I might be getting a job as a Nurse Intern (YAH YAH).

Hey everyone,

Great news!! Okay while I was at clinicals today on the cardiac floor (remember I want to be a cardiac nurse) the floor nurse manager asks me if I would like a job and I was like well what do you mean job? She said that she had a nurse intern position open for me if I wanted it and the thing was that I was already thinking about applying for it but talked myself out of it and thought it would be too much to handle so I quit thinking about. However, today it was brought up again and I was actually being recruited for the job. So I was like yeah. First of all the pay rate is AWESOME. I can work whatever hours I want. If I work at least 20 hours a week I can qualify for health insurance (another major plus). So she told me to put in an application and to call her after I did. When I got home from clinicals I immediately did it and called her. She said that she will be calling me back sometime to set-up an appointment time to meet. So cross your fingers I get it. I really want the experience and to get my foot in the door because that is the floor I want to work on after I graduate in May. Not to mention I am been praying to God about it and of course everything will go as He wants it planned.

Well I am off to do my careplan (blah :-( blah). I hate careplans…so time consuming. Oh yeah check out my twitter thing in the left hand corner…cool huh?! You can always check here to see what I am doing. Have a great week!

Until next time,
Sarah ;-)

On Fall Break, Bought a Nintendo Wii, Nursing School is very time consuming!!

Hey Everyone,

I have been MIA a little bit but I have some good excuses LOL. Let’s see…I am on fall break which consists of no school for Monday & Tuesday of this week. I actually only have to go to school only one day this week which is absolutely awesome! I don’t have class on Wednesdays. Thursday is my home health clinical day and Friday’s class is cancelled (but I do have an assignment to do to make up the time lost).

So the reason I have been MIA…..I have had lots of tests and projects to do and plus school is keeping me wore out. This past weekend I was so tired that I barely got out of bed which when I did it was to eat or use the bathroom. I was extremely lazy that I thought I might be coming down with something but it was just from being over worked! But now I feel revived and have been getting some stuff done. I had to do my careplan during the break and study for a test I have next Monday (they just keep laying it on ya). Overall, I am doing really good in my classes and everything is going smoothly. I just can’t wait til Christmas break which is in about 6 weeks…I think.

So guess what Ben and I did….if you can’t tell from the blog title we bought a Nintendo Wii lol. Now I am so cool! Okay granted I am a little too old to be playing video games but trust me the Nintendo Wii is for everyone regardless of age. It is so so much fun! It is like you are actually in the game. You have to use muscles that you never thought you had. I played it so much yesterday that my arm and back muscles are killing me….as I write this blog post I have a heating pad on my back to help with the ache. I swear if I take deep breaths my back muscles start to ache. The Wii came with a sports game that consisted of bowling, golf, tennis, boxing, and baseball. My favorite is bowling! It actually feels like you are bowling. I LOVE it. Tonight we are going to play Mario Galaxy LOL I am such a nerd :-) The only catch to buying the Nintendo Wii is that we are not going to buy each other any Christmas gifts, Wedding anniversary gifts (which is in January), or Valentine’s Day gifts because it did set us back a little bit. Here is our little ole’ Wii (It is small…I thought it would be bigger): The thing beside the system is called the Wii mote….isn’t that clever. Say it aloud LOL!!

 Oh yeah, just to prove to you it is for everyone regardless of age….during my clinical rotation at the nursing home they had the residents playing the Nintendo Wii for exercise. They really liked it and these residents are in their 70s, 80s, & 90s. So there you have it! I hope everyone has a great week!

Until next time,

Sarah =0)
