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!
Hey Cheerful doer - thats great news! Reading your thread makes me happy, and you are about to go on a journey through space and time. 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.
your thoughtfulness and well wishes mean the world to me....better than any gift-wrapped present i could ever receive here at allnurses! (((((hugs))))))) :kiss
mario...i'd be honored to have you work as my cna anyday. i wish you all the best in your nursing career for i know you'll graduate a wonderful nurse. :)
now...you all know what my first purchase is going to be when i receive my first paycheck, don't you????
a dell computer!!! that and a bed will probably be my only couple pieces of furniture for awhile...and a microwave for me to cook all my t.v. dinners in after work since i'll be working twelve hour days.
Cheerfull so glad for you! Congrats and all the best. Just remember this I learned from one of my great PCTs. " I am too blessed to be stressed!" That about sums it up. Sherry
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
