What an interesting day it has been. Usually I am pretty regimented in my days. Clinic on Mon and Tues, study day Wed and Thurs, carpool Thurs, Friday either home with Liam or a study day. Today I woke up with the kids. I am home with them most of the week for Spring Break. It is welcomed time away from school.
Then the weird part...I get a call to interview for a nursing position next week. That's exciting. I get another call from a nursing recruiter (who in all honesty I thought was a solicitor so I was pretty abrupt with him) and an email from a recruiter in the UK. To top it all off I get a call asking if I am interested in a nursing director job, yep of an entire department. I applied for a different position there. Ironically when I was sending my resume out this weekend I was crying to my partner that my cover letter was poorly written and I was just a overeducated nurse with not enough experience. Who would even consider me?
Even better, I received an email officially accepting me into the post-Master's family nurse practitioner (FNP) program. Hooray! I will be deferring for a year to travel to Europe with the family. The logistics of going to Europe this summer are overwhelming and exciting. A friend is interested in renting our house and caring for our dog. That is nice. I realize I could easily have a job set up before I leave...job stability before leaving for 6 months is always nice.
The children are picking up Spanish and French. We went to the book store to buy some bilingual children's books. Liam saw a book with mariposas and counted them in Spanish without my prompting him. For me it has been fun relearning the French I spent 5 years learning in high school and college and the year of Spanish I took a few years ago.
But for now, my reality is I have 2-4 weeks to finish my culminating Master's project, write a few more essays, finish my financial project, study for finals, finish clinic hours, send out invitations for graduation and complete a few certification courses. Oh yes and take the nursing licensure examination. Europe stays on the back burner for a little longer.
Glad so much is happening.
Glad graduate school is coming to a close.
Glad I have a great family and group of friends that support me every step of the way.

Y'know, most people start a blog, and talk about their travels... the kids.. the cute things in life. This one guy I read occasionally posts pictures of his (adorable and beautiful) child, and rants about traffic. And you talk about travelling soon... but you are pretty much CNN for Nurses and Midwives... Perhaps standing for Cecily Nurse News, your most watched source for Cecily news and Nursing news... as well as the "WTF are our governments thing???" news... heh heh
