2 month milestone

Through a lot of prayer and time I have been coming to peace with my place here in Lincoln. Like I have said before God definitely opened all the doors for me to get here and why I doubt him about his decision is beyond me but it happens :/

I know God will give me relationships here in Lincoln but I will have to wait on his timing, which I can do.

ANYWAYS, yesterday I went up to Grand Island, NE which is about 1 1/2 hrs west to visit my nursing school friend Tesia. I got to meet her soon to be sister-in-law and I also got to see their new home that their in the process of buying. It's a beautiful home and I can't wait to see how they make it their own. We had a lot of fun visiting the little grocery store on Main st. in Wood River, NE which is where their house is. The store is called Mr. B's and it was sooooo adorable. I love having Tesh so close, I think she enjoys having me in Lincoln too! ;)

I also realized that I haven't told you any stories from my new nursing job. I have had 1 patient leave AMA(against medical advice), 2 patients with fistula's which is a hole made from one part of the body to another, so my patients were peeing poop and pooping pee (minor stuff like that)...I've been successful on most of my IV stick but some I have had to get help on. I got to celebrate a 66th wedding anniversary with my patient and his wife, they gave me the leftover Olive Garden and some cake, it was a good dinner. I have been blessed to take care of patients and their families who have just received news of new onset cancer. I have been subjected to smells I never thought could come out of a human body, like bloody stools. I have learned how to deal with my patients who are hard of hearing...a true test of patience for sure!!

It's been a great 2 months so far and I can't believe I only have 4 more weeks of orientation...YIKES, I'm definitely feeling more prepared then I was when I first started. I start working the night shift this week, so I'll work from 6:45pm to 7:30am WOOT WOOT, it's be interesting that's for sure.
