Last time I was on here was in... September I believe? Thanks to all who gave me birtday wishes. It helped brighten my day. I have over come the stress of the loss of my two friends. They are in better places and someday I will see them again. 
I'm going to be graduating from my nursing class November 22nd and I'm very excited! I have been offered positions at a local hospital and nursing home. Made good friends with students in my class and also some who were in the hospital, and I became close with 3 kind eldery ladies in the nursing home. I'm not gonna be there Saturday, so I came to give a woman who will be 92 Saturday a birthday present and visit before work.
The hospital stressed me out the most. I worked the rehab floor first day. The people on the floor and the patients were all so fun. They all had a sense of humor and the CNAs and Nurses took great care of everyone. Some floors I felt like there was not enough work for a CNA to do. My 2nd day and last day of clinicals at the hospital I had to put people in body bags. 1st one was an elderly man who had heart failure. I've seen bodies in caskets, but when they've just died it feels different... I walked in the room cause the nurse on the intercom called my name to go to the room to help the other CNA, and I thought he was asleep or something.
"Uh... No. He's dead." My partner freaked, and I did the least thing I'd think of say, "Oh, cool! I'll help out."
Only think I didn't like is that some blood got on my arm after we removed some tubes, but I washed it really good soon after.
Last day of clinicals I worked cancer ward which is really a hot spot for ghosts if you believe in the paranormal. Some of the nurses said that they knew that sometimes something was there, but it never seemed harmful. I had 3 people die the day of that clinical and had to stay and watch a woman die infront of me because we had to write down every change in temp, O2, and blood pressure until she eventually passed. That one actually got to me... But I did all I could to make her comfortable by changing her, repositioning her, and giving ice to put on her to reduce the temp. She passed away WAY late that night after I left.
This line of work really changed my outlook on a lot of things. I feel like I take stuff more seriously and want to really be with my great-grandmother as much as I can before she goes.
Ehh... Enough of the depressing stuff.
Just wanted to give an update and to let ya'll know I'll be popping by every now and then.
