I continue to work hard at school, and my jobs. School is going well. I am looking forward to reading books from Chapters instead of books from the school store over the holidays. I'm working a night shift tonight and I have school tomorrow. Since I live an hour away, I find it easier to just sleep in my van in the school parking lot than waste 2 hours commuting home and then back again. It was difficult to not become medium-well in the car during the indian summer days, but now it's a comfortable temperature (with a blanket). All my school work is done for tomorrow. We're handing in a medical research paper critique that was prepared by 3 of us and I'm worried about it. We all individually did our parts but I think that it will make the paper seem choppy. We'll see how it turns out. I have to trust in my fellow students, and hopefully, not let them down as well.
Both my RPN nursing jobs are frustrating me lately. As a part-time staff I have been used by both facilities to fill RN lines. This has created bad relations between staff and management. Not only am I preventing the RN's to get premium pay... I am working in an environment that is not in my scope. This is an unfair practice of management that seems to be happening more frequently. I'll be sure to clarify what line I am being hired for when they call.

All Day At School
I am a very busy lady now that I have returned to school in the RPN bridging program. I have two part-time jobs, one at Whitby Psych and also on a medical floor in a small country hospital. My blog will be set up as journal entries. I will document the struggles and successes of trying to raise a family while working two jobs and going to school full-time. I know that something will be sacrificed, however, at this time, I'm not willing to choose which one.
I welcome any advice from colleagues that are trying to accomplish similar goals. I'm hoping that this blog becomes my inspiration, my venting arena, and my documented success.
