Miss Proletarian

im a working woman.


I was kidding myself when I thought sitting in the sun and whistling at hot swimmers all day was a job.
What I have discovered in the last week is that the working world ( the real one) is cruel.


I am so grateful to have a job and to be doing something that I enjoy and making great $ doing it
double that.. cause  I now have 2 jobs.
I PASSED MY BOARDS!!!!! NCLEX = my B!T@#$*
( 3 hours and 85 grueling questions later & I am a Licensed Nurse)

Jobs
     -Terrace Grove Assisted Living and Physical Rehab Center - NOC Nurse
     - Avalon Hills Eating Disorder Rehab Center - Nurse

  after completing a 12 hour shift I have more complaints running through my head than the Jews of the holocoust did. My feet hurt, my bad hurts, I'm hungry and Im TIRED. Working NOC shift is called "Graves" for a reason- it just about kills me. But I finish and I come out feeling like an olympic medalist.


Do you think something is wrong with me if I get ego boosted from 80 year old men?
yeah... probably

I have been told that I am a "lovely lady" more this week than I can ever remember in my life.
It is the sweetest compliment, I wish it was more frequently used today. What a beautiful thing to say.
Do work ladies.

nurses shmurses

 I realize I haven't checked in for a while and have some explaining to do. So take this for what is worth.
I'm in nursing school.
thus, I don't really have a life outside scholastic responsibility.
cool.
I am not really sure what I was thinking when I chose this carreer path. If i were to make list of things I love it would consist of, fashion, outdoors, spending time with friends and family. I realize at least for the time being none of those intrests are even remotely being stimulated. I thought I could spice up my uniform but alas i am trapped in the most homely little scrub wearing world for the rest of my working life with no hope. In addition to that to say that my program is highly time entensive would be an unjust understatement. So I am not only stuck inside for the  majority of the day the study time combined with that take nearly every free "kickin', chillin', and hangin' " second I have. PLEASE NOTE I SAID "NEARLY"- meaning, if  you want to we can still hang out, i'd love to actually.
All childish complaining aside, I am learning alot and for the most part I enjoy what I am learning. So that is good. Also once  I am done, 2 of my 3 previously listed intrests will be able to be more easliy met, as for those outfits I will do my best to not become a homely mindless mess.  I still love my roommates and get to see my family alot more now that I am just a beautifully scenic 30 minute drive away.  I'm a pretty happy girl.
