I have a job!! Yippee!!! This week, I was offered a position in the ER at Harris Methodist Fort Worth and I gladly accepted it. My start date is January 11, 2010 and there is so much to do between now and then...finish the semester, graduate, decorate/enjoy the holidays, study for the boards, PASS the boards, and of course I need to absorb the fact that I am going to work as a nurse in a fast-paced downtown emergency department! It's so exciting to think about all that I will experience next year but at the same time, I am already nervous and scared out of my mind.
I have 4 weeks left of schoolwork. Things are really starting to wind down and I couldn't be happier. I made a B on my cardiac test which was a huge burden off my back. We are studying neuro right now- traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, epilepsy, etc. Clinical has been great. I am on an Oncology floor and I am really enjoying it. Got to give a patient a platelet transfusion the other day for the first time! That was cool. I am also a pro at giving IV pain meds now after having a sickle cell patient. It's hard to believe that it's almost all over!
So, as you can see...I'm starting to wrap up the old and think about the new. Any ideas on what I should call my blog in 2010??? The journey is almost over!
