GRADUATION........again!

Friday May 27, 2011 I FINALLY GRADUATED

FROM NURSING SCHOOOL :)

This is definitely the best part of my life so far.......I have never felt more accomplished in my life. You cannot understand how happy I will be to go to work and come home WITHOUT having to worry about turning something in before 8AM the next morning! Homework is so over, and I could not be more thrilled to say goodbye to it. I'm hoping to go back to school in the future, but I just seriously couldn't take the step to keep going right now. I- NEED- A- BREAK, lol. All I have left to do is take NCLEX, and I am completely DONE with certifications, board of nursing fees, and standardized testing. WAHOO!! I must admit, although it was tortuously long, graduating at the Fed Ex Forum was a plus too. Keith came and took pictures for me, but none of them turned out really well. It was because of my subpar camera though , not his skills as an amateur photogtrapher.  This one is my fave, beause it's my name up on the board thingy that loops around the entire stadium.  Mine is the third one up top just incase you can't read it ;)

I must say that I am so thankful for my life. It's looking pretty magical these days :) I can't wait to take NCLEX and start working at Lebonheur. I am getting so excited about working with the little ones in the NICU too! Come on July 11th .

My New Job!!!

Monday afternoon I finally got the phone call I have been waiting on all semester. I got a job in a level III C Neonatal Intensive Care Unit @ Lebonheur :) I am beyond excited to get this job. The sickest babies in this area go to Lebonheur after being born for surgeries and just for being really small at birth, so I am going to learn so much. Anyone who knows me knows I absolutely love babies, so I truly feel like this is the perfect job for me. It's going to be hard and I'm sure there will be alot of stress when I first start just from the learning curve I'm going to have to catch up to, but I'm so excited for the opportunity. I start July 11th, and I can't WAIT! I know Keith is excited that he won't be the only one bringing paychecks home too :)
