Orientation Day 3

Hello, hello! I am actually in orientation right now... Bad, right? We are having a little break because some of our speakers decided not to show up, thus giving us an opportunity to check email, etc.

I am really excited about working here! I love that the hospital is so small and that it is not typically a teaching hospital. In Charlotte, while the hospitals are huge and great, nursing students are almost an inconvenience because there are so many of them. Here, there are only 4 "Professional Nursing Assistant" students so we get a lot more individual attention. The nurse recruiter talked to us today about different programs the Hospital offers that will pay for nurses to get a Masters Degree at Duke University. How awesome would that be?! Then I talked to one of the traveling nurses about travel and the great opportunities that come with that. She said it is a lot more fun to travel with a partner though. Any takers? Ahhh there are so many opportunities, it is hard not to get too excited. Honestly though, I really just want to graduate, get trained, and then go to a foreign country and do surgeries and mission work. Whatever that means, or however that looks.

Enough dreaming and scheming for now... our next speaker is here to talk insurance.
