New job...

The new job is going great! Things work a lot different in Labor and Delivery. There are so many things to remember and do during the labor process. Sometimes I feel like my brain is overflowing with all the information that is being shoved into it, but I am liking it. I will really like it when I am on my own and can do things my own way that still follows what I am supposed to be doing.

Megan and I went ice skating yesterday for a job party. The OBGYNs rented an ice rink for us. We did really well, well Megan did. I fell twice and the second time I really fell. It was one of those falls that hurt my whole body. I am impressed that I am not covered in head to toe bruises because of it. We had a great time!! It is fun to hang out with my sister!

NEW CAR...

I finally received my new car!!!

I have always wanted a Mini Cooper. Then Mini brought the Countryman to the United States and I knew I had to have one. After working for several months and graduating with my BSN, I finally did it. I ordered my care August 6, 2012. Now Mini's are custom cars. They are built in Oxford, England and transported to the Mini dealership. After my car was built it was put on a boat and could track the boat as it crossed the Atlantic Ocean through the Panama canal, and up the Pacific Ocean to a port in California where it was put on a truck and drove to SLC. Now my care was supposed to arrive on October 4; however, it got delayed. Then it was supposed to come the 27, it did not. Finally it arrived the morning of the 29 and John, the dealer, put my care through as numero uno, so I could come pick it up that day. I was able to!

I am so excited! I love it. It has all sorts of buttons, tech savvy, and drives wonderful. I am glad I got my car.

Here is a picture...and I will take more and put more up soon!

P.S It does not look like a clown car! (Heidi)

New job...

I have a new job people. I will be working at Logan Regional Hospital in Labor and Delivery. My start date is November 5th.

I can hardly wait.

Finally after applying all these times and finally got one. Woohoo!

Update...

Sorry I haven't written in a long time, but there isn't much going on in my life currently.

I am still working and I still enjoy it. It seems that I spend most of my time working and chilling in my apartment.

This past weekend though was great. My family and I went to St. George to go to Tuacahn. We saw Aladdin and Hairspray. Both shows were excellent and we had a great time.

I ordered my car on the 6th and it should start production end of this month or early September. I won't get it till November. Sad:( I am excited and I can't wait.

Job...

I started my new job this week! I have actually liked it. The people I work with are fantastic and so nice! The patients in the nursing home are a hoot. Some of them are not quite with the world and others are just fun to talk too. I never realized how many different medications and how much medications people in nursing homes took. I pass a lot of meds every shift.

This one little lady was put to bed around 7pm and at 9pm she came back out all dressed for the day. She thought it was morning already.

Another lady thinks she is the Relief Society President and she wants all the nurses to get together and have thoughts with each other. She also wants to know all about any ones life. She is great and a fun person to talk to.

It appears that this isn't a bad place to work after all; however, people can't seem to believe I am a RN.

YEAH...

I GOT A JOB!!! I work at Franklin County Medical Center. I will work in the transitional care department. This is my first job and I am very excited. However, it is a long drive from my house so I am moving to be close. I have my first apartment. I am excited to start.

Waiting...

I learned the other day that I am still in the running for quite a few jobs that I have applied for! YIPPEE!!! Hopefully my name will continue on and I will get a call.

School is going great. I mostly just right a bunch of papers. My classes this semester are about Leadership and Nursing Research. I think the research class will be interesting.

Nicole's wedding to Gary is coming up...Mom, Megan, and I went and got our bridesmaid dresses...HOLY LAVENDER!!!! They are nice looking dress but we didn't expect them to be that lavender.

P.S sorry my blog is so boring. Once I get a job it might be more fun and I will also have something to blog about.

Searching...

The job search is still going. I have yet to get one or even get an interview. Hopefully things will be looking up soon! Fingers crossed.

Frustrated...

I know I have been posting about the same thing lately...jobs... but that what is going on in me life currently. I still haven't been able to find a job. I don't have the experience the hospitals are looking for, but I am unable to get the experience. I have applied for over a dozen jobs and nothing has panned out. Hopefully something will happen soon.  I can only take so much down time doing nothing.

Another semester has gone by. It wasn't too difficult. Most of the classes were pretty basic. I actually was able to take some fun classes for the first time! I took a beginning swim class and a culinary class. I bet you are asking yourself why did Kimberly take a beginning swim class. Well dear folks, I could not get into the advanced swim classes without getting beginning and intermediate waved and I had know idea who the teachers were for that class (they weren't listed), so I decided to take the beginning. On the very first day I told the teacher I could swim and that I was a WSI. She then asked me to be her TA. I became the TA and taught the class along side with her. The thing that blew my mind was how much faster adults learned to swim than children! It was amazing! The culinary class was great. I enjoyed the lab portion a lot more than the lecture portion but I had to take both. I kind of knew a little bit because of Megan (go sister!). I know I still have a lot to learn but cooking is fun! I can't wait to make some stuff for my family2

A new semester starts next week, so I have to go up to school for  mtg and then the writing papers begins. Basically I will be a writing machine for the next 3.5 months! Great... I strongly dislike writing papers. Not my forte!!! These two classes are my last. I graduate in July for the last time (unless I go to NP school, still haven't made up my mind about that).

The job search continues...wish me luck!!!

Rejected...

It would appear that I do not have enough experience to get any of the jobs I want. I am starting to think that I may have to move outside Utah and Idaho to get one. Perhaps I shall move back east, I could find one there! I have applied for over a dozen jobs and all I get are rejections emails from their computer systems. I am feeling a little down at the moment. Hopefully, something will happen soon!

My little brother leaves very soon for two whole years! I am sad and happy because he will be gone but he is doing a wonderful thing. Go little brother!!!

School is almost over for the semester. I have only a couple of things to do left for all my classes then I am home free for about a week and then it starts all over again. I only have 8 credits next semester which is only two classes. I am just taking the ones I need to graduate in JULY! That is right people I will have my Bachelor's in Nursing in JULY!!! WOOT WOOT!

Job...

The job search isn't going so well. I have applied for several jobs and nothing has come of it. It seems that I do not have enough experience in the field. Well, that would be true, but no one is giving me the opportunity to get experience. SO FRUSTRATING!!!

Job....

Here goes the job search!

I started to apply for jobs and the first three I applied for I did not get. I do not have enough experience according to all the emails I receive. How I am supposed to get experience if no hospital will let me. I am getting really frustrated! Mom called me and told me to look on Craigslist for other jobs, so I applied for a couple of those and hopefully I will get a call.

Here's wishing!!!
