First I'd like to say I'm sorry for not being around much as of late. It's been a very stressful time for me. So much so that....I made a very big decision. As of today, I am no longer employed. Today was my last day working in the nursing home. To be honest, it's worse now than it was before I got hurt. There's never any supplies, no one helps you unless you friggin beg like a dog, they schedule you for doubles when you can't work them, I haven't gotten a yearly pay raise since I started working, New people coming in get paid more than me, negligence is ignored because of short staffing, religious bigotry, flat out resident on employee abuse....I could go on for days. I really could. -takes deep breath and sharply exhales-

Point is, my job was flat out ridiculous. I was crying in the bathroom because I was so overwhelmed one night. I didn't know what to do. I gathered up my courage, called Okami about it after drying my tears and we decided I should leave.

Now, I'm going back to school and 're entering the nursing program. I'll be going in for my nurse practitioner as my final goal. It will be a hard road, but if I fail I have to go back there....so I'm holding my head high and setting my gaze forward. Nothing is going to stop me from reaching my new goal.
