Hawaii

I was tired of reviewing today and so I was just surfing the net for hospitals that would accept new graduate RNs because not too many hospitals here in Ca are hiring new graduates without experience so it's not only a problem of the 3rd world countries anymore. Even the 1st world is experiencing this dilemma now. So I was surfing, I got curious of how Hawaii is doing as to their employment. To my surprise, I liked what I read from one of the hospitals there. They offer a new graduate training program with pay! Depending on the unit you want to be in, it corresponds to the number of weeks they will train you. For me, I've never decided on a specialty yet but my mom encourages me to have one in case there are openings and so I can be trained in those specialty areas. It got me thinking to Peds. NICU is a specialty unit, and it just randomly fit my aura. I'm petite and taking care of adults here in US, I mean seriously? They are heavy and so I don't know if I can handle working with adults that long without annoying other RNs for help all the time haha. NICU is a very delicate specialty. My mom was surprised when I opened asking about NICU if it's a specialty. She said yes and gladly that one hospital in Hawaii offers new graduate programs for NICU too. Hmm... more inspirations! My mom said to apply in Hawaii after I pass the board exam because it's a pretty deal come to think of it. I mean imagine, being able to work in Hawaii??? I know I never did imagine that. I dreamed of having a vacation in Hawaii but working there? hahaha, that''s a first! It's really inviting. It's luring me and pressuring me more to pass this exam. Phew! As I said, one step at a time because I can't afford to miss even just one step anymore. I have so many plans to make this year and the next year. And I'm going to have a list here soon of those plans that I'll be making and doing. I miss my fiance. Sometimes I wish I can just fast forward to the time I can be in his arms again and we can both be working, earning and living together. So much to accomplish, I'm already hyperventilating just typing this post. HELP ME LORD!
