Well gang, it's official! I start the rn refresher program in Dayton, Ohio on January 13th at the same hospital I was born at! I"m so excited, I've been grinning so hard my cheeks are starting to hurt...but the hurt is GOOD because I am going back to work in a career field that I have always dearly loved...nursing! Ahhhhhhhh....it's so refreshing to have been given this blessing right at Christmas! :D

I will be traveling alone by car very early this coming Saturday morning to my daughter's in Indy where I will hang out while preparing for my transition back to being a Buckeye once again after soooooooo many years away! Indianapolis is only an hour's drive from where I will be working, so spending Christmas and New Years with my daughter, son-in-law, and seven grandkids will be plenty of exercise for me to prepare me for the halls of nursing again! ;)

Please pray/send up positive thoughts for me to have safe travels this weekend! I've waited five long years for this gift of returning to nursing, and now it's finally here! :)

I'm looking forward to enrolling at Wright State in their RN-BSN program by Fall 2003 (I found out that I can't start before that time frame unless I take their online RN-BSN course which starts twice a year...in the spring and the fall).

Well, I just wanted to share my wonderful blessings with my Allnurses siblings! :nurse:

You are about to enter "The Employment Zone." :-) Have a safe trip back to buckeye land. I wish I could be your CNA during every day of your orientation. This is great news!! All my best to you.

Thank you Heather333 and SherryRN! Happy Holidays to you and your families, too! :)

Sherry, "I am too blessed to be stressed" is one of my favorite quotes, too! How can I possibly say THANKS for all the wonderful things HE has done for me in my life! I repeat that phrase over and over in my mind whenever I start to feel the slightest tension over anything, and it pulls me back to the positive side of living everytime! Thanks for sharing it with me! :kiss :nurse:
