Hey guys! I FINALLY got a real live nursing job. Now, let me tell you how awesome God is. Those who remember my story, I have wanted to be an oncology nurse. I graduated last May but was in a car wreck that broke most long bones I possess. I was able to finally take boards Feb.12 and passed(first try) and on March6th I got my license. I had surgery on a non-union humerus March5th. Well the arm isn't healed 100% but my doc said I can work. New grads start out here at about $16/hr. I applied at a hospital here asking for $18/hr. I got oncology, $18/hr plus $5/hr for noc shift and $3.50 qowkend on top of that. I start on Monday. I just bought my scrubs today and my white Dansko's (those were 20% off!) I've been dreaming about! Man! I wanted to holla in the uniform shop! So, after this long road I am finally in the mix. I am SO excited and terrified at the same time. But I know God won't drop me now. He's carried me (and my broken up husband) this far. Smooches!!!!!!!
