i had my 6 month eval. it went quite well. although, i dont get a raise til a year...but that is typical at this hospital. they dont do raises until then....i do however, get a cost of living raise in april...how cool is that!!
so, you know how i was wishing for 8 hour shifts a post or two back, well, my wish came true. it was someone else's misfortune, but i landed their position....it includes three 8 hour shifts and one 12 hour shift a week. this, folks, will be better for me....as i have self diagnosed myself with Pregnancy Induced Narcolepsy with secondary Retardation as of late....and being at work for more than 8 hours at a time seems to exacerbate the symptoms....so, my new schedule actually starts next week! i cant believe how lucky i am...and how awesome my boss was to offer me the position!
on top of all that, i felt really good about my day, as i had a difficult one yesterday....as a new nurse, i feel like a real truly good day is hard to come by....not because being a nurse is horrible or anything...but someday...sooner than later i hope....i will go one day without feeling dumb....but thats a whole other topic to chat about some other day....today was a decent day....its too bad about my lunch bag though.

Someone else's misfortune? That sounds a little suspicious to me Angie....
Cute lunch bag! I'm happy that you got some shorter shifts. I can't imagine working that many hours in a day, and being pregnant. I don't know how you nurses do it. I'd be so cranky.
Ahhh... New nurse-ness. Isn't it fun? I am finally feeling somewhat OK about going to work most days, and I've only been a nurse for a year and a half. When will we ever feel truly confident?? (found your blog via craftster, by the way.)
