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.
