I CAN PUT AN RN, BSN AFTER MY NAME NOW. it's crazy town!! i got through nursing school, somehow, and passed the NCLEX, by the grace of god a little luck, and the prayers of good people. hahaha. it scares me a little how well i've progressed on the plans i've laid out, despite them being pretty short and achievable (i think?). well, bottom line...i am officially status ACTIVE. go me!
i am also realizing the huge importance of job satisfaction as a factor to happiness, work enthusiasm, and productivity. every day, i am thankful to have a job. well, internship. but every day, i don't want to go into work to stare at a computer and wrestle with why the software doesn't do what i want it to do. i get up every hour to go to the bathroom, get coffee, do anything else than be at my cubicle and crunch through excel sheets. i want a real job!!! and its getting more and more depressing when i see facebook statuses updated with people getting jobs and starting their first days. it seems so easy for everyone else. but i guess i'm not really at grovelling point yet. i'll get there soon enough. @_@
so...now onto the hard stuff. finding a job, or a residency. somewhere. which means maybe i'll have to relocate. something that hasn't really hit me yet as a reality. i just can't wait to be out of that cubicle, i guess. but not quite ready to accept all the reponsibilities of growing up either? i don't know.
anyways, i want to end on a happy note, so here we go.
1) congratulations to all my friends who just made it out of the CON, and best wishes for all of your very very bright futures!!! :)
2) and also a shout out to the amazing and beautiful people who passed NCLEX, found jobs (grr! hahaha), and are going to rock the nursing world. my eternal affections go out to you. :D
