Graduated! And first job!

[lindsey.erin]

I graduated Friday...thank the Lord! It's been a hard semester, thank you all for your prayers. I'm the one that was scared I wouldn't be able to finish school because of my mom's diagnosis of ovarian cancer. I was able to survive and my mom is doing the same! She's doing wonderfully.

So graduated Friday and got a job offer today! It's at a gastroenterology clinic. I will start off through a temp agency as a medical assistant for 3 months (since I dont' have my license yet), this will also serve as my orientation. I'm so nervous! But so, so excited. Everyone in my class wanted this job and I got it!

Anyone with gastro experience willing to shed a bit of light onto what I will be doing? I'm at a loss. I am so excited though, I feel like applauding myself and screaming lol:yeah:

I don't know a thing about nursing. haha. But I will say CONGRATULATIONS. All of you who come back and post after you've graduated and talk about passing the NCLEX etc have me super motivated. It's really inspiring. GOOD JOB!

congrats girl!!!!! gastro is fun and very interesting. i came from the ER and fell into gastro by default. i assist with procedures and its really awesome to see the human body from the inside and see different conditions such as peptic ulcer disease or colon cancer up close and personal. you will learn alot! good luck!
