Hello all

Well, I am starting to unwind a bit. Sean's family is here from the east coast and my graduation party was a stunning success. The only downfall is that there were so many people that I didn't really get to spend much time with anyone. However, it was great to see everyone...

Gabi the puppy is doing okay. She actually was doing really well and then she was running after the kids at the party and today she is limping pretty good. However, she can bear bull weight on her leg. She had a plate and 7 screws placed on her radius (the weight bearing bone) and they left her ulna to heal on its own..

Job front...

Well, I am still planning on working at Life Link III for the summer and I have committed to working "on call" at the central ave clinic (with Jody Orfield and where I did my last clinicals) one to two days a week to cover for vacations etc. I figure this will get me geared up for the "real" job whatever that might be. I was also offered a Job at HCMC in express care on thursday but I have to negotiate a salary because the one they came back at was a bit low for my liking ;-) . I had 3 NP colleaugues here last night that have been my mentors and they all said "do not take that job because you will be so bored", I trust them explicitly so I am not sure what will happen. I am going to have coffee with them early this week to discuss this further, just wasn't time at the party..

Boards . . . . . I haven't really started studying yet either. I have tried to listen to the "tapes" by fitzgerald but she has this effect on me that after 10 minutes I am fast asleep. I have done about two chapters of her review book so I need to start seriously studying after the relatives leave (this wednesday).. I have scheduled my boards for June 10th.... Very nervous about them so will need to study...

Anyway enough about me...

I ended turning down HCMC express care as they were not willing to negotiate a salary. Just wasn't acceptable.
