Let It Snow

Today I rode to Dillon with my dad to check out the hospital down there. It is a small hospital. Only 20 beds. I was just looking for a PRN (as needed) position. They have positions available, but now I need to decide if it is really worth the time to drive an hour to and from work. My hospital does not offer overtime. When I was in Charlotte I would pick up extra hours every once in a while just for a little extra money. Who can't use a little extra money? So now I can apply at this hospital or there are a few clinics in town that I am going to look into to pick up some extra work. Not fully decided one way or the other at this point in time.

After getting back from Dillon my Dad called me to look out the window. Snow was pouring down from the sky. Absolutely gorgeous. We didn't get the christmas lights put up yet, but hopefully we still have a little time.

In other news, I am off orientation and very happy! I work better independantly and if I need help or have a question I will ask. It is too frustrating working with someone constantly looking over your shoulder. There is enough stress with nursing to add something like that to the mix.

Thursday I take an ACLS (advanced care life support) class. It lasts all day and is not exactly easy. Hopefully all will go well.

Rick has a few new job leads. We are going to check one out today. He is still working with the guy from church, they are renovating a house. We both really want to volunteer at the animal shelter but have not gotten around to doing that just yet.

Coal has taken to a few of the empty boxes in the living room. He loves to hide in them and jump out when we least expect him to. He seems to be adjusting quite well to the move. As are we.

Hope all is well with you guys. We are sending lots of love!
