Almost Done!

     Next Monday will be my last English 112 class and this Wednesday is my last Psychology class. This semester flew by even though I only took 2 classes on 2 separate days each week. There are only 28 days left until I start the lecture part of the nurse aide program! I'm so excited. It's all I keep thinking and talking about. I hope I make good grades this semester. I tried my hardest to do so. I've already finished all of the remaining assignments for each class. I'm ready for it to end.
     I keep making a mental list in my head of things I still need to get and things to do for the nurse aide program. I want to get my TB test done and out of the way. Same with the background check. I will pick up the books needed for the lecture part when I turn in my rented English textbook. I think it is really weird how I like community college so much. I'm not saying I jump for joy when I know I have class, but I do smile when I say "I have class tonight." I think most of it is just knowing I'm one step closer to finally becoming a RN.
     Along with the semester coming to an end, my boyfriend finally got a job! It took long enough. The other jobs he had wouldn't work out due to transportation issues. This job at Papa Johns is closer to his house so he will have NO EXCUSES. I'm also finally going to be able to drop my car off and have work done on it. I have an entire list of things. The main one being that the passenger window quit working compelled. The auto shop also found out Saturday that I have a seal above my motor leaking oil, so that will be fixed too. When I drop it off tomorrow, I'm just going to say whatever needs fixing, fix it.

My Duties As A SAHG (Stay At Home Girlfriend)

      Back in June of this year I left one of the most toxic places I have ever worked at. There were so many things going on that I will just leave it at that. If you would like more details, check out my YouTube channel  here.  I thought it would be a good time to give nursing a break and take a different career path. I applied at an auto insurance company and started about 4 weeks ago but ended up leaving. Sitting all ay, wearing a headset, and having more than 2 meetings to attend per day is not my cup of tea. I gave a two week notice and have been a stay at home girlfriend since. In the last two weeks I've sent out over 20 applications. One place called me for an interview and they never followed up after I met. An animal shelter offered me a position as well but unfortunately, $11 per hour will not pay my mortgage.  My boyfriend works very hard. He is a bodyman at an auto shop and he repairs some of the most wrecked cars I've ever seen. IT is only fair to him that I make

Triage Nurse Duties

     This is the end of my second week in my new Triage role. At the end of the day, nursing is nursing but you still learn new things every day. Each day I clock in and check the messages, refill requests, prior authorization forms, and voicemails from patients. Throughout the day patients will call in and each call varies. Some patients are calling because they are in labor, have a UTI, yeast infection or BV. Other calls coming in are for pap results, genetic testing, ultrasounds, and biopsies. Everything I do from my desk is what I used to do on the floor. I assess patient symptoms over the phone and decide whether they need to try over the counter treatment, come in for an appointment, go to an Urgent Care, or head to to the emergency room.       At first when I accepted this position, I didn't know how it would play out. I'm used to running around doing multiple things at one time and always being busy. Surprisingly this is amazing. I'm not running ragged on the floor

Step Away From the Cake

     It is so annoying that I work in a doctors office that continues to bring in cakes, sugary drinks, and junk food. Today and yesterday I have had two non scale victories. This morning the first thing out of the receptionist' mouth was "there is bundt cake in the break room". Dude it is not even 9 a.m. Yesterday the doctor I worked for brought bake slices of pie and cake from the hospital cafeteria and I kindly said no thank you and walked away. It frustrates me because every one who works in this office with me knows I have an eating problem and they know I joined Weight Watchers. I am so proud of myself for looking at that cake this morning and walking away when I easily could have eaten half of it. I felt pissed off when I walked in the break room and saw it. Yes, everything in moderation is ok, but not for someone who is already way over weight and trying to get their shit together. I will be okay. I will get through this. I can do this.
