HARPER HOMESTEAD

Change is in the air! You might all know already but, I am working towards getting into Nursing school. I am currently doing all my pre-nursing classes before I apply for Nursing school. Plus I am working full time. Last semester I received my CNA certification. I have been wanting to work in a clinical setting next to nurses and doctors. I want and need that experience before I do become a RN someday. I sent out my resume and I got a call I had an interview with three RN's (which was pretty nerve racking to say the least). Two days later I got a call they wanted me apart of their team! I said YES before I really thought about it! It is all overwhelming, scary, and exciting! OMG what is happening? 

I have worked at my current job for almost seven years. That's a long time in my book. Since I've been here my last name has changed 3 times. I found out I was pregnant my coworkers knew before anyone else, Got married, decided to go to college all in seven years! I have made so many life long friends, and had so many memories here. It is so hard to leave, but it is time for me to move on. I prayed " God if this is the right thing for me please let it happen" I read this verse a lot in the last week. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. Psalm 32:8 

These next few weeks, and months are going to be tough. I will be learning and doing so much. You probably want to know where I am going right? I took a position at Freeman Hospital in Joplin. I will be working on the Cardiac Medical Floor as a nurse tech. It is unreal to me right now. When I walked in; there was so much going on I loved it I had that exciting feeling like I was on an episode of Grey's Anatomy. (I know it will never be like Grey's, but for a moment I felt like Dr. Shepherd might walk by, and when I got on the Cardiac floor I might see Dr. Yang, and she would give me a dirty look..a girl can dream a little right?) 

I am scared I will hear negativity from some people.... just don't I know what I want to do it is my choice, my life, thank you to everyone that supports me I need all the positive vibes I can get. This is a big step for me, and I am happy I get the chance to follow my dreams. 

I already had my sweet brother in law tell me and I quote "I hope that if I have a heart attack, you're there to take care of me!" 

So this is it here I go fresh start....
