Sorry for the lack of posts, it seems I’m not really into this “blogging-state" lately! I'm so caught up in finding a job, which path to take, asking for recommendation letters, resumes, cover letters, training, which state to relocate and license endorsements. Uggghh...
I'm so excited to start my adventure to becoming a Registered Nurse and a CRNA in the not-so-near future, I will try to blog more if in the mood, and document my new career as an RN. It’s been a long and torturous journey but I’m finally here. I’ll explain a little more on how I got here. So bear with me.
Getting to the catch-up/news part:
I received this in the mail not so long ago:

| Finally!!! |
And for the first update of the year 2012, yes, that means its now official. I'm a registered nurse in California and the greatest part of is goodbye studying and hello job hunting. How I passed my NCLEX-RN would be in a different Blog, so to all the nurses wanting to seek advice about defeating NCLEX-RN stand by for that blog. LOL
I’ve been waiting and dreaming of becoming a nurse since I was born LOL, and now the dream is almost a reality, except, no one wants to hire new grads!!! Here is to recession...

My routine for 1 month now since I got my license (In no particular order):
1. Get up in the morning or afternoon, try to figure out what to do first (search for a Job or study for next week training or endorse license or fix room or eat or whatever)
2. Go to Job-Search Engine and pass a number of resume to a number of employers.
3. Go to FB, Twitter, Tumblr and check mail for some replies from some employers.
4. Study for BLS and ACLS Training.
5. Watch Walang Hanggan Teleserye at 5pm. LOL
and so far, no luck yet. I'm so ready to wear my scrubs, take care of patients, night shifts, learn things and get my paycheck. LOL JK but seriously I'm lost right now as to what to do, I want to be hired ASAP!!!!
Right now, I'm just so glad I found this program and I'm looking right into it and completing requirements for the refresher/re-entry program. Its free for international nurses like me and they give you job placement assistance afterwards. It has been my dream to work in the Bay area, so If I would be accepted to attend this program, I will be relocating in SF.
It’s almost surreal, of course, not forgetting the: Hard work, Responsibility, and Devotion that will be needed for the next few months if I want to cope and achieve the first, of many of my LIFE goals. Tomorrow I start my BLS course. I’m super excited, and slightly nervous. Next is ACLS I'm so ready for you Mega Code! Wish me luck!!
Well, I think that's it for now!! Ta-tah!!
Smooches,
