First Day of Orientation for my New Job & Rain Rain Go Away….

Sponsored Links

Hey Everyone,

I hope every one’s week has started out with a bang. My week has started out with full force. I had orientation today which was from 8am-4pm. It was actually pretty good. It feels like all the information (policies..etc) is coming together because I have really just got the information in bits and pieces with my clinicals and now it feels like it is all coming together….woohoo.  I think I know every code out there….code blue, code pink. code 6, code toro. I have to say I am super excited about the health insurance benefits and the retirement plan. It will be SOOO nice to have health and dental insurance for both me and Ben. Right now I don’t have either because I can not afford it and I pray for the best. But soon I won’t have too.

I have orientation again tomorrow 8am-430pm. Here is the outlook for the week: VERY BUSY….Wednesday 8am-400pm, Thurs. orienation 8am-4pm, Friday OFF, Saturday clinicals 7am-7pm, Sunday 7am-7pm, Monday 7am-7pm….I can’t believe I’m doing 3 twelves in a row.

So today it has been raining all day. It has actually been raining for like 7 days straight. It has been gloomy, cloudy, dark, and rainy. It is rather depressing. Anywho….today after orientation I needed to go and pick up my cap & gown because they were having this thing where you can pick it up. I didn’t want to do it at all because of the rain, trouble finding a parking space, and I was very tired from orientation but I went anyways because I wanted to get it over with and get it. So I went…huge mistake!! I found a parking space (luck was on my side), walked in the rain (pretty decent walk), and arrived at the place where I needed to pick it up. Well guess what??!! They didn’t have anymore cap gowns in my size….yeah! They only had 4′11-5ft & 5′10′ and up. I’m 5′5 so none of those worked. Now I have to wait until 2 weeks before graduation to get it. So needless to say I was a little wet, tired, and frustrated.

Oh well though I can wait until later on to get it. Well I’m off to finish watching House M.D. I hope everyone has a great day tomorrow!

Until next time,

Sarah ;-)

    Gotta love it when a plan come together.
    Sounds like time crunch is coming in; good thing you had a break!

    That sucks that they didn’t have a gown for you. And I feel your pain about the rain. If it keeps up I’m going to have to look up what a cubit is (a Bill Cosby reference…). It has been so gray and wet for so long, it was so hard to find any motivation over the weekend.

    Make sure you get plenty of rest this next week!

    Hey SendAManToNursingSchool,

    So you have been having the rainy weather too huh! It must be something about this time of year because it has been super depressing. All I want to do is sleep and watch tv when it is like this. However, I am very happy to say that it is super sunny here and 67′F and I’m fixing to go out and enjoy it hehe. Yes, crunch time is upon me and I bet for you too. I hope everything is going good for you too….summer break will be here before you know it!
