It's Amazing!

I really can't believe it's actually happened but... I am a REAL REGISTERED NURSE! I took my RN NCLEX on Friday June 4, 2010. I got 75 questions of which I was sure I got 2 or 3 correct. I was sure I had bombed the exam. I had to wait 48 hrs to get my results. I have had a few very horrible 48 hr stretches but this I might say was among one of the worst. I was so relieved when I found out I passed that all I could do was cry. I am so glad that's over with. It's so unreal that I am finished with that part of my life.
I have been working full time orienting as an RN on the Infant medical/surgical unit and it has been awesome. At first I was EXTREMELY overwhelmed with the prospect of remembering so many protocols and so much information and providing extraordinary care to my patients. The good thing is, each shift I feel better about being on my own. I work with so many amazing, helpful people and I know I will always be able to use them as resources during my nursing career. I really can honestly say, I love my job! What an amazing time of life!

Visitor and A Coke Party...

This last weekend we had a special visitor at our house. My sister Amy came from Georgia to stay with us for a few days. It was so great to see her because it had been almost a year since we had seen her last. It was also great that she was here for Grandpa's funeral, it was just a coincidence that he passed away the day she got here, and so great that she was able to see him and say her goodbyes. Unfortunately I suck at taking pictures and the only one I have of her is her behind, but it's cute because she is walking with the kids at Dan's little work party last Saturday.

The Safety Committee at Coke put on a "Safety Fair" for the families of their employees. They had a safety theme, with police cars and a fire truck there, they also had the Boots and Bunker clown show that came and put on a little play about safety for the kids. It was really fun for the kids, they had a few of those blow up bounce houses. Of course Peyton loved jumping around in them, Bailey on the other hand was very hesitant at first but after she figured out what was going on we couldn't get her out! They also had a guy dress up as a the Coke Polar Bear, Peyton loved that but Bailey was upset about the whole thing and kept trying to hit the bear, man she's a bully! The food was pretty good too, it was all really fun and especially great because it was ALL FREE!!!
