Sermon of One

Today it was my weekend to work. My first procedure was not until 11am so I was able to sleep in. I did miss church still. After work I went to visit my parents and had a great discussion about world events. When I came home Baby Bird (my niece who's 5) is sick so I sat on the couch and held her. She's not normally very cuddly so it was kinda special to hold her and talk to her. 

After she relaxed more I spent the rest of my evening reading the scriptures (giving myself my own personal sermon). I started out in D&C 88, I've been taking several days to finish the section I want to really understand it. I came to verse 118  And as all have not faith, seek ye diligently and teach one another words of  wisdom; yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom; seek learning, even by study and also by faith. Afterwards, I went to John and was reading more when a particular scripture again stuck out  Jesus had washed his disciples feet he said to them in John 13:17 "If ye know these things, happy  are ye if ye do them". 

What I learned from those scriptures although my faith is weak keep studying, look for opportunities to learn, and apply what I learn to my life and in return "happy are ye if ye do them". 



This is from my trip to Paris last year, it has nothing to do with this post. 

Life Is Good

Today was my first day as an IPN (during the time I wait to take boards, I'm called an IPN). It's exciting and scary at the same time to start a new job. I have hospital orientation for the next three days. I learned about the Sisters who started the hospital, and the hard work that was put into it. And the values and mission of the hospital. Something that I find very cool, mainly because I've worked for them before, is that they really do live up to their mission and the values. They put the patients and their families first and make changes so that the nurses and other staff can give excellent care to them. This hospital is the really the best hospital the area. Although I'm not looking forward to working on nights; I am looking forward to working for the best. I know that I will learn so much and it has a lot of room for me to grow. I'm still really nervous about working and making sure I know everything. But I know that God will direct. He will assist me in remembering the things I need, in order to care for my patients and be able to learn the many new things that I will have as I embark on this new journey. It's a real blessing also to work for this hospital because I live so close; if I walk it's about 15 min. But riding my bike it's only maybe two minutes.

On another note this video is so funny!

job(s)

So today I had another job interview, although I've already chosen the place I want to work I didn't want to close any doors. The interview went go I was asked question regarding what my thoughts about the organization #1 were, how I would handle situations pertaining to what would be my job, and what I thought were my strengths/weaknesses and the organizations strengths. Over all the interview went good, I actually have worked with everyone of the people that were performing the interview at some point during my career so that was kinda cool. I was told that someone would call me by next week to inform me if I did or didn't the job. Personally at one point this job was my first choice because 1) it's near where I live, 2) It's the highest paying in the area, and 3) I've worked there before so I'm comfortable with the environment. But I was actually hired at another organization #2 earlier this week and I'm going at 3pm today to do a follow up visit and do some paperwork. If organization #1 hires me I'm not 100% what I will do. I had a "feeling" that organization #2 was where I should be... who knows! Maybe I'll just work both of them, JK. If I get the dream job, I will most likely turn down org#2. But it is possible that org #2 will make it worth my while to work for them.... man, it's a little bit of a game!

The other news...

I was at a new grad luncheon today for a hospital about 45 mins from my home. Most of the hospitals in the area host a new grad luncheon in hopes to recruit people to their hospitals. And just a side note the food has been great at everyone of them and they give away really cool prizes (but I didn't win anything!).

Well, back to my story, this hospital I applied for several weeks back, but it really was not my first choice heck it's not even my 4th choice! But today, I had the feeling that this hospital is the place I need to start my career at. I got the job on the spot, I'm just going to be waiting for the state to file and sent out my paperwork then I can start. I'm kinda hoping that the state does not send me back anything until after the Holidays are over! This job as a lot of good things and a few not so good, but for some reason I feel really strongly that this is where I'm supposed to be. It's a smaller one compared to the ones near my home, and I worked there a few years back for about a 1 1/2 years. So I guess I'll see what the future holds. And it also helps that they have a really big sign on bonus! But just so you know I didn't know what the sign on bonus was when I decided to become part of their organization.



CHRISTMAS PLANS...

For this Christmas I'm going to be spending it at parents house for a couple of days. The week before I will be going to see my grandparents who live a few states over. I can't help but remember the last time I went to visit them... I kinda broken into their house at 3am! Some friends was going to through where they lived that night; I was going to take the bus there the following morning and because they are so cool they said they would give me a ride, so it just made since to hitch a ride from them. I didn't wake them up but at 5:30am my grandpa woke up and he just about had a heart attack seeing me sleeping on his couch! The real hard part was getting back home... but thats another story for another day.

Only 22 more days till Christmas!
