ITs 2:37 on a saturday, possibly my second to last in cleveland for a while as i have made the decision to accept the job in frankfort, KY and will be reporting for my first day of orientation on sept 14th. I cannot believe this!!! Im so excited and ready to start my nursing career on a ICU step down floor...after i am completely on my own and doing well i will be cross trained for the ICU as well since these 2 floors work together. This hospital is amazing! it is run entirely by nurses and it is completely dedicated to enforcing nurses to go back to school, become accrediated and specialists and gives tuition reimbursement as well as grade incentives and it has a clinical ladder program that gives you a large large bonus based on your involvement in the hospital, education, and research adn many other thinga available to you in the community and hopsital. there is a nursing banquet once a year that awards nurses for there hard work, offering awards and scholarships from physicians and nurses and hospital boards. Every person i ahve met at this hospital seems to have the exact same personality as me. I coulnt be more excited! I will be working nights after my orientation which is days. The orientation process can last anywhere from 8 - 12 weeks and it is completely up to my comfort on when it is over, Once a week i will have meetings with the manager, my preceptor and the nurse educator of my floor to go over my stengths, weaknesses adn growth and map out my progess and once i am ready i will be moved to nights. these floors emphasize teamwork so i will never ever be on my own or feel lost! everyone works together and it seems like everyone loves to work here. I am so happy that i am blessed enough to be in such a working environment. It will be so strange to be away from home. I can tell my family is less than thrilled with this and nto ready to let me go,. But its a nursing schedule where i will be wokring 3 12's a week which leaves me plenty of opportunites to come home, and i plan on doing so once a month! im a family girl, i could never leave for long. and i will be able to come home a lot more that i did in college which really was a rare occurance! Im so ready to begin this chapter of my life although i am scared to death adn will probably want to come home eveyr day until i am aquianted with it.
marks grandma told me i should keep a journal of my changes as they come adn how different it will be for me, city girl moving to the country...well sort of! i plan on getting an apartment in lexington which is a bigger city! but the country is near! i happened to go with marks mom and grandma to the farm and i worked in the garden with them as they showed me how to pick beans and squash and tomatoes...they are also growing watermelons and pumpkins which are sooooo big its unbelievable!
Well now i am off to church with nana and mom. Im a little scared to see nana because i know she has to be upset that i am leaving, and i think she thinks its a personal attack that i am leaving "her". I cant help feel like everyone things i am dying the way they are treating me ..."one last time" seems to be a constant phrase these days...but i know once things get into a pattern it will feel normal and it will be like it always was.....there are a lot of mixed emotions going on but i know Gods will is prevailing as i have prayed and prayed it will. I feel like this is the right thing to do . hopefully everyone can see that too. I will shine.

Interview 1 : At the nursing home I was interviewed by the new DON ...well new since i was there, not the same one that was hired on at the end of my summer job. Almost everyone that i had worked with that i liked had been "let go" or fired. It was odd. the DON told me she jsut got her BSN a year ago, which was odd. I jsut dont think it was the place for me, she told me they didnt have a position available at the moment but she saw one being available in a month and to call when i pass boards. so there is a job there for me, but do i really want to work somewhere where people are constantly being let go? Betty seemed really excited about it. as did shirley...Shirley has been very sick lately, she cried when she saw me, she is thin as a rail and hasnt been eating. It makes me so sad to see her. i hope she is okay! i just think she is the sweetest thing in the world. i think she was happy to see me! i need to get back and see her again because something tells me time is limited.
interview 2: I had an interview in KY at a hospital that Mark's sister works at. My interview went well. I met with the HR recruiter and he was so much fun. It really felt like i was meeting with friends, totally down to earth, i didnt feel like it was an uptight scary thing. I was totally at ease. However, the hospital / state was in the middle of a disaster drill so Brandon, the recruiter couldnt interview me fully. So he had his partner in HR finish the interview. I luckily was still able to meet with the Nurse manager of the Labor/ Delivery floor and she was really nice. Everyone seemed really impressed withmy resume which ihad been doubting lately was good enough or too long. But they all said it was impressive so that eased my doubts. She said seh really liked me and wanted to hire me on but they only had 2 openings in the night shift which was already really young. She said shed be meeting with her managers and try and see if theyd let her. Well that interview ended up lasting 2 hours much to the dismay of my bf who was waiting the car at my pleading. I didnt know it would be so long but he got a nap in. Lucky, We had both been up all night with his son who was teething and in pain. So Im lucky this interview went well when my brain wasnt functioning so well.
