I have an Interview!!

So I just thought I would throw a post up about the fact that I have a job interview coming up and I would really appreciate any advice that you may have about how to have an effective interview.  Please give me any little pointers you may have used and were well liked by your interviewees!  Thanks!

Interview

Fake Out!

So my test date has been moved to September 22nd, but I do have a job interview at Loma Linda University Medical Center for the cardiac ICU!!

And I have a Date!

A test date that is.  I will be taking the NCLEX to become a registered nurse on September 21st at 11am in Anaheim!

Did you Know?

Going outside for 5-30 minutes twice a week can give you the amount of vitamin D that you need.  Vitamin D is important for proper absorption of Calcium, and if you want to have strong bones you will get out in the sun!  Go for a jog, walk, or even skip outside.  Grow a garden or go swimming.  Just a little FYI!

I have my Interim Permit

This means I am one step closer to becoming a nurse.  Now all I need is the form that tells me I can schedule the Exam!!!

The Summer

So my summer went incredibly fast.  The summer was full of weddings, bridal showers, bachelorette parties, bachelor parties, hiking, and more.  I have not blogged about any of it, and so I am going to attempt to display my summer in pictures right now!  I am finally finished with nursing school!!!!  It was a very, very difficult summer for me, but it was also a lot of fun.  Thank you to those of you who prayed for me, and encouraged me in my quest to become a nurse.  I needed that support more than you could ever know.  Also thanks to those of you who are still my friend after enduring that with me.  I will hopefully take the nursing state boards by mid-september, and I have applied for a few jobs and I am waiting to hear back!  Well here is the pictures!

Taking a Breath

To me, taking a breath means that I am getting to relax, I am taking a moment to myself to just think about my day, what went on, what I will do next, or just taking a cat nap.  But what does that mean for someone else?  When a patient who has just had trauma from a motor vehicle accident that is not responding, everyone stands by to see if he will take a breath.  A mother watches as her baby is born still and she waits and hopes for her son to take a breath.  A near drowning victim receives CPR, her mother stands by hoping that her child will breathe once again.  I am busy right now, a week of 12 hour days is hard.  My feet hurt and I get dizzy when I stand up too fast, but at the end of the day, I count my blessings to know that I can take a breath one more day.  It puts perspective into my life when I am reminded that Christ died for me and I now live in his grace.  I can make it through the next 10 weeks, and I will find those moments precious that I can take a breath and thank Him for his goodness in my life.

Adorable!

Ok is this not one of the cutest pictures ever!?  We matched on Sunday!

Pray for me…

I know all along this has been hard, but pray for me as I enter my last 12 weeks.  I want to grow professionally and display Christ at the same time.  Please pray that I will find joy amidst hard long 12-13 hour days, and that I will get enough sleep.  Thank you!!!!
