So as I mentioned, I’m a nurse.  I started my career in 2006.  Right now, I’m in nursing management at a long-term care facility.  I’ve been doing this for about a year now.  This is my first job in management, and some days are definitely better than others (as anyone in healthcare is well aware of).  Today was a super busy day with seven admissions toward the end of my shift.  Luckily they were mostly completed before I left.  I really hate leaving before everyone is there and settled.  Not to mention, I’m on call this weekend and through the upcoming week, so the more that is done before I leave, the fewer calls I should get throughout my night while I’m trying to sleep.  I can’t always stay late because I have to pick up my son from daycare.  If I’m late, I’m charged by the minute.  $10 for the first minute and $3 for each additional minute.  Wow!  Does anyone else have late fees at their daycare like this??

After I was able to leave work today, I had to finish up some fundraiser errands.  This will be my third year to have a walk/run event with money raised going to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.  I had to run and deliver a few final shirts and make some signs for our event to be held in the morning.  The event is a lot of work for me, but my daughter really likes holding the event.  She hopes so much for there to one day be a cure for type 1 diabetes.  Tomorrow is supposed to be rainy, so I hope our event isn’t rained out.  We will have it rain or shine, but really are hoping to grow this event.  We are having a bounce house for the kids and a nutritionist is coming to set up a booth as well.  The farmer’s market in town is offering a percent off for people who come to the walk, so hopefully this will help increase participation!

I better head to bed now so I can be rested for the morning.  I’ll post event pictures soon!

Thanks for reading!
