crack the shutters

well. it is time to rejoin the world of daytime.

i thought i would chronicle my last three days nights for you all. i have to make these things count, right? i feel like i am wasting away  my life by sleeping all day!

random things:

1. last night there was a little girl (couldn't have been over 2) running around the hallway hugging everyone. precious. i was in the nurses station getting report and felt someone hugging my legs. it was her. never met before. too cute. there was also a precious moment of three little girls who met and hugged in the hallway. oh kids are too adorable!

2. i appreciate SO MUCH when families care about their children. i know this should be a given, but sometimes you don't see it. i had a mom tonight who was concerned about her ability to learn all she needed to, and her desire to succeed was way more than we sometimes even see. it's refreshing.

3. my body is really confused. i woke up at 2 today so i could sleep tonight and its weird. i have genuinely felt like the past couple nights have been daytime. i made a comment to holly how i was going to come straight to bible study tonight from work, and she said, "no..". oh man.

4. i officially finished my 120 hours on tuesday and get to take the "A" off of my "RNA" :) now its official. i have a license # and everything :) its funny, but last night was my first shift as an official RN, and i felt like i acted like it. not that i didn't before, but last night i felt really confident talking to the doctor about my patient and what was going on. before i kind of defaulted to my preceptors. treat.

5. the Lord's really is sufficient.

6. i really do enjoy the night shift. not the messing with my sleep side of things. no, not that. i do enjoy the pace and the people. i can say that. :) i'm sure i'll be working a few of them here and there.

well, blogland, it is time for me to see the sunlight! i'm super pumped. i'm taking the blankets down from my windows! world, here i come!

happy birthday brother! you're old today!
