Third Time's the Charm


I hope everyone had a great weekend and a good monday! It was a beautiful weekend filled with lots of sunshine! However, today in Ohio the weather has been rainy,cold and dreary! YUCK! Where did my sunshine go?


I'm so excited I got my first nursing job today! I feel like a big girl now! lol. It was totally unexpected! This place that I did some of my clinical rotations and my preceptorship was hiring nurses immediately and it said to come and drop off your resume in person. So I go in there (not expecting an interview or anything) and try to drop off my resume (mind you I'm in my hoodie and jeans with my hair pulled back and no makeup on) and they are conducting interviews right then and there! I was so embarrassed! I told the secretary is there any way I can come back when I'm dressed professionally and she said just stay and the director will interview you. At first I almost walked out and then something told me (my ing!) to just stay, what did I have to lose? So I waited for about 45 minutes and the people that were ahead of me were coming out pretty fast of their interview. So I didnt really know what was going on. Then the DON called me back in to his office and he was very direct and straightforward! He kinda scared me at first lol. I told him a little bit about myself and I told him I was a new grad. He automatically said to me, "I like you, you have spunk. You are just what I'm looking for!". I was shocked! So he went in to all the details of the job and said I would start off on a PRN basis (as needed) until I get trained and then bump me up to full time day shift working 3 12 hour shifts days!! How cool is that?! He told me, "Welcome aboard". I couldnt stop smiling. This was my 3rd interview I have been on since I graduated and got my license and I guess 3rd times a charm! I'm glad I didnt walk out and doubt myself and that I listened to my "Ing!".


As I was running on the treadmill this morning I had my ipod on shuffle and man did I have some awesome positive upbeat songs come on! I'm a music junky!!! I decided to make a positive perception playlist for my ipod. So if you are looking for some positive upbeat or just even fun songs to listen to when you are running here are a few that I came up with that were on my ipod:

U2 - Where the streets have no name (I dont know why but I love running to this song!)

INXS- Good times (totally busting out the 80s music!)

Moby- We are all made of stars

New Radicals - You get what you give

REM- Its the end of the world as we know it

Talking Heads- Once in a lifetime

Tears for Fears- Everybody wants to rule the world

Billy Joel - We didnt start the fire

Journey- Dont stop believing

Billy Squier- Everybody Wants You

*as you can see I like alot of 80s music!* lol


I just bought Sera Beak's "The Red Book" today. I'm so pumped to start reading it! I hear its really good! Ever since I have been done with school and done with studying for my boards all I have been really doing is reading! I have become a book junkie as well! lol. My bookshelf is overflowed with books. I love it!


Alrighty well I'm gonna go do my forgiving meditation and sleeping meditation and do some writing and then I'm gonna call it an early night. I hope all of you have a wonderful night and sweet dreams to all of you! xoxo
