So since the new year began I have just been applying for temporary nursing positions with little luck. However I did get some good news; when I was a student in Colorado I worked for the cancer center at the University of Colorado hospital for a long time and actually continued to work for them remotely while I was in San Diego for nursing school. Well they are so amazing and want me back! So I will be doing some temporary data entry for them and then they pitched the idea that they will eventually transition me over to a temporary RN position! I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs!!! So while it is not floor nursing, it is nursing and I will be starting IV's, taking vitals, monitoring patients, talking with them, etc. And eventually I could be transitioned into an infusion nurse there which would be fabulous! I am so excited! So it looks like I will have a job for the time being and I will gain some nursing skills in the mean time while I wait for this hip to heal.
As for Navy related news, not much to report here, although I have been busy just sending the Navy all my official documents, diploma, transcript, license, etc. Now that they have everything it will literally just be the note I get from my doctor clearing me that will get the ball rolling again. I have an appointment set up for March 16th and while that seems really far away it isn't! So I just continue to do my rehab and take it easy so that everything heals like its supposed to. I have been feeling much better now and I know I am on the mend because my pain has diminished significantly and I am able to do more than ever.
Oh and lastly, I will be taking a trip to the Dominican Republic next week for some well deserved R&R
