Have a Great Leap Day!!!

It's hard to believe this week is almost over.  I spent this week at work for a few days and I was off a couple of days.  I spent most of Wed running errands and some of Thurs as well.   This Sunday I start working with patients for my first 12 hour shift.  February is almost over, so Happy Leap Day to everyone!!

It's finally the weekend!

I finished the first week of my new job. Everyone is really nice, it just gets long sitting in classes all day. My first shift is on March 2nd, I am working nights by the way. However all of the classes are during the day. They're really careful not to schedule us the night before or same day as a class. I am glad to have this weekend off. I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Orientation Continues

The last two days have been much of the same stuff.   However, today we actually got to tour the hospital areas and meet with our managers/educators.  And I finally received an updated schedule for the GAP program(helping new graduate nurses transition from student to RN)!!!  I want to thank everyone who viewed and posted  on my new blog.  It's good to hear from everyone.

First Day

Today was the first day of my new job.  It was a bunch of orientation stuff, kind of boring but the people were really nice.  Tomorrow orientation continues, there are so many people that are going that we are going to a university.  Hopefully I will get my schedule tomorrow.  All in all the first day went well.

Renaissance Festival

Today I went to the Renaissance Festival.  It was a blast until after the joust, when my mom twisted her ankle coming down from the bleachers.  We left early, but they gave us tickets for another time.  So this year we will go to the festival twice, so some good came out of the situation.  I am looking forward to coming back in a few weeks.  I will post pics from today when I get a chance.

January 2008 Happenings

The pics above are of my family and my Aunt Kathryn.  The pics were taken when my aunt came to visit.  The graduation pic is of my sister, my dad, and me.  The rest of January was spent studying for the NCLEX which I took on the 30th of January.  I was so relieved and excited when I found out the next day that I had passed the NCLEX.  I had my nursing license.  And no more studying!! 

Whirlwind

The end of last year was a flurry of activity.  My sister did 120 hours for an internship at Fox studios during the last part of october and the month of November.  I did an internship at a local hospital just before thanksgiving and ended the weekend before my sister's graduation from LCU.  About a week after her graduation I had my nursing graduation.  Then a couple weeks after that we went to my grandpa's house for Christmas and came home new year eve.  

At the Copan Ruins in Honduras
Shopping!!

Above are some pictures of the Honduras trip.  I took a health class thru  Mercy Ships.  The first  picture is of me on my sightseeing part of the trip. The second picture is of me and my classmates Lynn, Hannah, and Kate.

Quick update

I will post pictures as soon as I figure out how.   This past December I just finished 2 years of nursing school.  After taking boards last month I am official an RN.  I start my first nursing job next week. I went to Honduras for 2 weeks last summer with Mercy Ships.  Happy Valentines day everyone!!
