It is FINISHED!

Yes..literally finished! My final exam was last night and I'm SOOO glad it's over! It was a bit tricky, but I think I did ok. As long as I passed, I get a B in the class..so let's hope I pass! We are all fretting about how we did and as we speak, "Morgan" is texting "Candace" and I and she's totally freaking! I don't know why because I'm sure she did well, as well as "Candace". My mama prayed for us! LOL! And I prayed too..a lot! The grades should be posted by Thursday (hopefully!) even though for each final, I find myself working at the hospital, fretting and checking the website every 30 minutes..and asking the nurses for Valium. This Friday, I'll be BACK at the hospital and hopefully, I won't have to frett and check..or ask for Valium!

The most exciting news though is.....I GOT THE JOB!!! Yes, the one in Texas!! Your girl will be an ICU nurse in Texas! Howdy, partna! LOL! I am soo excited..and nervous..and anxious! The director called before I even got back to my hotel..and I literally SCREAMED!! He said "I take that as a yes!" Mr. Director, you definitely can!!

But, I'm so nervous! Not even particularly about the job..but about moving!! Right now, I'm trying to secure an apartment and I might end up with one sight-unseen! But, I'm praying about that as well :)

I also cannot wait to finish substitute teaching!! Today isn't so bad -- I'm at a high school and I practically had the morning off. The kids at this school aren't bad at all..but this still involved kids! lol! I also cannot wait until I start working nights and can sleep in! During the internship, I'll be working days but afterwards, I'll be shifted to nights -- even better!

We have standardized testing tonight and our senior dinner dance tomorrow (where we'll harrass the course curriculum coordinator if she doesn't have our final grades posted!) and then a little break before our leadership course. The leadership course is basically a 1 class a week wtih clinicals. If you do clinicals during the day, you had a chance to do one in a specialty, like ER, or ICU. You also do 2 12-hour shifts. However, if you do clinicals at night, you only get med-surg..and it's 3 nights a week! You take a FULL load of patients (5-6) and you really get a chance to see how it will be a legit nurse! I chose to do them in the evening because I get to work too. And even though it's in med-surg and I wanted to do ICU..it doesn't matter now because I'll be an ICU nurse for real! :)

SN: I need a new background for this blog! I've been looking all over and can't find anything. Help anyone? :)
