Weekly Review

This week has been pretty low key work wise so far.

Probably because my clinicals are on Saturday and Sunday

this week. I was so happy to make a quick trip home last weekend.

It is so comforting to see my family. It just like and unspoken

even unrealized need is met by being home.

I got back and causght up on some school assignments, and

then realized I only have 70 days left in my undergrad journey!

Okay so while I am supre pumped this isn't as enjoyable as I

had imagined. Mostly due to the stress of not having a job lined up

on top of the larger than life NCLEX hanging over my

head.

I called an old clinical instructor and mentioned I had not heard

anything from the applications I had submitted at UAB and

she suggested applying other places. My stomach dropped a bit.

Hmm....other places I had just always assumed I would work

there. I havnt really thought about moving aways or working at other

hospitals. I have done all of my clinicals there except one.

So I put on my big girl pants and applied to other places even

in Enterprise. I meet with the UAB nurse recruiter next week. Please

pray the interview goes well, and that she can help me find

a job that fits my skills and talents. I have nothing against going

home, but I really want to be exposed to as much as possible to

grow and develop as a new nurse.

Most of all pray that no matter the outcome I will be able to say,

"Lord your will be done," and move forward to the next trial.

Today is the 5 year mark of the March 1st tornado in my home

town. I miss my cheer buddies often, and have a picture

of them in my dorm room. They were special boys and

some of my best friends in cheerleading!

This year I am thanking God for using this situation to

show me personally that we are not promised a long life,

but a full life through him who provides our every need

and sustains us throughevery hour wether happiness or

trials are present.

Brad sent me this text yeaterday! He is going to be on the

big screen at the Alabama Theater for skit night at his school.

I am excited to visit the theater again. It is really beautiful.

It is almost swim season! At my last clinical at health smart the

nurse shared some great nutrition tips so I am trying these

out and seeing if I get any new results....
