Mallory Coffman, RN!

On Monday, I took my NCLEX................

On Tuesday, I found out that I passed!!!! and I am now officially a...............
It was the best day of my life!!! (other than getting married :)) Nothing can describe the feeling. It's AMAZING! I have always wanted to be a nurse, I've always known that this is what I was going to do. And I did it! I am so thankful to my Heavenly Father for blessing me so much along the way. I know that I could not have done this without him. How wonderful it is that during such times of stress, during so many tests, and before so many nerve-racking nursing skills, I was able to pray to my Heavenly Father and ask for his help. I know that he was right there beside me guiding me the enitre time. I am even more indebted to Him now. I only hope that now I can use these skills and abilities to be a great nurse. To give the best care to every one of my patients and make a difference in their lives. I also have to thank Justin. For insisting that I quit my job before nursing school and being so willing to be the sole provider. He put up with SO much. He really did. Messy house, crazy wife, fast food for dinner, hearing "I can't, I gotta study or can you quiz me?" way too often, and the list goes on and on! He was my biggest support. He encouraged me, praised me after good grades, listened to me vent and cry and whine, and made me laugh when that's the last thing I wanted to do..... Oh what a good man he is! Needless to say, I truly am so blessed!

happy birthday to me

My birthday was a few weeks ago on July 5th. There's something I've been wanting for a long time, and my hubby scored big points and got it for me for my birthday.................















He got me a piano! Its older, but I don't even care. I am in love with it. I need to get it tuned, but I still love playing it even it a few keys sound excruciating! haha. Justin really is the best. I am so happy that I can  play the piano again. I hated not having a piano in my home, it felt like I was losing my ability. Now i can practice again. Watch, now I'll get called to be a pianist in the ward! haha.
