"Hissie Fit"

Never underestimate the power of a "Hissie Fit"

Life is all about give and take. But some issues cannot be compromised. When the situation calls for drastic and dramatic measures, you have to draw a line in the sand, climb up on a soapbox, and protect the hill you are willing to die on.

It's not easy...anything worth fighting for never is. But the most noble thing you can do is stand up for what is right, no matter what the cost.

The problem is your voice can drown amid the roar of the masses. Once in a while you have to stomp your feet, scream at the top of your lungs, and throw a few lightening bolts to be heard.

Never underestimate the power of a "Hissie Fit."

Mountain Ridge

Welp, this is basically my last week working for Mountain Ridge.
Such bitter sweet...

I am looking forward to the next chapter, but this chapter will never be closed for me. MR is where I've learned to be humble, accountable, achieve, and strive.

My residents speak for themselves, they are so wonderful. I can tell you who most everyone is, where they live and what their routine is. I love the feeling of knowing I can make a person feel secure, just by being confident in myself in the job I know how to do.

MR is about the people I work with...The staff is full of many personalities, and no I havent gotten along with everybody, but there are days I can't wait to go to work. The people I work with are exceptional individuals...

The people I work for, is a powerful team... They continue to support us each day. They are there for the staff, ready to jump in and help at anytime, no matter what their title. The director of most of us aides has personally come in and been an aide on the floor, a med tech, a sounding board and a friend any time we need her. Our exectutive director will help serve in the kitchen if their short handed. And our nurse is always willing to answer those questions that I have just forgotten because I'm not a nursing student yet. She allows me to interrupt her anytime, never making me feel like her time is too good.

I love MR. I need to go and experience new things and that's what I'm doing but I can see myself making a home there.

Thank you Mountain Ridge for making a great CNA out of me! Coulda never done it without cha!

July Fever

OMG!!!
I know I havent blogged in months...sorry for all my non-readers, but I actually didn't want to complain. So many ups and downs. I just needed to deal on my own.

But let me tell you now...

My Mom found a job and is looking to her future. Jeff finished 10th grade with honors and starting his junior year he sill take 12 credits of college and attend high school. I told him that if he graduates with good grades for high school and his associates of general education, I will pay for him to go on a school cruise. I will pay for everything, including play money. He went to Washington for 3 weeks and got paid for his work with Aunt Elaine, I let him buy Selena Gomez concert tickets. He is so excited.
Destiney has been doing great since school got out. I feel like all the pressure is off of both of us. She is at her dads and dealing with a few anxiets there.

So my big news...I got a job at McKay Dee Hospital...working Joint and Spine. Let me yell out...I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!

Next...I received another letter reguarding my application into the Nursing Program at DATC...
Dear Susan,
