Changes

So I am new to the blogging world. Please forgive me if I am not clever, funny, or at all interesting.

A little background about me...I'm a mother of 2 pugs, newly single, just graduated from nursing school in December, and moved to a new city. Talk about life changes. I am getting adjusted though, which basically means I have been sitting in my apartment watching television and studying for NCLEX but hey, it's a start.

I started this blog because I am starting a new career and am looking for a place to vent/discuss/bitch/cry about work and the ups and downs and ins and outs of life. Although I am still unemployed, I am hopeful that the right job is just around the corner. I have actually been offered two positions..one in a Neuro ICU in a small rural-ish hospital...the other a Med/Surg stepdown unit in a large hospital. Unfortunately, both of these jobs were not in my area...one an hour and a half away and the other an hour away so I declined them both. I applied to these jobs hoping to move with my boyfriend of 4 years, obviously that isn't going to happen now so it was time for a new plan.

I had an interview yesterday in a local teaching hospital in oncology...it's pretty much a new grad job that cross trains in Surgical Oncology, Medical Oncology, and BMT (bone marrow transplant). I had never considered oncology before but the more I have done my research and self-reflecting, I really think this is THE job. It may not seem like it but I really am caring, compassionate, and empathetic. I pride myself in having a really big heart and feel that I could really make a difference in this possible job opportunity. I laugh with the best of them & cry with no shame. I think I will make a damn good oncology nurse...we will see, I have my fingers and toes crossed for this one. Wherever the path leads me I am sure it will be an eventful one.

 Now back to NCLEX studying...7 days until D-day.
