it's been a while...

A lot has happened since the last time I documented on this blog!

College is officially over.  Graduation is behind me.  And boards are still looming ahead of me.

I started my new job at Carle!  I've gotten a lot of questions about what I am doing.  Right now since I am not an official licensed RN, I cannot orientate as a nurse, so I am orientating as a Healthcare tech (with some extra privileges) until I take my boards and my license is posted on the IL website.  So even though I'm not really working as a nurse yet, I am still really enjoying my job.  I love that I get to work as a HCT starting off because it breaks me in slow and it will help me to respect the HCTs more when I am a nurse - they work hard!

Hopefully I will be able to start orientating as a nurse by August, that way I'll have about 4 or so months of orientation before December comes and along with it another new journey!

We just never know what God has in store for us! :)

And because I kept telling myself I was going to do a graduation post...but never did...here are some pictures from my Pinning.

I wore my mom's dress from when she graduated from LPN school! :) And so thankful for this girl who went through it all with me!  Couldn't have done it without her!

And we couldn't have done it with out these guys either! ;)

These lovely ladies had a delicious meal prepared for us after the ceremony.  Thanks so much!
