I'm a procrastinator
So there are things i should definitely be doing. Such as laundry since my sister did hers and my moms but did not do mine, so it has been sitting around for two weeks, writing my resignation letter for st. Joe's and mailing it, addressing my grandparents birthday cards, getting dressed b/c its now 2:30 pm and im still wearing pajamas and i smell like smoke from the bar last night, cleaning up my room and the rest of the house, reviewing my text book about hearts becasue i start my new job on monday, and going for a jog since it is a beautiful day outside. Instead of doing all those useful and important things I am typing an entry in my blog. However today i have made pasta salad so i guess that is on accoplishment. Anyway for those who remember me talking about it, my greek lady that I had to go on home visits to last semester called me today. She is so funny. I can't understand half of what she is saying but she is so sweet. I should go visit her and help her out and maybe once i start my job i will. I wish i lived in Towson so that i could stop over there. She told me she doesn't really like her student this semester because he is a boy. She said its her first time with a boy and she had always had students that were girls. She asked me if i knew any nice girls who could come help her out with her husband. Anyway I just thought I would share that she called me four months after I had last seen her. It was a little random. In other news i taught my dog to roll over. She isnt so good at it yet, but she can do it. She is just lazy and sometimes only rolls halfway over. The last little bit of news i have for you all, even tho everyone already knows cuz about 4 people read this, is that we might have a house to live in starting in june in Laurel, near Savage mill. Its a very nice townhouse with some powerline running through a field behind it. anyway enough procrastinating for now, its time to get some things accomplished.

Wahoo Im employed
Dear readers of my blog,
I have had an interesting two months. First of all, instead of being happy about graduation I got depressed, so that was a whole lot of fun. But i am better now. I had three job rejections, go me, I think partly as a result of feeling so terrible. So i put finding a job on hold for a week or two and focused on studing for NCLEX. I took that and passed it so I am now an official registered nurse in the state of Maryland. About a week after that I went for an interview at University of Maryland in Baltimore. It was on a telemetry floor, which really wasnt where I was wanting to work, I wanted to work in pediatrics. The interview went much better than my other ones and the nurse manager actually seemed interested in me, and made sure on my share day that I was getting a feel for the unit. When i left that day she offered me a job. I took it because the thought of taking a job at St. Joes made me want to cry, for about the millionth time this year. So I am happy now, and I am starting a new job around March 21st. So now that I have all that done I can focus on finding a new place to live, that is not my mommy's house. I love my mommy but I cannot live here forever. Plus, my cat likes it better when my dog is not around. For the next two weeks I will be working at Hallmark in the Columbia Mall, so come visit me. Tim and I went to New Jersey this weekend for a 50th birthday party. We got the Kevin Smith tour. WE saw quik stop and RST video. RST has a sign saying that they have VHS and nintendo. There is a Tattoo parlor next door. I took him to red bank on sunday cuz saturday everything was closed. WE went to Jay and Silent Bob's secret stash, where we bought Ducore a Steve-Dave action figure since he took care of my smelly dog all weekend. I am getting tired of writing in this silly thing, so that is going to be all for my update.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth, R.N.
i hate work.
the title says it all. and i looked at my grades today out of curiosity and they were actually posted already.
issues.... A-, should have been an A, and im pretty sure she didnt even read my last paper....but she did give me some points back which gave me that A- instead of a B+, so i shouldnt complain about that
leadership and management.....despite the fact that my clinical preceptor made me cry, gave me the worst evaluation i have ever recieved and told me that i was not professional because i yawned at 9 am on a monday morning i got an A- (its a good thing my actual professor didnt like her either).
community health.... B-, my lowest grade ever in the nursing program.... i must have really done bad on that final......
overall GPA for all 5 semesters at towson University: 3.45.....
ok thats enought about how smart, or stupid i am....i am going to bed.
jobs
I have a job interview on janurary 3rd, with the pediatrics department at holy cross hospital. I hope i get offered a job. That would be fantastic cuz then i could quit working at st. joes and sit around until my new job started. speaking of st. joe's, i got to put activated charcaol down and NG tube today. they tried to make the lady drink it but she vomited after the first sip. Gee, who whould have thought drinking charcoal would taste so bad. Oh and there was a fight in the ICU waiting room....like kicking and punching fighting. And then there was a code red (fire) in the room with the computers that are keepign track of the patients heart rhythms....what a weird night. thats all. bed time....
IM FINISHED
I took my last final today. I am finally done with school, and only a semester behind when i shoudl have finished. I was thinking today that if i had stayed i biology major, graduated from UMCP, and then gone to nursing school i would still have a year and half to go. Thank goodness i realized what a waste of time that would have been. but now its over. i thought i would cry when i was done my last final because its a huge relief but i didnt. now i all i need to do is pass the nclex to get my actual nursing lisence, renew my cpr certification, and find a job. Oh yeah and now i can finally have more time to enjoy the fact that its almost christmas. I love christmas. Im still a little kid. I love the lights and the decorations, and how nice all the stores look. I however do not like those stupid blow up santa and snowman things. I am going to go around and turn all the fans off that keep them up in the air. Now that im done i can finally write my gruduation announcements, party invitations and finish making my christmans presents. ok thats all for now. i need to shower cuz i just ran and i stink.
Hey Kids
I bet you all didnt even know i was still alive. Well unfortunately for you all who read this, I am. Ha, and you all knew this and i dont think anyone will read this, but i would liek you to know i am done school in 13 days. I need a job. I got a call from holy cross hospital, but the nurse manager from the pediatrics department hasn't called me yet. Thats a little disappointing. I think I will call the nurse recruiter on friday and ask about other openings like in the critical care unit, or ICU, or even med/surg so that i can get some experience and then maybe go into peds. Thats the problem, most places you need experience for peds. Kristina at work was going to ask her friend about the Pediatric intensive care unit at sinai. that would be cool, even though it would still be a far drive cuz its off northern parkway, but that might be nice. Oh well im not even taking boards until february so I still have time. I hate winter by the way. It gets dark to early. I do like the cold tho. Oh and my graduation party is January 15th everyone better come. Thats all. I think i have a cold. Fantastic. Time to go run on the treadmill.
I miss my puppy
I dropped off my puppy tonight, because tomorrow i am going to New Jersey. She of course made herself feel at home by peeing on the floor. Hopefully she will not be too much trouble and behave herself the rest of the weekend. When I return from new jersey I am going to sign her up for doggy obedience classes at the coventry school for dogs. It was recommended by my neighbor, who took her dog there. Its sounds kinda snobby. Like for purebred dogs, and my dog will be the one that had to work hard all her life to get out of the ghetto. And she wont fit and and she will be made fun of. But she will overcome all that and be the star of the class. It shoudl be a movie of the week. My house is not the same without her and her resting her head on my knee or trying to sit in my lap....as much as a 60 pound dog will fit in my lap. I am also going to take her to get her nails clipped, probably at the grooming place at petsmart. Angel likes petsmart. Hopefully the creepy guy who followed me aroudn the store the last two times I was there will not be there. Anyway i should probably pack my clothes for the wedding and get to bed. Have a good weekend.
Love, Parker
