Hey family,

Today is my last day at clinical (I am on a break right now). I have truly enjoyed it here as they have enjoyed me also. I got my preceptor a lucky bamboo plant and she loved it. She got me a book titled "Nonviolent Communication, a Language of Life" and she wrote a sweet note in it. I am considering continuing to volunteer here in the future sometime, because they really need the help and I enjoy it a lot.
After I turn in a big paper tomorrow, my assignments will be finished for the quarter, except for my nursing final of course, so I will have about a week of relaxation before finals.
One thing I am really excited about is that I have a phone interview with Human Resources at Children's--for the RN position I applied for--on Monday. Like 5 other girls in my class have interviews too but I think I have an advantage since I already work there as a tech. I really hope I can get a job secured early so I don't have to worry about that. I found out that it is not even possible to take the boards until at least 3 weeks after graduation (probably sometime in mid to late July). So after graduation, we have a week of Kaplan review for the test and then I can register to sit for the exam. I am already nervous about it!
Many of you don't know that last Wed. I got cleared from the doctor to start running again! I have only ran twice since then but my foot has felt great and I can't wait to get in shape again. I will not be competing, even in outdoor, because my foot took longer to heal than expected, so there isn't time for me to get in competition-shape.
Spring break starts the 20th and I just plan to work a lot, begin studying for boards, looking for apartments, and relaxing.
Next quarter I volunteered to have my clinical at nights, so like 7 pm-3am or 7pm-7am. So that will give me a taste of third shift.
I like this idea, it will really help keep us all updated on each other.
Lastly, I am going to attempt to post my graduation picture later. Can you believe I am almost done with college??? Neither can I!
Love you all,
Catey Mae
