Now a small bit about me

Some know that by profession I am a registered nurse. I worked full time for 4 years before leaving to be home full time. At the time it was right for our family, but lately I have had the desire to return to work for a variety of reasons. I have been nervous about returning after a 2.5 year absence, plus leaving my kids and such. I love being a nurse and really have no other "hobby," other than reading. So I decided to take the plunge and applied for a job at Banner Thunderbird Medical Center. I worked there previously on a telemetry (heart)/stroke unit and loved it. I usually go for what I am comfortable with and was going to apply there again but decided to try something new. I applied for an Emergency Room position. Well I interviewed last Monday and found out this past Tuesday that I was hired. I am really excited! I got a full time but only 32 hour per week job. The best part is my sister in law Hailie will be taking care of my kids so I don't have to put them in a full time day care which I have never wanted to do. Well anyway, just thought I would share. I'm excited for this new adventure and nervous...hopefully it will be just like riding a bicycle.
