Woo-hoo!

I am pleased to announce that I have a job!! Woo-hoo!! I am so grateful, and super excited to get back into working world. I can't wait until that first paycheck hits the bank....BUT I am scared. I no longer have an "instructor" at my side to re-assure me. I have been told to trust my education....but my nerves are still raw. Its a HUGE responsibility to have somones life in your hands and I believe that as a member of the medical community we should never forget that. I know that I posses all the skills and knowlodge to embark on this adventure, but I have so much more to learn. I look forward to that part (second to the paycheck!) very much!!

I have spent that past week doing interview-paperwork-blood screens-and drug screens....just waiting on the final word for orientation on Monday. I cannot express how excited I am. I am working 12 hour shifts, and nights.

The girls will start a new school on Monday, then in about 3 weeks Haleigh starts kindergarden. A whole lot of adjustments and changes are in store for us, but we will take them as they come.

A new chapter has officially begun.....

What?!

***Cody and I were driving the other day, headed home from Wal-Mart or something. The girls were in the back seat just chattering non-stop like they always do. Most of the time I pay very little attention to what it is they are talking about...except I have developed quite a "mommy-radar". I pick up on the bad things, and the down-right-funny things.

This is one of those down-right-funny things. Haleigh and Kendall were playing with something, pretending it was a phone. Haleigh says "lets pretend like its touch screen". OMG!! Are you for real? Did my 5 year old just say that? Imaginations are quite advanced these days.

***CORRECTION: So Cody informed me lastnight that it was actually a little etch-a-sketch that they had. They were drawing on them, and Haleigh said that hers was a touch-screen. LOL! It was quite ironic that they were playing with a timeless toy, and just bumped it up a few notches!! :)

False Alarm

Still no job yet. Nothing further from the facility that called. I am also actively trying at another facility as well. But up to this point.....nothing. Sucks. I need prayers. (or $money$ to continue my education, but prayers are cheaper!!)

Glimmer of Hope

Some exciting news at last.....I had a call from a recruiter of a major facility. Finally, there is some type of hope. She did inform me that "nothing happens fast here at __Hospital." At this point, I am just thrilled that somone actually called me! I need all the prayers I can get.

And, I am going to see Phantom of the Opera tonight. It was a graduation present from one of my friends.....awesome!!

Unfavorable News Again

So, I finally heard back from someone .... and its the same ol' thing....hiring freeze. They will know more at the end of the month. I may not have a truck to get to work at that point. Yes, things are that bad. I have applied for many other jobs, non-respiratory related, and I get the whole "over qualified" response. I have tried everything. I cannot find a job....anywhere....doing anything. I am sad.
