Ok, so that song is in my head still. It has been in there for quite sometime on and off since the birmingham road trip to see Red's fam.
Now, I know I havent updated in a while, but Ive found that I have to be in the right, patient mood to type things out. Ive also been super duper busy lately, but I function best that way. School is going well. I had my first oncology clinical yesterday, and I did everything the nurse would do. And, my preceptor was randomly Maria, who I met through Red at church one night a while back. So, it made for a good night. THe nurses on Oncology at St. Francis are great. Tomorrow, i have my first real day in the St. francis ER. I have a feeling its going to be awesome, but super hectic. I mean, come on, its a Level 1 trauma center, theres no way its actually organized. So the leader in me wants to jump all over the any traumas or exciting opportunities that come in. And the other .05% of me wants to panic and stand back. I guess Ill just have to wait and see how smoothly, or horribly, the first shift goes. Both of my clinical instructors turned out to be amazing, (even though last night I pretty much had to teach her the computer charting system.) I also had my first weekend at OSF adn that went really well. Two twelves in one weekend isnt exactly my idea of a good time, but a good paycheck, and then I get the next weekend off. Its really nice. I am building SUCH a great resume, too! Im still staying involved in SK too, just not going to chapter and the really official stuff. Im excited to return next semester though! Rush is almost over, bid day is Sunday, and I desperatly hope that my cousin is among the ladies that coming running over to our house. (dont know if she reads this or not!:) ) Anyways.......what else is going on. Red and I have been hangin out a lot more lately, so thats been fun......but I think we both know to take it easy for now. I just laugh a lot with him, and I can act like a goofball.
hmmmm........oh yeah, i also ran for and got the position as cirriculum committee rep for all three levels of nursing students. I just go to the faculty meetings and bitch to them about whatever needs to be bitched about. Its pretty awesome, and a great way to get involved and get to know your professors.
The big LA decision is still up and the air, and Im finally OK with that. As of now, Im really leaning on going......I think just because I have the confidence to now. Im just going to see where the next few months takes me, and then do some more soul searching! Advice always helps though!
Ive had a lot of fun with my roomies and friends going out when I can, even though at times things go awry. Were all fun in our own way!
Alright, well Ill try to be better at updating!!
Hope school, work, whatever is going great for everyone!!
Love
