will run into.<br />
It’s always good to start your day with a little mocha mocha and feet up by the fireplace.<br />
Always find a good deal! My mom is the best bargain finder!<br />
Do your best and accept what happens… because everything happens for a reason.<br />
It’s ok to plan ahead.<br />
You can use your rear view mirror to help you drive.<br />
Always put 10% of your money towards tithes and part to savings.<br />
Never go to Hobby Lobby with the guys. What could be a 2 hour trip may only end up being 5 minutes.<br />
You have to try on every pair of sunglasses and pair of shoes you love… go for Comfort!<br />
Be hospitable to everyone. Serve those you care for and give to those in need.<br />
Lead others and God will Lead You!<br />
And most important… to LOVE Jesus, LOVE Family, and LOVE Others…</em></div>Maloreehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10717415317311523665noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9078098590180916841.post-47829718046687162302011-05-03T12:49:00.000-07:002011-05-03T12:49:46.318-07:00Life<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaK-V7yF8-TNO3pSA0PD6OAyqC6hJCUE-hkYkndCh-VhXAvTNwJ_-y559eWUgoSX_T9bjeO7o7be9g6H61Dkqp-nDOlXP9tSVO8wP1fGG1aX1-pCa3wcssudzfjTsMvirv5dYadGb9c9vQ/s1600/quick%252Bdrying%252Bpima%252Bsuper%252Babsorbant%252Bbath%252Btowels%252Bhand%252Bwash%252Bclothe%252Bkohls%252Bsmell%252Bfree%252Btextured-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaK-V7yF8-TNO3pSA0PD6OAyqC6hJCUE-hkYkndCh-VhXAvTNwJ_-y559eWUgoSX_T9bjeO7o7be9g6H61Dkqp-nDOlXP9tSVO8wP1fGG1aX1-pCa3wcssudzfjTsMvirv5dYadGb9c9vQ/s320/quick%252Bdrying%252Bpima%252Bsuper%252Babsorbant%252Bbath%252Btowels%252Bhand%252Bwash%252Bclothe%252Bkohls%252Bsmell%252Bfree%252Btextured-1.jpg" width="318" /></a></div>Life is not like this...<br />

(<i>This is a tribute to David Wilkerson who passed away last week in a car accident; His family is in our prayers!</i>)<br />
<br />
<h3 style="color: #cc6600; font-size: 18px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.25em 0px 0px; padding: 0px 0px 4px;">WHEN ALL MEANS FAIL</h3><div style="line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 0.75em;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #333333;">To believe when all means fail is exceedingly pleasing to God and is most acceptable. Jesus said to Thomas, “You have believed because you have seen, but blessed are those that do believe and have not seen” (John 20:29).</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #333333;">Blessed are those who believe when there is no evidence of an answer to prayer—who trust beyond hope when all means have failed.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #333333;">Someone has come to the place of hopelessness—the end of hope—the end of all means. A loved one is facing death and doctors give no hope. Death seems inevitable. Hope is gone. The miracle prayed for is not happening.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #333333;">That is when Satan’s hordes come to attack your mind with fear, anger, overwhelming questions: “Where is your God now? You prayed until you had no tears left. You fasted. You stood on promises. You trusted.”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #333333;">Blasphemous thoughts will be injected into your mind: “Prayer failed. Faith failed. Don’t quit on God—just do not trust him anymore. It doesn’t pay!”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #333333;">Even questioning God’s existence will be injected into your mind. These have been the devices of Satan for centuries. Some of the godliest men and women who ever lived were under such demonic attacks.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #333333;">To those going through the valley and shadow of death, hear this word: Weeping will last through some dark, awful nights—and in that darkness you will soon hear the Father whisper, “I am with you. I cannot tell you why right now, but one day it will all make sense. You will see it was all part of my plan. It was no accident. It was no failure on your part. Hold fast. Let me embrace you in your hour of pain.”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #333333;">Beloved, God has never failed to act but in goodness and love. When all means fail—his love prevails. Hold fast to your faith. Stand fast in his Word. There is no other hope in this world.</span></span></div><div><span>POSTED BY <span>DAVID WILKERSON</span></span></div>Maloreehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10717415317311523665noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9078098590180916841.post-65354220124318894062011-04-24T13:38:00.000-07:002011-04-24T13:43:47.979-07:00He is RisenToday is Resurrection Sunday which means today He is Risen!<br />
I am so thankful that Jesus died on the cross for my sins and your sins!<br />
What is so awesome is that if we were the only human soul on earth... He would have still died for our sins and rose again three days later!<br />
I am thankful. Thankful in deed.<br />
Sad that I could not be with my family where the weather is sunny and peaceful, but am thankful for where I am at and where the Lord is leading me!<br />

Here are a few Easter thoughts from around the web....<br />

<i>Guerrilla Gardening: A more subversive form of urban gardening, guerilla gardening is a way of adding plants to public spaces that don’t technically belong to the gardener such as a vacant lot, median, beside a highway, or in little strips of dirt.

