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!
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!
Thank all of you for your kind wishes! The area I will be working in will be Medical Cardiology (at this writing anyway ) As for my little poochie Prince, he will be staying behind here in Texas with his "Daddy". Prince would not survive that type of weather. Wintertime is the wrong season to take him with me. I'll get to see him after Winter is over sometime. Now, if my husband goes to war, I will see him much sooner. I'll miss my little Princie-poo, but he is in great hands with his "Daddy". They sleep so well together on the sofa! :rotfl: He often sleeps right on top of his daddy, or as close as he can. Check out this photo:
Thanks Julie! I'm looking forward to meeting you, and many others up that way in the not too distant future. What part of Indy are you in? I know you told me once, but...you know...the mental brain farts I get at times.....:rotfl:
Renee, I am so happy for you!!!:kiss You know you will be in my prayers as you travel and start your new job. I hope your holidays are wonderful! God bless!
Congratulations, Renee! What a neat way to start the new year; now you can enjoy the holidays while preparing to start your career again. And what a great day Jan 13th is; it's my 30th Birthday!
I'm jealous; I wish I could have a new job to start out in January. But best wishes to you.
