Hospital Job

Yep I got a new job.


I knew I wanted to start applying for jobs as a Patient Care Tech asap. Since I have been in retail for so long, I need to gain some experience that will actually help in health care.

Yall know how much I love Publix... and if you know me irl then you know I LOVE my company and know there is good money to be made there. But my heart is in caring for others, not counting cash & bagging groceries..... Im thinking of staying on one day/month so I can keep stock but idk. Do I really wanna drive hour & 1/2 each way for my stock??

I blurred out their faces out of respect for their privacy.
Old publix days!

Anywho- I applied 3 weeks ago and they called back the next morning. Yay! I went for an interview and they said they would call me. Now that to me means no job offer. Boo. But they called one week to the day later and offered me the job. Training is full time for the first 4-5 weeks which is 3 12-hour shifts. ahh.. and I start school 8-20. I have no idea how I am going to juggle all this. After I am done training I can pick my own shifts since I am PRN (as needed).

The good thing is we moved into our new apartment! :) & we got an awesome new roommate! Our new roommate.. C.. is in nursing school with me and was also driving hour & 1/2 to school. So when we knew for sure we were moving she tagged along too! Now we dont have to leave the house at 4am to get to clincials on time anymore. The new apt is a roommate style apartment with 2 master bedrooms with master baths. Love it. My only requirement is that is had garden tubs, I loves a bath in a big tub.. its like swimming. :) So we moved from a 3 bed 2 bath apt all to ourselves to basically a one bed one bath. But luckily C doesnt have much to bring so we have plenty room for all our furniture. Our side has a linen closet and double vanity. C didnt mind giving that up since there is 2 of us. Plus the closets are huge!!! Easily 3x the size of our old one. I am totally in love with this apartment, this town, and I think this hospital. I think we are planning on staying here a while and buying our first house here. I will graduate Dec '13 and we will definitely begin looking for a house again!
