I went and changed everything!

In February of 2002 I passed the NCLEX exam and recieved my license to practice as Registered Nurse. I worked my way through nursing school as a nurse's aid in the nursery and went on to work as an RN in the nursery. I tell you all this so you will understand that as a nurse I have ONLY worked with babies......just babies.......only babies for ten years.

So recently I have been ready for a change. A few things changed at my job that I wasn't 100% happy about and I was ready to do something different. One day I was pulled to the ER to help out because we didn't have a lot of patients in our nursery. I am telling you those nurses were on top of things. They knew so much and were ready for anything. I was so jealous. Why? I know babies, that's it. If you are more than two weeks old or weighed over 10 pounds I can not help you. I wanted to be a Super Nurse just like those nurses.

 

So I looked around to see if there was anything available. Lo and Behold, there was. Right in my hometown and for the shift I needed! I knew a friend that worked there already and she was happy. It was a sign!

 

 

I sent in my resume, filled out the application, passed the drug test and the insanely hard math exam,criminal background check came back with no problems (not that I was worried), and did well in the interview.

After all that, I was hired to work in the ER here in town! So here is to a big change and a new era in my career. Wish me luck!!
