The week after graduation I had a wonderful get-away with Megan, Mom, Ashley, three aunts, a cousin, one of Ashley's friends, and a second-cousin. We spent a few days in Gulf Shores, then on Memorial Day Megan, Mom, Ashley, Alena and I headed over to Pensacola to see Kaycee and Steven. It was so nice to get away from everything and just enjoy the days!
Since we got back, however, I've been stuck in the house studying while workers build a new deck and do some work in the den, upstairs bathroom, and my bedroom. I did get to see John Sunday night, so that was definitely a bonus! I got my authorization to take boards last week and I'm scheduled to take them June 17th! I should know how I did either the next Friday or Monday after that. If I pass I will officially be an RN and it will be time to REALLY job search. The hospital where I applied and interviewed for the NICU position has all but fallen through. At the moment they have no positions available since administration decided to get rid of the Baylor position, making a lot of as needed people become either part or full time in order to save money. That would be my dream job, but I'm just going to have to face the fact that I need to start looking elsewhere. It seems that the economy-proof job isn't really economy-proof at all! Right now I'm praying for God to lead me where I need to be. I've also been doing some research and discovered that after graduating with my BSN next May, I can be a nurse practitioner in only 17 months. Right now I'm looking at the cost and requirements, and then when the time comes sooner John and I will have to decide what is best for us considering he will probably need a Master's to get a good job. I'm just not sure how things will work if we both attempt graduate work at the same time. We'll just go with the flow for now!
