jenna gilfedder, RN :)

Ok, so I am not an RN yet, but the time is approaching to apply for jobs. I have been working as a pretend RN all summer on the Pediatric Oncology floor at KCH and LOVE it. I mean, I wake up in the morning and feel really excited to go to work (and I wake up early). I could not ask to work with more amazing people (right). I feel like I want to be friends with everyone on my unit, and that says a lot.
So, now the issue is getting a job after graduation (in december!). As a December grad, you are supposed to start applying in September and start interviewing in October. This is soon. Right now there is not a job opening on this floor. This is a very sad thing for me. There is, however, an on-call opening. This means I work full time, but get no benefits. Unluckily for me I have a horrible medical history, so no insurance means I pay COBRA until a full time line opens up. Worth it? I REALLY love this job. So I applied. :)
So if you read this, and are a person who prays, maybe pray that someone would quit before December or January.
As far as the SNAP program goes, it is over on Monday :(. I could not have asked for a better summer job. When I started, I did not feel confident in my abilility to be a nurse AT ALL, and I feel like I can hold my own on the floor now. That's a big deal. If you are a nursing student, definitely do it before you graduate.
Another treat is that the nurses on this floor love the Lord! What more could you ask for? I don't think there is anything else.
Sorry about this entire post being about nursing, I know it bores most of my friends. I just feel excited and would really like prayer for a full time job opening. :)
I promise my next post will not be about being a nurse.
