New job, school done, prayers

Wow, it has been a busy couple weeks since school ended. It's hard to believe that one semester is over already for nursing school. I hope the following semesters go by just as fast. Got my school schedule for next semester, and it looks like it is going to be a busy semester.

Started a second job yesterday. I will be working the front desk at The Crossings Inn & Suites in Becker. I think I am going to enjoy this position just as much as the Best Western Chelsea Inn & Suites in Monticello. I interviewed for a housekeeping position but the manager was so impressed with me that they wanted me for Front Desk. Said I had a very good personality and professionalism about me.  I am somewhat surprised how similar the hotel/hospitality industry is to healthcare. All my years of helping others has proven to be good training for this position. I think these jobs will also help my in my future in nursing and maintaining my customer service skills.

Brian is still looking for a job. It has been almost 3 months. He has been able to work odd jobs here and there to help pay his bills but it has not been easy. I say prayers everyday that he will find a job. He fills out applications regularly, makes follow up calls. No luck so far. He is waiting for return calls from a couple. Texas seems to have their own time when following up on filling positions. He has been trying to get a vehicle running (his two have both crapped out) and seems to be making headway but that takes money also. If you are reading this I ask that you pray that Brian get the job he is to have soon and that he finds a reliable means of transportation. Thanks!

I read that if your prayers are not answered right away it is because God is helping you grow into the person he knows you are. I sure hope this is not preparing me for a difficult life but rather helping to prepare me to understand others who will be possibly going through similar situations.  I want to get into Home Health and Geriatrics after I graduate nursing school. I think this is a good fit for me.

Have a wonderful day readers of my blog.
