Torn between two programs!

So I posted a few days ago that I really want to be a Jayhawk! Well, I will always want to be a Jayhawk....LOL. But I'm torn between going to KU or MNU. MNU is where I got my BSN...and all my files are already there...transcripts...I already know the faculty...the campus...I love the people there...

MNU is supposed to have a graduate nursing program up and running by January...so I'm praying that it all falls into place so that I can go there! Maybe someday I'll make it to KU for my NP or Ph.D. Who knows?! The possibilities are endless...

BSN!

My family after I graduated MNU! Carl, Ashley, Josh, Me, Dad, and Mom!


Well aren't I a slacker? I never posted a blog saying that I graduated from MNU!!!





I graduated May 3rd with my Bachelors of Science in Nursing :)





Now my title is: Sarah Miller RN, BSN, CMSRN :)

Grad School...

Well I started filling out my application for Grad School today - wow...it's a lot of paperwork. Filled out my FAFSA online. Need to give people some forms to fill out about me, update my resume, and fill out a letter of intent. I'm super excited! If I get in I will start January 2010 for a Masters of Nursing in Organizational Leadership!

I can't WAIT to be a JAYHAWK!!!

I've always wanted to go to KU...the application isn't due until October...so I'm sure I won't hear back until November...maybe December. I will have to take a graduate level statistics class...either this fall or in January with my nursing classes.

Wish me luck!!!

Trying Times...

Josh hasn't found a job yet....but today FINALLY applied for unemployment. Thank God!!! I've only been trying to get him to do that for forever. He wanted to finish the year out at the bus barn!

In new news...I got my hair dyed back to my natural color last night and got my eyebrows waxed...really needed that!

I got a call this morning from KCKCC calling to schedule an interview for a job I applied for a month ago. Just assumed I woudn't hear anything from them. So Monday I will be in an interview. I'm very nervous - haven't had an interview in almost 5 years! The position is for a full time clinical instructor. Everyone thinks I'll be great at it...now I just have to give myself a little support :)

If I get the position I would still work weekend option at PMC. Don't want to give up my job there...but need something different to do during the week instead of picking up extra days all the time. I'm ready for a change :)

Well...I probably better get off here and get to my Management Council meeting at work!

Sorry it has been so long since I've written!

Bad News is an Understatement!

Josh called me yesterday and told me he had bad news. Okay so I thought he got a ticket or something...boy do I wish he had gotten a ticket!

Josh got layed off. Sucks. I was pretty much hysterical. I called my Dad and started saying assenine things like "Well we can just shut off all the utilities and move in with you guys." LOL.

His boss is giving him 2 weeks severance pay - which helps because at least for 2 weeks we should be okay on bills. I plan to work as much extra as possible - days or nights...whatever I have to do until he gets another job. Ugh.

Just when you think you're doing okay and your bills are getting paid...and life is good....

Life throws you a curveball.

Pray for Josh and I - mostly Josh as he tries to find a new job.

Thanks for listening.

Cardio...

As part of my training for the 3 day I not only walk the designated miles each day/week, but I also do 2 days of 30 minutes of cardio each week as well to build up endurance. I don't like the idea of getting on an elliptical...the bikes are ok....so I got to thinking about what I used to love most when I worked out at my old gym...

WATER AEROBICS!!!

Water aerobics are a great way to get cardio and strength training in...they are low intensity for your joints but high intensity for your heart and body! I never worked out harder than when I did aerobics. So I think I'm going to do them at the Y - I can go MWF from 06-07. It wouldn't be too bad because I can beat the rush of people...and usually water aerobics classes are full of old ladies or big girls like me so it should be okay. I actually have suits too b/c I bought like 4 or 5 when Josh and I went to Arkansas.

Well anywho, then if Josh wants to go work out in the evenings at the Y he can have his workout time as well - I think I'm going to get him an Ipod for his birthday so he can have something to listen to while he works out.

Well that's enough rambling for now...thanks for reading...
