Summer Break

Well I have a week off from school. I have successfully completed my CNA class and I am waiting for the first available date to take my state test. Next week I start working on my PCT classes. Almost there and then onto another college to get my AA as a Surgical Tech. Then after that on to get my Masters for RN. I am going to be in college forever.

So I have been interested in moving after I am well on my way and half way done with school. One place I have started looking at is New Zealand. Why? You can't beat the beauty, and the homes are gorgeous. The only thing is I have never been there and I am not sure what the people are like, the schools and how things work there? There are medical jobs there in high demand which is better than what I am getting here. Although AZ is having issues with the state budget so that puts jobs on hold. Then there is the other factor that so many people are unemployed that when on job opens they have thousands of applicants.

I finally made it to orientation to volunteer at the VA Hospital through the Red Cross. I have had to go through so much red tape because it is a federal building. I still have a lot of paperwork to complete and face to face interview.

I am hoping that with this nice little break I can knit and get some new items up on essenceofara1.etsy.com. And for this Month in July I am offering a free gift with purchase from http://amaxwell-cousins.mymarkstore.com/ Hey I have to help pay for college some way.

Am I Really That Boring? Wait Don't Answer That.

I must be extremely boring as a blog writer... no one wants to comment or be a follower of my blog. Hum what does it take to be the blog everyone wants to read? I need my own reality show to get my fame as an interesting blogger. LOL. Well at least I make myself laugh. God If I had cameras following me around everyday the camera crew and producers would be put to sleep with how normal I am. Just normal old me.

Well on that note I have started my 2nd part of my CNA Classes and I am so pumped to take my state test. I went to clinical and I was thrown into a entirely new world. It is hard work. These residents depend on you for help with every day things that we take advantage of. After getting over my nerves on the first day, which had me on the verge of throwing up, the routine came easier and I felt real satisfaction in what I was doing.The best feeling in the world is to see them smile and be happy. I took two practice state tests and past both, so the studying is paying off. By July I should be a licensed CNA in the state of AZ. WOOHOO! I have maintained a 4.0 and made my spot on the Dean and Directors list. Ya Me!


Me on the right.
I sent in my application to a college for nursing and I am waiting to hear back. I was hoping to hear something today but no such luck. oh well the waiting game.

On top of everything there are so many other things I want to do. I want to get my CDL and go to culinary school, and buy a dirt bike. So I would be the Nurse who can drive big rigs, make a mean dinner, and take on MX track. Mom said I am a jack of all trades and master at none. I have done tons fun and fabulous things. Life is a dance you learn as you go.. right!

Keeping up on my reality shows has all been possible because of DVR. I have no idea what I would do without it.Any who, Real Housewives NJ I am not getting the reasoning behind them. The only thing I can think of is that they are related so that's why they are interesting. Well all them are related except one. I have never been to NY or NJ, but just curious are they the same type people, or is like Beverly Hills vs Orange County. You know like City girl and the girl who knows what a backyard is. Really is there a difference? New shows I have picked up on are Southern Belles:Louisville not a bad show a little on the boring side at times. I think my interest perks more with the people who are too rich for there own good and run around buying outrageous stuff. However the Southern Belle girls are more my style down to earth and are not afraid to fish and cook their own food. The new non reality show I am excited about viewing is Nurse Jackie, which looks so funny.

Well I used say I must be gett'n on so I can knit.. but now its I must gett'n on to study study study. Oh and work on my reality show deal with a major network.
