The Next Step


Well, it's official. I'm officially ready to begin the next step in my career. Not too long ago, I recieved a phone call saying I was being offered a nurse intern position. I'm rather excited. I'll be working at Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield in their 8 week nurse intern program. I'll be working on 3 North, which is a cardiac floor. I work 32 hours per week with that, and then I'll be working 8 hours a week in my current job as Nursing Assistant in the Birth Center. I can't believe I've been working there for almost 2 years already. I'm excited and scared at the same time. Excited, because it's the next step and because I'll learn a lot. Scared because people's lives are going to be in my hands. I work with a nurse preceptor, and she pretty much follows us around to make sure we're doing everything right and then she gives us little hints along the way. I didn't think I had shared that with anyone, so I thought I should. Only 4 more weeks of school! Yay! Oh yeah, one more thing, I'm going to Colorado on a road trip in May. I'm excited. I think that's about all that's new with me, hope everyone is doing well!
