The adventures of finding a job!!

SO… I am finally an RN!!!! Yay!! After 4 years of school I passed my boards! I received the minimum number of questions (75)!! Waiting to see if I passed my tests was the longest two days of my life!! I am so happy to be done and graduated! Graduation was so much fun with all of my family and friends around!!

My mom and dad threw me a party and it was amazing to see everyone. It is so fun to catch up with everyone that you don’t get to see as often as you would like!
I already miss all my friends from school, now that we are all grown up we have real jobs and have a lot of scheduling conflicts!!
I started working at a transitional rehab center in Riverton! I have met some amazing ladies I work with and we will be friends for a long time! The patients are also very fun! Each patient teaches me something every day, no matter how big or how small and issue is; I am learning a lot. I am still looking for jobs in a hospital and I hope to find one..someday!!
I have applied for 98 jobs in hospitals throughout the valley and the numbers are rising! I know if they would just give me a chance I could prove myself and be an amazing nurse!! Every time I get a rejection letter stating “after careful consideration we have picked another candidate.” My heart breaks a little no matter how much I tell myself I won’t get the job. I have always wanted to get into the NICU, haven’t gotten there yet, I have one more chance to get into a residency program before I no longer qualify! I will just keeping trying and work my way up. J

Time to study my brain out, while juggling life!

WOW!! Today I scheduled my NCLEX!! June 9th is the day we will find out at 8 am!!
Time to test my knowledge of 4 years!! I am so scared!
Time to study study study!!
And then nurse recruiter called me today to ask for an interview on their med-surg floor next Wednesday.
I am so excited but I have so much to do with trying to study, move rooms, work out with my firefighters, graduation and everything else that comes up!
Today I also got my cap and gown!! Which makes me so excited!! It seems so surreal to be done with school!!!
I already miss all my school friends which is weird!
I also went shopping last night and found the cutest dress for graduation!!
It was really funny I had to go by myself, due to scheduling conflicts so I would have to take a picture of me in the dress and the email to my mom for her opinion! That was fun!!
Last night I went to a Jazz class and a hip-hop class! I forgot how much I like dancing although it isn’t as much fun as when I was good!
The entire time I was in my hip hop class I would just start to laugh because of how white I am!!
Well time to study before I have to leave!!

The power of tears!

So last night as I was coming home from seeing Adventureland (which I love) with Kat and Sierra. I was going down the hill on fort union and the third lane opened up and so I went to the third lane and then I stopped at the stop light and the car behind me was flashing his brights at me nonstop so I was so confused the whle time at the light so I was like I will just pull over maybe it is a cop and I can't see his lights so I pull over and so does the person so a guy starts walking over to my car and a roll down my window like an inch and he comes over and says, "ma'am do you know the speed limit on this road?" "um.... (I am scared out of my mind) I think it is 45" "no it is 40, do you know how fast you were going?" "No, would you please tell me." "I need to see your license, registration and proof of insurance. Does your window roll down all the way??" I start crying!! "Yes it does sir, but I wasn't sure who would come to my car because I didn't see red and blue lights." he has a walkie-talkie and a vest on and he was in a darangoish car I am searching for my license everywhere and can't find so I start to cry harder! I realize it is in my pocket because I didn't take a purse to the movie, so I hand it to him and ask him if it is okay I turn off my car because my low fuel light is on and he tells me I can do whatever I like. I didn't know if I should ask him or not because I didn't want to get tazed or shot or anything like that and start to look for my registration, I couldn't remember what it looks like "You know what the speed limit is so we don't have to go over that correct?" "yes but would you please tell me how fast I was going?" "You were going 54 and you passed me on the right, so that is a double whammy right there" Ahh shit!! I still can't find my registration and I am crying hysterically he says, "it is okay, just calm down I don't need your registration just please slow down." and he walks back to his car. so I continue looking through my stuff trying to find my stuff in case he wants it trying to quit crying and after like 5 minutes he comes back to my car in which I just got upset again and started crying and he was like," Will your car not start ma'am" "Yes sir, but I am just waiting for my ticket." "You’re not getting one, I just want you to slow down." "ohh... okay I will, thank you."
Ohhh I was so scared!! I swear I try not to speed I only go 5 over and I am really upset because he didn't have any red and blue lights on!! and I totally should have got a ticket for going 14 over!! and I am going to blame kat because earlier when I was with her we were talking about getting pulled over so we cursed me and I have to blame myself for speeding related to singing and not paying attention darn you black eyed peas Boom Boom Pow!!

Finally!!

So today I finished my LAST undergraduate nursing paper ever!!
Now just finals and the Nclex Left!! YAY
