BUSY BUSY BUSY

OK, WELL I STARTED ORIENTATION AT THE CARE CENTER AT 7AM (yawn) AND WE GOT OUT AT 2PM (still yawn). THE DIRECTOR THAT HIRES EVERYONE, LORRE, WAS PUTTING TOGETHER THE SCHEDULE AND THEY FOUND THIS GIRL THAT WAS A NO CALL NO SHOW. SO LORRE AND THE RN WERE FREAKING OUT BECAUSE THEY WERE GOING TO BE SHORT STAFFED. WELL I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO WORE MY SCRUBS TO ORIENTATION (lil weirdo me) AND LORRE WAS JOKING AROUND SAYING "WELL ONDREA IS FRESH OUTTA ORIENTATION AND IS DRESSED TO START WORKING". SO, AS IT ALWAYS HAPPENS, I FELT BAD AND OFFERED TO WORK. THIS LITTLE OLD MAN KEPT TRYING TO ESCAPE, HE TRIED 4 TIMES WHILE I WAS ON SHIFT!! THEN I WAS PUTTING A WOMAN TO BED AND THAT SAME MAN CAME INTO HER ROOM. SHE SAT UP IN BED AND POINTED AT HIM AND SAID " HE IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE IN HERE! I DONT KNOW WHERE HE GOES BUT ITS NOT IN HERE!" SO WHEN I WAS DONE WITH HER I PUT THE GUY TO BED AND HELPED THE OTHER NURSES WITH VARIOUS THINGS SUCH AS CHANGING "BREIFS" ANSWERING CALL LIGHTS AND SHOWERINGS. WHAT AN EVENTFUL NIGHT... I TRIED TO READ MY BOOK TO CALM DOWN BUT I JUST ENDED UP CRASHING AND WHEN MY SISTER GOT HOME SHE WAS TALKING TO ME, BUT I DIDNT REMEMBER HALF OF OUR CONVERSATION... SO I WAS TELLING HER THE SAME STUFF THIS MORNING AND SHE SAID "YOU ALREADY TOLD ME THIS LAST NIGHT!"... SO IM UP FOR ANOTHER EVENTFUL NIGHT TONIGHT. MORE BLOGS TO COME ON THE RESIDENTS OF THE WEST WING AT THE CARE CENTER

SCHOOLING AND FINDING A CAREER ♥

SO YESTERDAY I WENT TO THE CARE CENTER IN RICHFIELD TO APPLY FOR A JOB. THE LADY ASKED ME IF I WAS A CNA AND I TOLD HER NOT YET. WELL SHE GOT ME ALL THESE APPLICATIONS TO FILL OUT AND TOLD ME THAT I COULD DO ON THE JOB TRAINING WHILE IM GOING TO SCHOOL TO GET MY CNA LICENSE. THEY WILL ALSO PAY FOR ME TO GO TO SCHOOL. SO IM TOTALLY THINKING ABOUT A CAREER IN NURSING (which has been an option for me). AFTER IM ALL TRAINED AND CERTIFIED I CAN GO TO SCHOOL TO BECOME AN LPN (they will pay for half of that) AND THEN I CAN CHOOSE MY PATH, WHETHER OR NOT I WANNA BECOME AND RN OR A XRAY TECH. IM PRETTY EXCITED AT THE FACT THAT MY LIFE IS GOING SOMEWHERE BESIDES HOUSEKEEPING AND BURGER FLIPPING. yea!!! THATS ABOUT ALL FOR NOW. TTYL

IM SERIOUSLY THINKING ABOUT GOING INTO BUSINESS MANAGMENT (to start my own bed and breakfast, o yea!) ALMOST ALL OF MY DEBT IS PAID OFF (the debt that accrues interest anyways) AND I WILL BE ABLE TO START OVER FRESH IS WHAT I FEEL LIKE. FOR ME, THIS VISIT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT A HEALING EXPERIENCE AND IT TURNED INTO A CHANGE OF PACE FOR ME, WHICH IS WHAT I THINK I NEEDED. I WILL ALSO TRY TO BLOG MORE CUZ YA'LL KNOW THAT DANA IS THE BLOGGER NAZI! (i love ya long time in a non-creepy kinda way!!!)
