This is my first post on my new blog which will hopefully be kept updated for years to come. I used to be a faithful blogger ever since my teen years on different bloggers and before that, ever since I was a young girl I kept a diary. I loved documenting my day-to-day life and reading back on it later and remembering exactly what I did and how I felt on such day. My life now is more exciting than ever and all of this excitement and busyness has left me neglecting to journal any of it. :( So I've decided to recommit myself to online blogging and sharing my life with the public. :) I hope this blog serves as an honest and open account of my life where growth in all areas will become evident.
So I just placed an order on Amazon.com for my Littmann Classic II S.E. Stethoscope in Raspberry! I am so excited to receive it in the mail! Littmann is the best of the best when it comes to stethoscopes and the Classic II S.E. series is supposedly the best for general medical use. And I ordered it in Raspberry (pink), well, because I just love the color pink. :) Throughout nursing school I used a stethoscope my mom gave me that was hers years ago. It worked fine but after borrowing another nurse's Littmann and hearing the higher sound quality that came from it, I knew one day I just had to have one.
I'm buying this now since I start my new job at Maricopa Medical Center on Monday! I got hired along with about 60 other new nurses for this new grad program. This program goes until March and then after that they will hire about 30 of us for full-time staff. I will be about 7-8 months pregnant by then, so I'm not expecting to be hired, but either way I'll be okay. Jim and I will be expecting our first baby by then and God hasn't failed me yet. ;) I have my orientation this Monday and Tuesday and will be working on the med/surg and oncology floor. I cannot wait. Med/surg is exactly where I need to be as a new grad nurse.
I know I will learn a ton at Maricopa Medical Center, especially since it is a teaching hospital. I am so thankful for this opportunity and it made working in a prison for the last 6 months totally worth it. If you didn't know, I'm currently a nurse at Lewis Prison. It's an all male correctional facility in Buckeye, AZ. Haha never thought I'd EVER be working or let alone step foot in a prison, but funny how God uses any situation to use and grow you. I'll actually still be working there part-time since my new job will also only be part-time to begin with. Once I transition into full-time at the hospital (after our couple months of training), I will be working PRN (medical term meaning 'as needed') at the prison. I work there through my nursing registry CNS, and even though I definitely don't plan to be there forever, while I am starting this new job, it'll be nice to come back to a place that I know the routine.
