Officially On My Own

The last five weeks at work, I have been going through an orientation. So I have had somebody by me at all times of the day, doing who-knows-what to make sure I am within an appropriate schedule, reminding me of all the little nuances that being a nurse entails.

I am excited to be on my own, but I am so nervous to find out just how much help I have been receiving without realizing it. I'm so scared that I will be running around with my head cut off and I will be forgetting things left and right.

But before then, my entire family will be going down to St. George, Utah for one last hoorah before Brenna leaves for South Korea.

New Job!

I AM OFFICIALLY WORKING AS A NURSE!! I went in an signed all the paperwork today and will be starting in a week. Gone are the days of working as a CNA. Gone are the days of working dumb shifts.

I received a job at Utah Valley Specialty Hospital which is a Long-Term, Acute-Care Hospital on the Med-Surg floor.

I'm excited to jump into nursing and see how I fare. I'm nervous out of my mind, but I always am when it comes to uncharted territory. I have full confidence that I will do well, but alas, I am still nervous out of my mind.
