Random Updates from the Past Week(ish)
- Spring is finally here, at least in the time of year sense. We’ve had some warm beautiful days, and some cold crummy days, but hopefully more of those warm days will be coming again soon. It seems like it’s been raining since I got home on spring break, even though it’s really only been the past two days. It finally seems like its going to be nice out today (at least in sunshine, I’m not so sure about temperature).
- On my way home from school on Saturday I stopped at the camp I’ll be working at for the summer to get a lay of the land and check out the procedures/protocols. I’m getting so excited for this summer. I am eager to share my faith through nursing with the staff and campers! I’ve also come to realize that I have a lot of stuff to get together before camp starts and not a whole lot of time to do it. I’ll be graduating on a Sunday and the following Tuesday I’m off to camp!
- The job search (post summer camp) is not going well. I have yet to hear back from anywhere I’ve applied to. Keep your fingers crossed for me!!
- Graduation is just around the corner! (SEVEN WEEKS to be exact.) Talk about coming up fast. Before spring break we had a meeting with the nursing department to discuss our pinning ceremony and preparing and taking the NCLEX exam (nursing boards). Once I’m done with school you’ll probably hear me grip about the NCLEX for awhile.
Random Stories from the News
- More flooding? In Fargo, ND the river is rising and schools are closing in order for the students to help sandbagging efforts.
- OCTUMOM: still in the news, go figure. What needs to happen to make sure these kids are safe? The most important thing is making sure the kids are getting the love and support they need – she now has 14 kids, how is she going to take care of 14 kids? Ethically we need to make sure these kids are going to be ok.
- In Local news: the seven-year-old girl from my hometown who was pulled from Lake Winnebago after being submerged in ice water for 30 minutes was released from the hospital five weeks after the incident. It is reported that she has some problems with her short term memory and her finger dexterity, but she is doing well. Please keep her in your prayers.
