Ok so, I haven't started that new job yet. The government is sooooooo slow about stuff!! But I finally got an answer as to why I have no gotten my physical done yet. The physicians on the base only do the physicals one day a week and they are REALLY backlogged. So who even knows when I'm going to be getting that done. Hopefully it won't be for too long. If so, I'm gonna have to get me a temporoary part time job or something, seriously. It's crazy. I'm just so used to working and I'm ready to get back to work again so, we'll see.

[[ I'm Quite Nervous ]]
Ok so...I just finished faxing the forms I needed to, to the Human Resources department for my new job. I had to answer YES to one of the questions that I did not want to. I am hoping that it does not affect me and cause them to change their mind about me.
I know that this job was ordained by God. That bad thing happened to me at Maryview then 2 days later is when they called and offered me this fantastic job...so it couldn't be anything but God. So I know if this job is truly God's will for me that this question will not affect anything and there will be no problems. But I'm only human and still in the back of my mind I'm nervous about it.
So y'all please pray that there are no problems and that my nerves would calm down....

[[ I Couldn't Ask for Anything More ]]
Honestly...as the title of this blog entails...right now at this moment in time...I do not think I could ask for anything more in life right now. I have not been able to say that in a very long time. But God is so good and that sentence right there just tops it all off! He is so amazing & I know that He will never fail me. Even if it seems like He is going to at the time, He always has something better coming up ahead of me that I cannot see coming yet.
Recently I was blessed with an awesome job for a doctor's clinical on the Naval Base in Yorktown. I am so very excited about this. I have been very VERY unhappy working at Maryview for quite a long time now. Something happened at work recently that really got me down and it upset me every time I thought about it. But two days later, I got the call from the clinic offering me the job!! I could not believe it. I knew it had to be God. God truly blessed me with this job. It's funny how he works things out. When one opens an even better one opens. So I cannot complain. I'm going to have a wonderful job doing what I love...working for the government...and getting the pay that I deserve with weekends and all holidays off. What more could I want??
Also I want to take the time to tell you that I am truly thankful for my boyfriend, Jeff. Honestly, if I was him...I think I would be tired of me by now but for some reason he has stuck with me and I love him for it. If he's sticking with me through alot of crap that we have both endured just together that's gotta mean something good. After God he makes my life worth living. I always look forward to seeing him or just talking to him every single day because I know that no matter what he will brighten my day despite the mood that I am in. I know for sure that God has some great plans for us and I cannot wait to see what they are.
God is good all the time...all the time, God is good!

[[ Annoying Co-Workers ]]
"God...I'm going to really need you to help me today not to strangle my co-worker...you know who she is..."
I start this blog entry out with that because well, it is a prayer that I need to start most of my days with sometimes when I know that I'm going to work with "her" (I do not say her name for protection purposes...and I know she won't see this but I'm just not going to mention her name). But seriously...there is this one particular RN at my place of employment whom I am not very fond of at all. I may sound mean but it's the truth...I cannot help how I feel and to tell you the flat out truth...I am NOT the only one. She's just the type that really likes to dictate...is lazy alot of the time...and does not consider the other working around her that they can not always do what she wants right away. Really though...they should have to do what "she wants". That's not what we are at work for. We are at work to give our patients the utmost "excellent" care that we possibly can....to keep them safe and let them know that they are good hands with our nurses.
Today this particular RN...another LPN...and I had a meeting with our Manager and clinical coordinator because this RN had a problem with us. She told our Manager that we had communication problems and we never let her know anything. But we also had to point out to our manger alot of the things that this RN does NOT do...she is very rude...and like to delegate and have things done when she wants them done when she sees that we are extremely busy so we came up with a plan to "improve" these problems which probably will not last very long at all but...we will have to see.
Also...this RN told a flat lie about me about something I did at work yesterday. I corrected her part of the story that was wrong but she INSISTED that I was the one that was wrong...and so of course...our manager believes her and sorta defends her because that's just how they are. So whatever I did not argue a whole lot because I am NOT in trouble. There ain't no reason to make things worse than they are.
Anyways...I'm just sick and tired of being belittle because I am a LPN. Alot of that seems to be going on lately. Maybe not to be directly but in general. Some LPNs can know just as much as a RN does we just both play different roles. Sometimes the reputation some RNs give themselves makes me really not want to be one. I'm still praying on that though to see if God wants me to become one. I still am not sure.
I finally have a day off tomorrow!!!! Yes!!! lol...only one so that I can work the weekend but...it's better than nothing. I am DEFINATELY going to be sleeping and going to the gym at some point. I think I have done enough rambling for the night. So...Adios!

[[ Missing in Action ]]
Hey! I know...I have been M.I.A. for about almost 4 months now...AGAIN! I'm sorry ya'll. Life has just been so busy & like I always I just sometimes forget that I even have this blog. Anyways....so there has been so much that has happened since I last wrote and let me give you the quickest update that I possibly can without making this entry TOO LONG.
So, as you know I have been working at Maryview for 1 year & 3 months now. Wow! I cannot believe it. Time sure does fly. If you want me to be flat out honest with you...from my point of view things have gotten worse and worse around that place. There are so many new rules set in place everytime you turn around it seems like. It's so bad that a whole lot of employees on our floor have been run off. I work on the South side of the floor but on the North side all they have is 2 of their day time nurses left...and one is getting ready to transfer to the ER and the other promised she was leaving right behind her so...the side of the floor is pretty much screwed. I can bet money on it that most of our employees will be on the side before we know it.
As far as my relationship status goes....remember the guy I told you about in my last entry?? Well...we are still dating!! =] His name is Jeff. We have been dating for 4 months now and it has been so awesome. He is one of the most amazing guys that I have ever met. I do not think that I could ask for anyone better. He can make me laugh even if I'm not in the mood, he loves to workout, he's family oriented, he's CHRISTIAN (big plus to me), and not to mention very very handsome. =] My Dad LOVES him alot...he didn't like his age at first but after getting to know him and NOT judging him like some others in my life seem to do...he has gotten to like him. I can see us last a very long time and at this point I am hoping forever.
Lorrie, here's your picture you asked for...ha ha! Anyways...I will start trying to update more often but I think this will due for now.
God Bless,
Christine

