New Beginnings

(Story behind this picture: I Googled "new nurse" to see what kind of pictures I could find for a new look for this blog. Low and behold, this was the first picture that popped up. It couldn't be any funnier if I tried, so I hope you giggle as much as I did when I first saw it.)

Before I left on vacation, I told you there would be exciting things ahead for this blog. (I hope you define exciting as “new look” because that’s about it…I digress.)

One of the things that was drilled into us during nursing school was that our first year on the job would prove just as valuable a learning experience as our years in school. As such, how could I not continue to blog about my adventure? So, that’s the exciting news…I plan to keep blogging at the same address, but with a new title through my first year of nursing school.

It’s my hope that you will continue to enjoy reading this as much as I enjoy relating my experiences to you.

Up first? My very first visit to occupational health at the hospital I will be working at. I’m excited people.

Coming in the near future? What is it like to work nights and switch back and forth? Not being a morning person, I’m sure this will be “exciting.” (I’m hoping that staying awake will cause the abject pain I feel at 5 in the middle of the night 30 to not be there.)

That, and I’m sure other topics I find funny will be in the future. Thanks for reading, and I hope you still continue to do so.
