I'm currently typing this at 11pm, still in my work scrubs, trying to keep my eyes open long enough to finish this post and put on pajamas. I recently started Pediatrics, my last "real class" before Capstone and graduation. It's been busy busy. But there have been little pockets of fun and rest. I've got some deeper posts in mind and typed up, but for now I just want to keep it light and share some little joys lately. I love my job. I love Oncology. When I applied to be a nurse intern, I was willing to work on any unit. I never thought I'd actually get interviewed on the Oncology unit, without even mentioning that it was the specialty I'm most interested in. The patients are amazing, and the nurses are phenomenal. One day, after helping an older patient with something seemingly so simple, she pulled me in to a tight hug and said "you are going to be an amazing nurse, my dear". I really had to hold back some tears. Those patients are incredible, and I cannot wait to work in the cancer field as an RN. Adding work onto my nursing school schedule has been a whirlwind. Most days are long and hectic, but I'm rolling with it. (All those nursing students who do work, nursing school, and have kids- you are incredible). The busyness isn't too bad when you are doing something you love. Oncology is my place. Overton Square, you're good to me. I'm so glad Memphis has this area. I got dinner at Belly Acres with a friend, and it never disappoints. Soon I'm planning on a yoga class at one of the studios at Overton. It's been too long since I've been to a real yoga class, and my body is in need for sure. I'm not too into hot yoga, or vinyasa. I'm more of a slow, deep stretch yoga kinda person. I'm also the kind of person that would order fries from Belly Acres and then head to said yoga class. Balance, my friends. I've recently been toying with the idea of moving after graduation. This thought is equally exciting and terrifying. Right now Nashville is on the table, but I'm open to anywhere. It would be an adventure, and I know there would be plenty of challenges. Still, the thought of a whole new start in a new city feels good.
