I am SO excited after my last two exams are finally over with I can say I am
done.
who am I kidding?? IM ONLY GETTING STARTED!
well- not really. A few weeks back I had my dreadful interview to finally be accepted in my clinical program in surgical technology. everything went great and my 'acceptance' letter came in a few days later. I am ecstatic. my heart is so full that all of my hard work is finally paid off.
[those of you who aren't in the health care in Columbia may not know.. but at midlands there is a 3 year waiting list to get into this program. its highly competitive and once you get in, you can finally breathe]
Thankfully, the program is only one year. They cram all of the clinical sites into two semesters. Next August- I will graduate and be nationally certified. As one door opens another one closes. During this year, it is so highly demand and intense we are 'suggested' not to work while in the program. This being said, I am having to say goodbye to my 3 attorneys I work for. (which is just a whole different topic). sad.
back to happy- along with this beautiful news, one of my FAVORITE people and very best friends is also accepted and starting the program with me. we had dinner the other night to celebrate. she is such a sweet person and I cant wait to enjoy this crazy hell of a year with her by my side.
I am so proud to say I have come this far and only ONE more year, I can do it.
I have always wanted to work in the health care field. I have always had that "motherly" instinct and always taking care of people whether I know them or not.
[sidenote] one day someone asked Edwin what is one of his favorite things about me- and he said 'I know she will always take care of me'
so sweet. but so true. I love to care and nurture people. well- to an extent. I have learned in my schooling that I may LOVE the patients I work with but the families are a different story. I have hard time focusing on my patients when I also a having to focus on the families. well, this is where I learned my love for the OR. I legit, fell in love. the drama. the excitement and the adrenaline is by far MY FAVORITE. I love surgery and I cant wait to have that in my every day life. I am so blessed to have my family and friends support me in this and again... this next year is going to be one crazy ride.
