Howdy. :-) So I'm now in 3 days a week, 12 hr day clinicals. I have one online course I'm taking ("Professional Role) and lots of papers and paperwork with Clinicals. I'm SO like...really? on the paperwork with clinical. But whatever. I graduate in approx a month and a half. Double yay!
I'm applying for jobs too. And for the life of me, I applied to a Pediatric Oncology position at a major children's research hospital. I don't know why. I have never felt like Peds was for me, but when I saw the job, I just thought I had to apply. I have pediatrics this week in clinical (well, 1 day PACU and 2 days Peds) so maybe that will add some clarity to the whole thing.
That hospital is 1 hour away from home. I guess I can commute. My niece lives 35 minutes beyond the hospital. Who knows, maybe she'll allow me to rent a room 2 nights a week? The husb better get ready to take care of the fur-babies, then, huh? ;-)
Hmm, what else...? I got an 'A' in both of those horrific online classes I took in May. WhewThankGod.
Went to our State Board of Nursing to see a hearing last week. Also required for our program. Kind like the show, "Scared Straight." Keeping the new nurses on the straight and narrow, lol.
Well, the only woman who showed up was in contempt of her SECOND probation. And they did not revoke her license. They listened to her, gave her stricter criteria, and extended her probation.
Really? You can keep your license after failing a drug test during your probation? This lady actually had extenuating circumstances. She is prescribed an amphetamine for her fatigue due to MS, but she did test positive for alcohol, which she explained was Nyquil. *shaking my head. I dunno. That is a hard call to make.
Two other people were 'tried,' but they didn't bother to show up. So they were suspended. AGAIN, not revocation, but suspension. I just don't get it.
So some of our class asked at the end, when we were allowed to talk to the board. They pretty much just said that revocation is FOREVER and so they are extremely reluctant to revoke. Wow.
In other news, I'm doing the Dukan diet. Down 2.6 in 2 days - Yay for me!
