This voice is now stuck in my head as I read the last half of the book. Oh dear.
Can’t fall asleep…again.
Insomnia is getting on my nerves.
First Interview
I have my first interview for a new grad nursing position in 1 week and it’s in coastal GA. I have been inland way too long and would love to get an apartment on one of the islands (not as $$ as you would think!). The closer I get, the more nervous I get. I plan I going down there a day early to get acquainted with the town and to rest up and review my interview stuff.
Crossing my fingers I can get through this and nail down this job!
I’m getting the music and lyrics from Jeff Buckley’s version of Hallelujah tattooed in a back piece. The part I am getting is “the minor fall and the major lift” which has great importance to me. Whenever this tattoo is complete, I’ll get a picture up :)
Random Dreams
I have not been able to get a good night of sleep in a long time. Not sure what it is, because I don’t really have any crazy anxiety or anything. I just stay wide awake and then have crazy realistic dreams that make me feel like I have been up all night. My favorite of these dreams so far has been where a friend and I were invited to a cook-out at Butch Walker’s house. Another dream was something about a run-down house I bought in the town I grew up in, but when I went to the backyard it was a gigantic infinity pool with a lazy river and waterfalls and crazy stuff like that. Just random bizarre dreams.
I do have a history of crazy dreams, to the point where I have an amusement park, a water park, and an aquarium made up in my head. I have dreamt about them multiple times in my life, and I know for a fact they do not really exist because of some of the crazy attractions in them. I’ve always wondered what this meant, and maybe if I knew I would sleep a little better at night.
Venting about my dreams issue makes me wonder what I will wake up to in the morning…
Post-Nursing School and Pre-Job
Well it seems that when you’re not working and you’re not in school anymore, you have a lot of time to explore and get some shit done. The first thing I addressed, NCLEX of course! And….
I PASSED in 75 questions! I’m officially an RN :)
So what do I do now? I applied for jobs and continue to do so, but until I get a nibble I have a lot of free time.
Here’s what I have done in the last 2 months:
-Week long beach vacation
-Water park trip and a rugby tournament
-Camping in Ashville, NC
-Some tattoo removal to lighten up for a cover-up
-Lots of sleep
-Atlanta trips to see my best friends
-Baby shower for my sister and future niece
-And….dreaming of what my future home will be (hopefully on the beach pending my first job interview!)
Some if this is me being a little lazy, but I spent a year in an accelerated program and had no life, so now I am taking a much needed break from stress and getting myself where I need to be.
Once work kicks in, you better believe I will be an amazing and hard-working nurse!
Hope this is true for my NCLEX exam! (Taken with Instagram)
I’m trying to get my mind here and not on NCLEX. (Taken with Instagram)
