Indecisions

I have been officially offered a job where I work. Not in the ICU like I had hoped, mostly because there aren't any open positions in there at the moment. The job is on the medical/telemetry floor, full time nights. My indecision comes from a potential desire to work somewhere else. I am just not sure if I am making the right decision, although it is possible that I am. At the other hospital where we do our clinicals, there are openings in the ICU, and I really enjoyed my experience in that unit as well as the way that hospital handles things a bit differently. I wonder do all students go through the same indecision as I am about where to work when they are finished, or do they know exactly where they want to work and there is really no other option for them.

We have 5 weeks left of school. 5 long weeks. But only 2 more weeks of clincal left :) I am so excited to be thisclose to being finished. Although the next 5 weeks is going to be full of tests, ATI tests mostly. I think we have at least 7 of them to take. I have mailed my application for licensure to the board of nursing and paid my nclex examination fee. Now just waiting for classes to be done, transcripts to be sent, and receiving my att so that I can schedule my exam. My nerves are shot... shot to hell. I have to finish writing up my part of this huge community assessment that we have had to do this semester (hate all aspects of this project, btw). Have to finish my portfolio for leadership, and study, study, study. In the meanwhile, my oldest son is on the JV baseball team at school, youth league baseball has started and I am only one person able to be in one place at one time. I can't feel more pulled in different directions than I do right now. Will it ever end? I know it will, but what will I do when it does?

I am sure that I will want to catch up on a couple years of lost sleep lol.

We are the Champions!

All-Star basketball tournament was today for the 11-12 year old league. And our team came out victorious! Wooooot!! Nothing like some good old competitive basketball. Some of the kids took some hardknocks on our team (including my own son!) But we fought hard and was undefeated in the tourney. I am so proud of our team for keeping their heads up, hearts strong, and finishing out a great season. Congrats!

Now that basketball is over, it won't be long until baseball starts full blast. Team drafts are next weekend and practices will start soon after that. My oldest son, who is in the 8th grade, made the high school JV baseball team and their games start next week too. I tell you, it will take some time management skills to be able to balance all of this running around, seriously. Good thing I am learning a lot of that here in my last semester of school. Truthfully, I can't wait for baseball to start. I love baseball. And I love the Cardinals... here is hoping for another championship season for my Redbirds :)
