so - life at the moment....
in 10 days i graduate with a BSN! seems like i've been preparing for this for years and all of a sudden it's here. very surreal. but life is so busy i don't have much time to sit and think about it. i have 2 day of classes and 8 days of clinical... grant is in town next week and rami the following : ) since our school is kinda lame, our class is throwing ourselves a graduation!
which includes a ceremony, food and a talent show! yup - i'll probably have to bust out my spandex halloween costume for a special dance : ) we'll see...
my clinical instructor called me this last week telling me an RN position opened on the unit where i've been doing my clinical. now, you gotta understand i love this unit! it's a neuro, urology, transplant unit. the patients are fascinating. the staff are amazing. i feel challenged there. i'm learning more this quarter than the entire year combined. it's been great. i feel for the first time that i can actually become a nurse. ha. i feel comfortable with the staff - i feel a part of the team. my preceptor told me that i needed to apply immediately if i wanted a shot at the job. so i stayed up til 2am getting my resume and cover letter finished. my instructor wrote me a recommendation and the rest of the staff are crossing their fingers for me. there is one other girl who has interviewed for the job - she has been a medical assistant in a virginia mason clinic for the past 10 years. so basically is me, the girl who is knows the unit and is a part of the team but not a part of VM, or the girl who has worked for VM for 10 years. a main way the lord has been transforming my heart in the last few months is how to hold all things loosely. how to trust him. how to let things come and how to let things go. so, this little job opportunity falls into that category. if i get the job, i'll be pumped. if i don't, i have an amazing scholarship for this next year of grad school that will give me free tuition and a $500/month stipend. either way, i feel blessed and will walk faithfully with the lord and bring his good news in whichever place i spend my time : )
i'll keep ya posted.
