My last day of class was this past Thursday. It doesn't feel like it though. I keep thinking - hummmm - what do I need to read for next week? What homework is due? - etc.....

Graduation cermonies will be August 11th.

I have accepted a management position in a different hospital. It is still a small hospital on a medical surgical unit. Though, I am not sure how much I'll like it. It will be good experience for now and will help to catch up on some accumulated debt. After being injured as a nurse, it is still difficult to continue on in this profession. I think because the way the economy has been, there isn't much opportunity for me to cross over into the insurance industry or other industries (at least not around here)... So, I will have to settle for something in health care for now. I hope there is not a lot of bedside nursing involved - my back will not tolerate it.....So we will see....

In the meantime, I'll just try to learn as much as possible in this position and try to be optomistic.....Of course enjoy a seafood diner and a little bit of white wine now and then.

Thought I would share a little bit of good news.

Sending pain free vibes.

Take care,
Poncho
