Wow it has been a while since I have blogged. Not sure if this is going to be a long blog or not, but either way I am blogging. This past week I have been in orientation for my new job at a hospital. I am going to be a Nursing Assistant. It isn't an RN or LPN, but it is a start in health care. I was trying to figure out what made me want to be in healthcare. You could have asked anyone before and most likely they would tell you that I wouldn't have done it. None of this came clear to me until Thursday when I was at the hospital with my Aunt Judy (the same hospital that I am going to be working for). She was getting a simple procedure done. It was then that I realized that SHE is the reason I wanted to go into the medical field. I cannot remember a time when she was in the hospital, that I wasn't there for her. I always read her the vital signs, and made it seem like I knew what I was talking about. Funny right?
I am not exactly sure when I am going to start training, but I am more than ready. I am also really nervous. Like really nervous. I don't even think it is the fact that I am nervous to start, but nervous as in not being able to succeed. I am sure everything will be fine. I keep telling myself that. I am just glad that for a month I will be in training. So its not like I am going to be thrown in there and be expected to be a pro nurse aid. Cause I don't think that is possible.
I also have decided that I have no clue where I want to go to college after ASU Beebe. I do want to go to UF, but I am also considering some other schools. Like University of Nevada: Las Vegas. Don't ask me why, but my friend brought it up. It has been in my mind ever since. I also wouldn't be alone. I have a whole family to support me up there. I have just been getting the urge to move West for a while now. I have also been considering schools from up north. Massachusetts, Washington...etc. My mind and heart belongs everywhere. I might just find a bunch of schools and put them on my wall. Eliminate them until I find the perfect school for me and my future as a Pre Med student. I'm not looking just for the perfect home, but a place that will benefit me for my future. I have decided to take this year as a time of reflection. I need to look at my life and see where I need to be. ME. Not anyone else. I am going to take this year to focus on a few of the following.
1. Where I want to go to school
2. Making sure the medical field is for me
3. Save up money, instead of spending it (more of a goal than a reflection LOL)
4. ASU Beebe -need to focus on my studies now.
That is pretty much all I can think of for now. I am sure there is more. All I know is that the times ahead are going to be exceptionally challenging. I am about to take on a full time job and be a full time student. I plan on working at night time and then going to school during the day. Hopefully I don't crash and burn. That wouldn't be good on either part. I will keep everyone posted about it. :) I will try to blog again soon.