I heard back frm brandon and they werent allowed to hire me on to the Labor and delivery floor, but brandon is sending my resume to other floors...they seemed really impressed with me and i really loved this hospital, I really felt like id fit in there!
I had a call from a hospital in cincinnati out of no where which was awesome! Its for a brand new hospital that just opened up last may! its a med surg job which isnt what i really want to do but thats okay because itll give me experience and then i can switch into whatever i would like. I pulled some answers out of my butt because iwas totally caught off guard with the phone interview. The nurse recruiter is out of town until next wed. so they are going to call me back next week to schedule an interview!
Finally all these doors are opening up to me! and im getting my new car later today! its about time! I just hope i land a job in the best possible place that i need to be. Im still trying to get into a cleveland interview as well, i contacted the secretary at my cousins office and she is going to call me back, hopefully she will know of something. I keep trying to get into cleveland clinic or something around here but its been difficult. it hink the cleveland market is still tight so we shall see!
i wholeheartedly believe God will place me where I need to be! just looking forward to where that might be!
As far as my authorization to test, im waiting for that. i just got my name up on the site as registered to test so any day now i should get my att in the email or mail! Im so ready to get that behind me and sign my name Molly Imler rn, Bsn!!!
well this weekend is the feast and the berea fair, so im looking forward to attending both. Ive been sick all week! its been terrible, i just started some antibiotics and they are killing my stomach causing intense nausea which isnt fun at all. But im starting to feel better regardless of this little irritant!
Mark started his full time job this week, hes really turning into an adult and im sooo proud of him! he may be getting a new(used)car on monday and hes really excited about it. Ive been spending a lot of time down there, hopping around. I went with his mother to the 127 yard sale which runs from alabama to ohio..it was pretty amazing, definitely some buys! I missed my great grandma Mom Imler...so many of the things were things that she had or would of had! like the old fashioned egg beater with the handle that you turn...but it was fun! Mark and i helped his neighbor set up there sale since their neighborhood is right off of 127. he ended up getting many good steals! he still wants me to move in with him which id consider if i move down there but i dont know exactly if thats what i want jsut yet. i mean i love him and when imn there i practically am living with him, but i still think id like to know what its like to live on my own...and i always thought id want to get married first before ilive with a guy but i really love mark ...so well see! i dont really need to worry about this until i have a job which is what i keep telling him. one day at a time!

car shopping is stressful
dad makes it even more so because so many factors have to align just perfectly to make him happy.
Today we test drove an 07 kia spectra at a local used car lot. I loved it. It has a few stains on the seats, some dirtyness to the dashboard, but other than that its beautiful. Dad complained he could hear air noise on the driver side, i didnt hear anything but after driving the neon which sounds like a hurricaine is going on outside while in operation, its a dream. We are waiting for the loan to go through on monday and then the car is mine and i can pick it up!
im very exciting but nervous at the same time. I have this car and a 5 year contract to make payments each month. It will be good to build up my credit but i cant help but feel a bit apprehensive. This is a big responsibility that felt like it was years and years away and now here it is. Im so grateful i have a father who is able to help me get my life started.
Every time i see him eh tells me to get a job, which i am trying depserately to do. i have an interview at the nursing home i used to work at on monday, pretty excited a bout this,. i have my doubts t hough, my nursing mentor told me that its not a good idea to get started into a nursing home, and i worry about getting stuck in the older market, what i want is pediatrics and its so hard to get into and med/surg experience is needed but i dont know how theyd feel about nursing home experience. i guess its a job though.
Its not in kentucky or cinci which is really where i want to go. I dont have any friends in cleveland and i love my family but im young and what am i going to do with my free time here? i guess i can always hit the road and visit. But as my relationship grows its becomes increasingly difficult to live without the one you love on a daily basis. He is in so many ways my future but its so hard to wait for it to happen. I worry about the test this will place on us.... but then again this is a temporary thing, to make money.
we shall see how it goes. Ikeep saying that God will place me exactly where i need to be and i have to continue to trust that.