[[ My Apologies ]]
My apologies to you all...I know I have not blogged here in a LONGGGGGGG time!! I am very sorry. I know your lives have not been the same without reading my blog everyday...I know...I know...lol. So I thought I would stop by finally and leave some kind of blog for you to read.
Updates on me...
This coming up May 1st...it will be a 1 year anniversary for me. It will be my 1 year anniversary of being a nurse!! I cannot believe it. Time flies by way too fast!! I am just finding it so hard to believe that it is going to be a full year already. I've definately learned so much...met many great people....and gotten some great experience throughout this whole period of time. We have recently gone through some changes at my place of employment that are interesting...that I don't believe was thought through enough & they have lost some employees over but...we will just have to wait it out & see how it begins to work out. I've been new job searching & have applied for a few jobs that look promising & plan to apply for more. I was called for an interview at a pediatricians office but had to turn it down because it was in VA Beach...and I didn't realized it....darn it!
As far as my relationship status...I am still a single gal. But last month I met this really great guy at work...who really likes me...and well...I REALLY like him. We just started dating & it has been fun so far. =] This guy is actually quite a bit older than me but...I do not care...he is a good Christian, and so many other qualities that I love...not to mention he's cute. ;-) My ex actually found out about him and has been acting a little jealous around me lately...weird...anyways...I'm just glad to see that I am finally ready to move on.
There really isn't much more to say right now so I will end here. I hope you are happy with this one Lorrie!
God Bless,
Christine

[[ Change #2 ]]
Ok so...the next change I've decided to make for 2008 is...I'm going to start becoming a more outgoing person. Work has really helped me come out of my shell since I started in May with the many people that I come in contact with each and every day…but then I'll get together with people I know even better than them and I'll act shy and hardly talk. I know that becoming more outgoing will help me in any social situation in the long run.
Because I know that people skills is essential for most jobs these days I think that this change would also be a must from that perspective. Thing is...I'm usually just fine...I can go in a room & talk to a patient or a patients family like it doesn't bother me a bit but...then I'll get with people I've met before and know so much about and clam up (only sometimes, not everytime) which is kinda the wierdest thing I've ever heard of. So...yeah that's about I don't have a whole to say to more about this so...have a great night!

[[ #1 Change ]]
Ok so yes...I know I am up for late but...I'm not really all that tired & I've been reading other peoples blogs...not only on this site but various other sits & it has really gotten me in the mood to blog. So I figured I would blog tonight despite what time it is.
As I promised you last entry...I am going to start out by telling you the number one thing I am going to be changing about myself this year in 2008.
I know my number one priority this year is to really get on the right path with God…get my life focused on him…and being the Christian that I should be because I know I did not do a very good job of that in 2007. I kept getting right with Him and going straight back to the way I was. To be honest with you...so far in 2008 I haven't been doing so great in this area. But every day I pray & ask God to give me the strength to carry on...the desire to ready His word daily...pray & seek His face. I know that is the only way I will accomplish it. I also know that it takes time...little by little...step by step. So I cannot be so down on myself so early in the year.
I know that if I go back to spending time with God again like I should be that everything else will fall into place right behind it and eventually I will be back to where I was with him...and hopefully, surpass that level if that is where God would have me to be in my relationship with Him. I really am excited to see what God has in store for me because I have this feeling that something different is going to happen in me this year and I want to know what that thing is. Only time will tell.
God Bless,
Christine

[[ It's a Brand New Year ]]
Ok so..I know it's been a while sinc I have updated & I'm sorry. It's been quite a busy past few weeks but it's been going alright. Christmas was nice & New Years was fun. I just cannot believe that it is already the year 2008. Time flies by wayyyy tooooooo fast for me!! In the blink of an eye. I guess that is why we need to all learn to slown down & cherish every moment that we have because we do not know which will be our last.
With it being a brand new year I have a few "new years resolutions" of course. But this is a year that I really do plan on following through with them. These are some things that I am very serious about. There are some things in my life that I want changed & I know will definately make it better. I will not be sharing them all in this entry but I'll be sharing one thing at a time in the next few entries to show how I will be changing them.
It's funny...the other day I saw Josh for the 1st time at church since the day we broke up & it was soooo akward at first. I hugged when I first got there or whatever but I just kinda went away & talked to some other people because that's what he was doing. Then, he was singing on the stage & it was hard for me to look up there...I do not know why. I guess it's kinda a normal feeling that I'm gonna have for right now. But by the end of the night I was fine & we were both talking to each other like it was a normal day. It seems to all be coming together. We've talked on the phone a few times & I dunno we'll just keep on doing what we are doing & it will "hopefully" be back to a normal friendship in not time.
God Bless,
Christine
