update: grad and award, resume and interview
I guess that I should state somewhere that I did, in fact graduate last month. : )
And now I've completed a resume (with some help) and sent it to the hospital of my choice (with some more help).
So last night was the first time I really got to see it in print. A thing I am so proud of. A first for me, at age 34.
At the bottom of my resume it says:
AWARDS: Florence Nightingale Award, Jefferson State, Licensed Practical Nursing class of ’08
I haven't really been updating much on the positive side of life, so I'm doing some catch up here. sdunn711 posted a congratulations for me and wrote up wonderful things a long time ago. But that would be a little bit annoying of me to go on and on about how great I am in my OWN blog! So I will just post this nice description of what it means, from her blog:
"This award is given to someone the entire class feels embodies the very essence of what it means to be a nurse. The actual college's description is this: A graduates who best exemplifies honesty, technical knowledge and skill, congeniality, committment to nursing, emotional maturity, communication ability, respect for others, academic record, humility, leadership abilities, and support of the nursing program and the college."
Yay!
And while I didn't walk away from my interview today knowing I have the job I want, and I did have to say, "I have no experience", I'd be one of the most compassionate nurses they ever had!
Keep your fingers crossed.
I also, should add that sdunn711 got me a Florence Nightengale shirt that is sooo cute! I'll have to post a pix sometime.
Blessings, ~Maura
