It’s the weekend! Oh, right, I’m a nurse. 

I’m prepping myself for the weekend. I’m working 36 hours in 3 days! Yay! NOT!! It will be good though because it’s supposed to rain here so it will keep me busy. However, it IS daylight savings which means an extra hour (so 37 hours) AND a full moon, so basically I’m DOOMED! I’m kidding (sorta)! I’m sure it will be fine. I cooked some tortellini so ill have something to eat without thinking about it. My laundry will be done. So all I have to do is work and sleep and shower and eat. Easy cheese. 

I applied for my California RN license which apparently takes FOREVER! I don’t understand- I can literally practice in any state, but I have to apply individually to each one. It’s all about the state getting income!  Absolutely ridiculous. We all sit for the same NCLEX exam, it should be a national license. That would certainly make this travel thing a whole lot easier. 

I’m thinking San Diego area maybe, LA, who knows. Somewhere hot and sunny. That’s what I’m looking for. My recruiter (who is amazing) is already working on it.

I went out yesterday with a fellow travel nurse who is great! She was going through the same kind of situation as I, so it was so nice to have a women’s perspective on things! She’s really nice and funny and just a good soul to be around. It’s amazing what a little girl time will do to boost your spirits. 
Hopefully the girls I’ve connected with here will turn into friendships and connections for a long time. Maybe our traveling paths will cross again down the road. That would be really neat.  

Well that’s all for today, nothing exciting really- sorry guys, but sometimes that is just real life.
