I feel a lot better about all of it. I'm actually really, really happy!
I've been on the floor the past couple of days and it's been great! Still don't know what I'm doing half of the time, but luckily everyone has been really helpful and nice. I like knowing there's so much to do in this field even though I'm not independent yet. But I'm in no rush for that! ha ha ha! Just like taking the baby steps for now.
I am so happy and relieved to have this job. I can't stop feeling so good inside!! I've never had that happen to me before.
BUT... (now this is my negative side talking) I'm just worried because you know the saying, "What goes up, must come down."
Hmmm.... just hoping I can handle it all when that happens because the way I've been feeling lately, that "down" is going to be really hard.
So... new goal for the new year:
Face every challenge head on and with a better attitude than before.
Ok go!
I think when we are having a great time in life but automatically start dreading the downsides that it's a protective defense mechanism for the heart. No one likes to be unpleasantly surprised with trials/not so good times. But sometimes there isn't a down... sometimes we're rewarded and there's no catch! But there will always be trials (aka opportunities for growth) presented to us to HELP us reach our greatest potential. I don't know what kind of trials you may face and I don't know whether or not they'll be related to nursing directly (inconvenient hours, job opportunities in other states that pull you away from a lover etc), but I am sure that you'll always enjoy being a nurse & that any trials you face won't take that joy away from you. Heavenly Father knows you've worked so hard for this & that you deserve to revel in the splendor for a good while (hopefully I'm not jinxing you!).
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you have a determined/gritty attitude for this year! Oo rah!
