#191 - brandi RN

i did it, i passed my NCLEX. whoo hoo!! party time!! wait, actually this means now i have to look for and find a job, and then start working. oh bollocks! it's not that i don't want or need a job, i really do. it's more that i will probably start working full time and not have any time or energy for other things. i want to be paid for sitting at home and doing nothing, or going to the gym, or grocery shopping and cooking, or traveling. these are exciting ideas for jobs. if anyone knows of jobs like these, let me know.

in all seriousness though, i am excited to be done and officially a nurse! woot! i do want to meet and help people, it's cool. nursing is a fun and interesting profession, i am stoked. new job, new scrubs, new co-workers, new boss, new patients, new money, new house, new dog. ahem, yes, i said dog. this does not have anything to do with nursing but i have the opportunity to get a dog, less than one year old so i guess a PUPPY!! she is a chihuahua (of course) and not trained yet so i have to do that. a family wants to give her up because i guess she is a handful, DUH she is a puppy! if all goes well i will get her in about a week and then start training her. i am not sure when i will be training for my temporary job (at the nursing home where i've worked as a CNA) but i know i will have lots of time to hang out and train the puppy dog. WOOF!! her name is "little bit" which i will definitely change. she is tan colored and adorable. any suggestions for names? i was thinking lolita or bella (haha twilight!). i haven't actually met her yet so maybe i will wait till then. i've never had a girl dog before or trained a puppy by myself. research begins.

CONGRATULATIONS! woo hoo! that's exciting, starting off all new again, good luck with your job search, at least there's no super-rush too since your current employers are so nice to let you work there until you find something permanent, that means you can really shop around... plus i've heard that pac northwest area is the best for hospital jobs, my cousin is in OT living in oregon and she actually bargained with her employers to let her make her entire work schedule (when she had kids) and they let her because they wanted to keep her!

anyway, seems like everyone's getting puppies this summer... kristen got a shiba inu, my aunty got a beagle, and now you're getting a chihuahua? wow, lucky buggers...

Yea! Congratulations! And also awesome news about the dog! Too bad you and the dog didn't live here because then we could have doggie play dates.
