Yes, this is your favorite working girl FINALLY writing some updatage. I just finished my week’o'orientation, well, let me clarify, just finished my FIRST week of orientation. This was the fun week where we sat in front of computers and listened to “guest speakers” all day every day. Thankfully I had two amazing educators who made most things fun. I still have 12 weeks of on-floor orientation, where I learn how to be a nurse, woo!
After I got my NCLEX results I fled to the Lake for a glorious 5 days. It’s hard to describe what it felt like to have a truly responsibiliy/worry-free vacation for the first time in over a year. It was one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. I plan on repeating it next week when I have a WHOLE 6 consecutive days off and my dear cousins are in town. I can feel the jealousy as I read this, so I will move on.
Yes, it’s nice to join the working world, with all its paychecks and schedules and interaction with others. I am happy.

LOVE!

Hey guys, still here.
Wanted to remind you that 5 weeks and 28 minutes from right this second, I’ll be at my pinning ceremony! I’ll be DONE! Well, then I’ll have to pass the NCLEX. Then I’ll be DONE! Okay now it’s 27 minutes. Now I’m doing my leadership clinical, which is basically as close as you can get to working as a nurse, just without getting paid! Awesome! I’m getting more comfortable, which is really great! One of my patients commented on how my confidence had improved from my first day with her to the second, and it made me feel great! Still can’t start a dang IV though, grrr. Honestly, it’s really hard to believe this year is almost over. Whew!
Also I’m planning my Leadership Project with a group of 5 other people. It’s called Rounds for Ronald and it’s a disc golf tournament to raise money for Ronald McDonald House. If you’re around KC next Saturday, April 17 and play disc golf, COME on OVER!! We’d love to have you!
I finally broke through my weight-loss plateau today, so that’s exciting! I’m still in week 2 of my “running for beginners” program. Still do not like to run.
That’s about it for now!

LOVE!

23 minutes and 5 weeks!
