News too good to keep to myself...

I was just offered a NICU position on the unit where I recently completed my Practicum! Thank God!

I accepted it, of course. It's the fulfillment of a dream...going right into the NICU as a new grad. It's also a bit frightening!

A million thanks to God, my sweet wife who supported me through school, and all of my friends on AllNurses.com for their steady advice and support.

Time for some PF Chang's or something to celebrate! So good to be employed after so long with no job while in nursing school!

Thanks. Looking forward to 23 years of it, myself. :)

Hospital orientation is over as of today, and I'll start on the floor with a preceptor tomorrow.
