Work Life

I have been working at the VA for a month now and things are going great. I really love the unit I am on, which is a surgical/telemetry unit. Everyone is so nice and helpful which makes all the difference. It is a full time job and has been quite exhausting. The past few weeks I have been on day shifts, but next week I will start on evenings. Because I won't get out until midnight, we needed to get a car so that I can get home safely. So, on Saturday we went car shopping with our friends Angel and Dan, and we got a 2011 Subaru Legacy. It has all wheel drive which was what made us so interested. We wanted a sedan with AWD, but they are hard to find (especially ones within our budget). Brian picked the car up on Monday while I was at work and it was such a great feeling to drive it to work on Tuesday! I am able to sleep in an extra 1.5 hrs and get home 1.5 hrs earlier - I was taking 3 different buses to/from work! So, the car is going to make working much easier, especially with my 4 jobs.

Last weekend I was off from the VA so I worked at Whidden to start my evening shift orientation. Therefore, tomorrow will be my 11th day of work in a row!!! That's insane in my book. (Although, I think I did 12 in a row a couple months ago). I really like having the variety of nursing experiences among my 4 jobs and I am trying to keep them all for the time being. Soooo thankful for these opportunities!!