I was spending yesterday in a research symposium with nursing students from all over the state. I watched in attentiveness as senior nursing students just like me presented his or her professional research proposals. But enough about nursing for today. Here our my favorite <i>This n That's </i>for this week. I chose things that are great for entertaining and I hope in the near future they will be a part of my lovely home collection! (<i>Slowly but surely, I am blessed with gathering special treasures for my own future home</i>).<br />

It is not the same as my first and favorite coffee shop, but it will do. I sit here and soak up every minute I can of the free Wi-Fi they provide and read my favorite blogs and take my daily ATIs (that is not my number one choice of things to do).<br />
<br />
I look forward to the day where I can read blogs, practice my DYIs that I have placed into a book in which I will do after school, and have all my exams (<i>including my NCLEX</i>) complete. I look forward to the dark washed bermuda jean shorts and loose white v-necks that are worn while driving with the windows down and my aviators on.<br />
<br />
But for now, I will study.<br />
My book of 1500 pages sits beside me and I vigorously try to get through the entire book within a few short days.<br />
I have my neon orange notecards with all my lab values connected to my hip and my cell phone close by.<br />
<br />
I'm ready to be done.<br />
I feel as if I have been burnt out with school.<br />
It's been a long time and I am ready for a break.<br />
<br />
But for now, I will get back to my final two exams I need to study for.<br />
And then my one main exam....

<br />
- 3 Exams (Leadership, Med-Surg, and Predictor)<br />
- Final part of a CQI paper<br />
- Edits to graded care plan<br />
- 1-2 clinicals for critical care (I really am not sure how many left)<br />
- 1 field trip (Dialysis Center)<br />
- Simulcast<br />
<br />
We are so close.<br />
So close to finishing our last semester of college.<br />
I am so excited.<br />
<br />
I just have to keep reminding myself that <b>I can do this</b><br />
I have done what <b>I can</b><br />
Now, it's in His hands<br />

<br />
As I am getting older (hmm...), I am enjoying the part of it where I get to decorate my living spaces and make it suitable to who I am. Right now, I am working on my room. Now, it is a work in progress because I am being very picky, but when I find pieces I really like... I keep my eye on them (if you know what I mean).<br />

Sometimes we just need to be an encouragement to others. Praying for answers. Hoping for the best. Just being there. As I am finishing up my last few weeks of nursing school, I am getting excited for what is ahead and just trying to focus on what is right in front of me. I wake up knowing that there is security as long as I can follow through and be successful at what is given to me. It is so close. Someone told me this week this simple thought...<br />
<br />
<i>"We can prepare, study, and do all that we know we can... but there comes a point when we just have to let God do the rest. There is no studying that is going to accomplish what the Lord has for us. If he wants us at a certain point, He will pull us through."</i><br />
<br />
Yes, I have heard this before, but for some reason it just soaked in a lot more this time around. It was good to be open and share my heart and know that people who have just met me are praying and believing. I have the best support out there.<br />
The best parents.<br />
The best family.<br />
The best friend.<br />
The best Heavenly Father.<br />
<br />
What more could I ask for?! Why dwell on where the next penny will come from... where the next answer to the question on the exam will be remembered... where the next activity will be due to piles of studying...<br />
<br />
I know I am where I am suppose to be.<br />
I love where I am.<br />
Who surrounds me.<br />
The presence of Joy.<br />
<br />
God is good.<br />
Therefore it is good.<br />

It is crazy to think that I am interviewing for something I have dreamed about doing for such a long time.<br />
I'm suppose to be a nurse and the interview I had today was just for that.<br />
I interviewed for a position in the Cardiac ICU.<br />
I am determined.<br />
Dedicated.<br />
And... passionately pursuing what I have been called to do.<br />
<br />
I thank the Lord for what He has done so far and what He is continuing to do. My journey is far from over and I am looking forward to each day that I learn and grow.<br />
<br />
Graduation is just a few short weeks away. The thought of that is so very exciting. However, there is much to do before that grand day. Exams, ATIs, reading page after page of material for nursing classes, soaking in the last hours of my final clinicals, and just living life. I am still going strong for the 10k that will be in May and I am enjoying building a community from the local church that I have been attending since December.<br />
<br />
Each day I choose to wake up and make TODAY a great day. I will continue to persevere and not quit. This can be done. So close... I am so close.Maloreehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10717415317311523665noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9078098590180916841.post-5314132823768139612011-03-08T20:15:00.000-08:002011-03-08T20:15:19.365-08:00I PassedToday was a very exciting day in my nursing world!<br />
I passed two exams.<br />
Two very difficult exams in which the Lord got me through and allowed me to pass!<br />
Now we are on to the next exam and prepping for that final goal: NCLEX<br />
<br />
I can do this. Believe. Trust.Maloreehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10717415317311523665noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9078098590180916841.post-24239445949658803522011-03-02T09:05:00.000-08:002011-03-02T09:05:09.838-08:00And The Clock Keeps TickingAs soon as I blinked it was March. January and February are both gone for forever for the year of 2011. Can you believe that we are at that point where we are halfway through a semester of school (my last semester) and looking forward to bigger and better things!? These past few weeks have been crazy in school.<br />
<br />
This is my routine for school.<br />
I wake up.<br />
Drive to school.<br />
Go to class.<br />
Review for ATIs.<br />
Take an ATI.<br />
Prep for Critical Care.<br />
Take a Critical Care exam.<br />
Lecture.<br />
Done with classes.<br />
Drive back home.<br />
Start studying for the test I have the following week.<br />
Every Tuesday. This is my schedule.<br />
<br />
Somehow I have squeezed in running aka prepping for a 10K that I will be running in Colorado with my best friend. I am almost enjoying awesome clinicals and an externship that I love. Overall, life is crazy, but I still am enjoying it.<br />
<br />
I enjoy that when I am here away from school it is so positive and so encouraging (Did I just sound like K-Love the radio station?). I enjoy when I am at my place it is relaxing and I can be focused on my homework and gain restful sleep.<br />
<br />
I.am.almost.done.<br />
