rock out.
So, everyone is back for prerush, and thats just what theyre doing. Prerush. and Im home here being bored and tired. Ry is usually sleeping or working, MK is at Sigma Kappa all day, Deuce is doing Rho Gamma training, and Stef (my other "leave of absense" buddy) hasnt gotten to peoria yet. Its kinda nice, and lonely at the same time. I havent felt much like going to big SK kegs this week, so weve been having a lot of our own fun here, and we did go out to Old Chicago last night.....were supposed to go to wings tonight too, so everythings pretty much the same so far. Next week, however, the madness will really begin. I guess my clinicals are pretty badass. I have oncology on Mondays from 15:00 to 22:30. (3-10:30 for the rest of you). THEN, I have my ER clinicals Wednesdays from 10-17:00.........aaaaaawesome! Im so excited for that one, considering Im fairly certain ER is my calling in this world. Lord I hope so.
Lately, Ive been thumbing through my many pamphlets from UCLA grad school. Theres just so many different nurse practitioner/Clinical Nurse specialist programs to chose from. Generally, I think Family nurse practitioner is the best route to go, but thats pretty boring. Its like just becoming an MD. zzzzzzzzzz. Its good not to limit yourself I suppose. Any thoughts fellow nurses??? Basically, I know if I go to LA, I will definitely go to grad school as soon as possible....which would be Fall '07......BUT if I stay in Peoria or chicago, I can see myself pissing around. I dont know, but if youre my roomate, close to me in any way, or read my livejournal a lot, youll be hearing A TON about this LA job offer dilemma, so just tell me to SHUT my hole if you get bored. I did get a boost of confidence from my summer boss though. I emailed her the other day to tell her thanks for everything in LA and ask some questions about grad school. She e mailed me back and told me my timing was perfect to contact her because I got a Star award this summer and she wanted to send me a copy and recognize me for it. (sidenote-Star awards are these things that patients fill out for their nurses if theyve had excpetional care :) ) Anyways, Sheri (my boss) was very impressed that a measly extern got one. I remember the young lady in the ER that wrote it. SHe was CLEARLY addicted to narcotics, and making up a complaint to get some.........but I was nice to her anyways. Its just a little odd when a patient tells you EXACTLY how much morphine they should get, and when, and how to push it. I found it comical in a way, and she was a sweet girl. and apparently she thought I was nice too. So basically, being recognized there makes me appreciate how awesome UCLA Med. center is. The technology, cutting edge, the people, etc.
Anyways, enough about that............. :) There I went again.
Well, Ive been a little grumpy lately for no apparent reason, but I AM just a little excited for school to start. I had thought that Nerdy Spirited School Jenny had fallen off the face of the earth, but shes still there.....just hiding behind some stress and other issues.
Anways, I think a nap may be in order!
Love all of you out there!
