I am so ECSTATIC!!!!
Just wanted to stop by and say a quick HODWY! and share my wonderful news....


I am getting ready to graduate from Nursing School (May 10th to be exact) and have been submitting applications for jobs. Today, I got a phone call from my top choice of hospitals to work for: Arkansas Children's in Little Rock.

I am soooooooo excited about the prospect of working for this organization that I just had to share the news!!!!!! The interview is set for Monday, March 3rd @ 10am.


So, who's going to Happy Dance with me?!?!?!?!?!

:bounce: :woohoo: :bounce: :woohoo: :bounce: :woohoo: :bounce: :woohoo:

2. Congrats to you and the recovering children of Little Rock.
I got you a graduation present but I sort of smoked it already.

Probably a good thing as a nurse will probably pee in a cup and why blow all those years of higher education.

Again congrats to you and the kids.

6. Congrats on the interview!
Knock 'em dead, then resuscitate them, so they know that you've got mad skills.

7. Fantastic!
The nice thing about nursing is there's no shortage of jobs now. And you can get more education and specialize if you get tired of hospital work. Congratulations! :party: :toast:

17. I honestly think that is part of the reason I decided to enter the field.
I have so many interests and so many things intrigue me....I don't think I could be happy in a job where I was never challenged or encouraged to grow.

Nursing is so varied....you can realize strengths that you didn't know you had b/c of challenges you meet on a daily basis. I can't WAIT to get started.

15. Thanks!!!
I've always said that working at this hospital was my dream job, something that might happen further down the road. Like after I finished my Master's degree.....I never thought I would be talking about it or possibly working there right out of nursing school!!!!! I am just speechless about that. But so excited at the same time!!!! LOL.

22. Thanks applegrove....
I have worked very hard....It's almost done. Thankfully. I am so ready to get my "real" education in nursing.

The best quote I have heard about Nursing school and actual Nursing:

"Nursing school has only taught you how to NOT kill someone. You'll learn the rest on the floor." - Unknown

I figure that's pretty fitting....I hear often that when you graduate nursing school you really know nothing. The actual experience of nursing teaches you everything that you'll use.
