About Me

My photo
Everything happens for a reason. This is what i keep telling myself these days. With all the troubles that i had last year, i pray that i come out on top as a stronger person.

For one chapter to begin, one must be closed. I'm closing the chapter of my life where i am a victim of circumstance, and opening a new chapter where I am full of optimism. I got accepted into Sierra College's Nursing Program for Fall 2009 . I know this is the start of a better life for us. I'm extremly blessed and fortunate to have gotten into the program after only applying once. I'm taking this as a sign from whatever greater power there is out there that this is what I am truly supposed to be doing. i'm not taking anything for granted anymore.

Seriously?!?

I never anticipated that finding work as a new grad would be this hard. It’s been almost 8 months since I graduated from nursing school. I’ve applied for over 200 jobs all over California. I’ve had a couple of interviews but still have not made it through the massive competition. The latest job I interviewed for had 5,000 applicants they said. I was floored when I heard that number. And I am still in a pool of 9 that they have to choose from. I would trade a full load of patients on a busy day shift any day for the stress that I am going through now. That is easy compared to the everyday anxiety of wondering if this is finally going to be my shot, and if it isn’t, when am I going to get another chance to show them just how much I want and deserve this.


This waiting around to hear the news is torture. How am I going to survive this week? The weekend?


I just need to breathe…
