Long Time, No Blog

Wow....how long has it been since I blogged? I'm such a bad blogger these days aren't I? My excuse? I've been sleeping. That is all I do now that I work nights...sleep and when I'm not sleeping, I'm dreaming about sleeping. Working 3 nights for 13 hours, yes 13, will wear your body down, so I decided to go part-time and will only be working 2 nights a week soon and cannot wait. Can I also mention how nice it is to be a real professional and get a real paycheck? I'm loving that part of it. It's nice to make good money and really earn it.

My job is hard. I'm on a general surgery floor. General meaning most of the surgeries are GI...lots of colon resections, fem-pops, cholectomys, appendectomies etc. Mostly older people. I have used every skill that I have ever learned and love that aspect of it. It's very stressful and I'm not sure I'm cut out for the floor, it's definately not my passion, but once I put my time in...a year, I will look for another floor. One where I'm not so stressed at the end of the day.

Just wanted to throw out a quick update to let you all know I'm still alive. Let me know how school is going ok?

Promise to clog again very soon with something much more interesting....
