Hitting reality a little bit

It starts to feel more and more real. A couple of times this semester it has hit me that I am graduating in July. These past couple of days I've had a new realization. I have to find a job. 

All nursing classes were cancelled, we were excused from school and our nursing class headed to Utah to tour hospitals, have mock interviews, ask questions and listen to a lot of presentations why we should consider applying to work at their hospital.

I have known for a while what area of nursing that I want to go into. But visiting these hospitals was an eye opener. I'll be put in Idaho for awhile. But seeing the other hospitals was impressive. Especially today. I had the opportunity to spend the morning at Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City.

Those are some dedicated, amazing nurses. The kind of nurse that I aspire to be. The nurses who make up the patients cheer team. Who hope the best for them. Who will make it possible for them to attend their high school prom, whatever it takes. Who work hard for those parents to have their baby home by Christmas. It was an awesome hospital, with an even more amazing staff.

We got a lot of tips when it comes to being a new grad applying for positions. Let the job searching and filling out applications begin! Ahhhh it's such a huge transition!
