The Dentist Visit

We visited the dentist today. Took Jack to see my old dentist this time. Dr. Smith, how simple does he sound. The highlight was no cavities for both of us. What we learned, besides needing to floss regularly, was that Dr. Smith uses flavored gloves. Saw his stock of grape or bubble gum.

Doesn't Jack look hot with his dentist bib on...

Oh, and Jack looks really tall because the seat is really low. Dr. Smith is a cool short dentist that wont do any extra work that isn't needed. He keeps it real!

Job

I had an interview this afternoon at Riverside Community Hospital. It went so good that I left with a new job. I don't start until next month which is perfect. So excited and couldn't believe it was so easy! I will be working unit South 3, Telemetry. Have a few classes and certifications to get and I get payed to take the classes. Another good thing is someone I have worked with at my previous job just started on the same unit this month. Can't wait to start!

I PASSED!!!

So I got a phone call at 0520 this morning from my friend Catina. She was in the RN program with me and a great support. She called just to let me know that she looked online this morning to find that I had my license. I did it. All done. Officially a RN now. Just need a job and I wont give up.

Update!

So I took my state board test yesterday. I think it went good. The test is 75-265 questions and stops when you have proved you are competent or not. I only took 75 questions. So I either did really good or I bombed it. Should hopefully know the results this week.
Other good news is Jack has a few interviews this week. Hopefully he gets a job soon. It has been a real struggle.
I even have an interview this thursday. Hopefully I get the job because all the other positions I have applied for have been a no go.

What is even beter is...

...an evening by a warm fire after a rainy day in PJs and sock monkey slippers!

Sock Monkey Slippers and PJs

I love my PJs and sock monkey slippers. They are so comfortable and cozy. I think everyone should own a pair...

Pictures from My Mad Hatter New Years Eve Graduation Party!

What's been going on?

We spent Christmas Eve at Grandma's house. Same traditions and fun....







My mom had this blanket made for Grandma. It is the family picture we all took last May as a family. It turned out really nice.









Kevin and Jack finished up taking apart the spa. Messy, hard labor was good for them. Now the patio looks so empty...

Update

So my IP "Interim Permit" was posted on the State Board of Nursing website which means I can start orientation as a RN now. I have payed for my test and just waiting to hear from the testing center as to when I can pick the date and time. So excited! Found out that a couple people in the class already have their test dates set. It is almost done. Party plans are going good. Still don't know how many people will be coming but that is ok. I made all the plans knowing I wanted to have a blast no matter who was able to make it with all the holidays and stuff. Anyways. Off to another long day at work.
