No Luck

So, I justed wanted to let everyone know that I did not get the job with recovery. I always say things happen for reasons and this is one of those times. I sure hope that by the end of this year that I will be in a new department. I was thinking after Aimee's wedding and Mady's 1st b-day that maybe I should go to ICU. They always say in nursing that if you can do ICU you can do anything.
I will have to, of course, talk to the managers when that time comes. Oh well, better luck next time :(

Madison's 6 month Check-Up

Madison has come through again sort-of. So, she is still really long, the head measures normal, but she is low on the weight. She is in the 50% for her weight. The doctor was concerned, but after discussing what she eats and how much, he seemed to be okay with her weight. We are all feeding her what she wants and believe me I know when she does not want to eat because that girl will close her mouth and not open it for nothing. We have to keep trying and not over feed her because then she will throw-up and then we have to clean the mess.

Danny starts school this Tuesday so you all wish him luck (specially me)!!! It is going to be a really hard semester again, but it will be worth it in the end. This will be the last semester of going to school early in the morning and at nights. The next two classes are during the day. He will have to work with medcor and grimmway regarding school and if they do not then he will be out of work!! We will try not to have that happen though.

Danny's parent's and little brother are here now visiting for today and leaving tomorrow since it is a holiday. Madison was not very happy to see any of them :(. Boy did she cry, cry and cry!!!! She was crying so hard that I just wanted to grab her and comfort her. I did get to hold her for a minute, then Daddy wanted her. I think she was just really tired since it was 3pm and no nap yet and also she is getting towards that stage where the stranger anxiety is hitting. Speaking of the devil she just woke up. Danny finally got her to take a nap, good job daddy! :)

I have not found out about the recovery position, but I am going to call this week to see what they have decided to do. I do not know if I mentioned that I had an interview with recovery about 1 week ago, but there was another person also applying as well, so they say. So we will was happens this week when I call.

I am good! I am the same and nothing has changed with me. I am going to however, be an instructor for stoller strides here in Bakersfield and I am really excited about it. I think I got for training in April and it is down in San Diego. That is about it with me~

Whats New With Madison

So, I have to say that Madison has begun to do a lot more things. First, about 2 days ago I saw her roll over (from back to abdomen). She also knows her name very well when you call her. Second, she is copying me when I stick out my tongue. She is getting so big and her next appt is the 13th.

Today, I had an interview with Recovery and I think it went well. I just really need a change and am tired of bring home my anger and frustration at home. It is hard not too because you just need to vent, but I seem to do it every night. They say when you are unhappy that you need to change before it affects your patient care. I mean I would never give bad care because I think of them and care for them like if they were one of my family members. It is hard when your boss is always complaining that we, as a department, are not meeting the expectations of their "rules" and etc. Also, they have cut so much from the economy that we hardly ever have a secretary and nurses aid so as an RN you are doing everything! I am just tired and frustrurated. However, I am glad to have a job that brings home money and I am very thankful for that!

Danny starts back to school on the 20th so here we come with another long semester of long nights. I think he goes Monday-Thurs 6:45-8 am then Monday and Wednesday from 6-10pm which is on top of full time work Monday-Friday. We know we can do it because we did it last semester. Just wish him luck. After this semester he will have I think 2 or 3 classes left before he can apply.
