New job

It has been forever since I last posted. Even though this is fun to do, I just don't have the time to do it often. I am again in the middle of a night shift. Very tired. Eyes burning. Hives on my hands, feet, shoulders. I'm wishing for my bed. Tomorrow, I start orienting at my new job. (well, it's tonight, now) I didn't get the day job that I was hoping for, so instead, I accepted one of the night shift charge nurse positions that was offered to me. I ended up taking the one closest to home. With these gas prices, it will be nice to have 2 shifts per week automatically close enough that I could walk or bike if I wanted to. Besides, the closer one also was able to allow me to work 8 hour shifts instead of 12 hour shifts. That is good for me right now. (though I think I'll try a couple of orientation shifts that are 12 hour just to see how they go.) I'm kind of excited to try this new challenge. It's not what I wanted, but it should be better than what I'm currently doing. I'm hoping it won't wear me out so much. Still, there will be much to learn. I haven't been an RN for that long and I will be responsible for all kinds of things that maybe I haven't had much experience with yet. It's all good, though. It will be a good experience for me, I hope. Ok, I have to get back to work.

I added some pics today

Ok, this is fun. I added a few pics today to make my site here more interesting. When I have more time, I want to explore more and see what fun I can have. It seems like a fun way to stay up on friends and family. And a fun way to let others stay up on me and my family.
David and I tried out the new bubble blower that he got for his birthday today. We love to play with bubbles! Also, I cut his hair. It was needing it. It gets so thick and unruly looking as it grows out. He looks handsome with it short and it bring out his eyes more. I like it! I think I did a pretty decent job on it! Wish I had pics to post. Ah, those of you with digital cameras that work must have fun with that.

work

A gal at work was showing me how to do this. I think it will be fun to try. I'm at work right now and oh so tired. I can't quit yawning. These night shifts are killing me slowly.
Speaking of work, I've applied for a new job and I'm supposed to find out if I get it next week. I'm needing a change and this new job would definately be a change. I would really like to try this new job and it's driving me nuts wondering if I'm going to get it or not. It's an office job.
M-F 0800-1630. That in itself is different. It's funny, I've never considered myself a morning person, and yet I'm way excited about the possibility of getting this new job. I wonder what's up with that! I'm getting tired of regular hospital floor nursing, but have never done anything but direct patient care since graduating back in 1987! I love the idea of having a different kind of job that still uses my degree. (I worked long and hard for that degree!) The older I get, the more I'm thinking that the direct patient care is for the 20-somethings. It's wearing me out! Gotta run and take care of my patients! I'll post again soon!
