1. I love french fries. Every restaurant I go to, I order fries and I eat every last one!! The only fries I don't like are the ones that have that batter coating on them.

2. I love reading books. Any kind of book...romance, mystery, fiction, You name it, I will read it.

3. I talk to my dog. I love my dog!! He is such a good companion. He is so much fun to have around.

4. I love the country band, Sugarland. I want to see them in concert.

5. I never watch movies. Not that I don't like movies, because I do . In fact, I love them. It's just that with my crazy work schedule, I never have time to go to the movies. I catch up on movies on HBO. I am watching The Devil Wears Prada as I type.

6. I miss New Jersey, but I love Florida. It is a big change but I am getting used to it. I miss all of my family & friends but am enjoying my "new" life with my husband and my dog.

7. I can't wait to be done with school and finally be a RN!! I am still anxiously awaiting my test date for the CPNE (the clinical portion). I am hoping I will hear something soon!!

8. I love my husband. He is the most important person in the world to me. He treats me like a queen. I don't know what I'd do without him.

Blogs that I tagged:

House rented!!

Our house is finally rented. We found a nice older couple and they have agreed to move in on August 1, 2007. What a relief!! We were starting to get a little worried as we haven't had much of a response to the advertising we have been doing.

Job hunting!!

Since I am not happy with the drama that is going on at my workplace, I have decided to look for another job. I went on two interviews this week. The first was at a local hospital. They offered fair salary but wanted me to work the 7pm-7am shift. I just don't think I have it in me to go back to that shift again. My second interview was at a local doctor's office. The hours are great, Mon-Fri (NO WEEKENDS!!), but the pay is not very good. I told them what I would need to make and they told me they would let me know. They just called me about 15 minuters ago to schedule a second interview for Wednesday morning. I hope that is a good sign!!

Still waiting!!

I am still waiting to get my test date for the CPNE. It has been 6 weeks and I still have not heard anything. I called the school yesterday and got put through to a voicemail so I left a message and I still have not heard anything!! I am soooo frustrated with this!! I want to make my plans already!!!!

School Update

I am currently enrolled in Excelsior College's LPN to RN program. It is a distance learning program. I study for a test, pay for it, schedule it, and go to the nearest Pearson Vue testing center to take the test. I have finished all of my Nursing Concepts exams and am now eligible to take the CPNE. The CPNE is the clinical part. I have to go to a testing center for 4 days and have my ability to perform various nursing skills judged. I sent in my application for the CPNE back in June. I hear that it takes 6-8 weeks to get a testing date. I am hoping to hear something soon. I just want to get this over with!! In the meantime, I am studying for Microbiology (my last pre req that I have to take)!!

Back from vacation!!

Who would have thought that I would ever consider a trip to the Jersey shore a vacation???!!! Well, I do now. Does that make me a shoobee?? I don't think so...I was born and raised at the Jersey shore!! Anywho, I had a great time!! I ate so much junk food. All foods that you can't find here in Florida...i.e. cheesesteaks, scrapple, creamed chipped beef, Mack's Pizza, Sam's Pizza. It was all soooo yummy!!
It was so great to see all of my family and most of my friends. I wish I had had a little longer to stay so I could have seen a few more people. Being "home" for a week made me realize how much I miss the Jersey shore in the summer time. We went crabbing, went to the sandbar, and went bar hopping by boat!!
Now, I am back home in hot, humid Florida waiting for my dear hubby to get home. He won't be home from Jersey until Wednesday. I have to wait until August for our next vacation to the Jersey shore.
