So back at home, back to work and there have been a few very nice changes on all fronts.
At home: My bedroom set finally came in so finally I will be able to decorate my room. Most importantly I will finally get off the mattress on the floor. My back has been killing me!
At work: They removed some extra charting we used to have to do. So that is always nice and there have been some changes to staff. They hired another nurse so hopefully these constant extra shift calls will be ending. Next week is a 5 day work week though so that kinda sucks... but I do need the money.
My health: I did have to call in on Friday to work due to a cracked tooth that I broke on a pretzel on the plane home. There was just no saving it, as in cracked right in half down to the root. I ended up having to have it pulled and that was a MAJOR pain! I felt bad but I just couldn't function through the pain anymore and Motrin was NOT touching it.
At school: I should be starting classes this month. First up is Healthcare Ethics to start my BSN program. At this point graduating in 2014 is what looks to be the best option. Have I mentioned that still 3 months later friends of mine that graduated with their RN's have not found jobs. A new batch is coming out next month and the market doesn't look promising for them either. I figure my BSN by 2014 going part time may just be worth it because maybe by then the job market will improve.
Marriage: PS things have been going VERY good.
So glad to hear things are improving for you! Bummer about the tooth though.
ReplyDeleteIn my daughter's class of 40 that graduated in May from NAU with their BSN's, only 2 of them are actually working in their field of choice. She got her ER job and her best friend is working at Phoenix Children's. The rest of them have been unable to find work as a nurse. A few are doing flu shots for the season. How sad is this situation? I know a few of them have applied to graudate school now.
I would suggest you apply at AZ Regional Hospital as they are hiring again if you are interested.
