It's really hard to forecast or predict events that may occur to you. Yesterday I was wishing that I did not have clinicals or having to wake up early, yet today have been full of pleasant suprises. I had rotated to another ward dealing with people with mental problems and so far the patients and the staff are friendly and outgoing.
Time past unexpectedly fast today, even though it was a bit dull in the ward. During the lunch break Marlo and I went to the staff kitchen ( I've been entrusted with the mechanical keys) and we happened to pass a sign offering free puppies. We instantly decided that we will own one and immediately rang the owner of the border collies. I will be looking after it on weekends while Marlo will look after the weekdays.
I can't wait to own a pet dog! It's been my childhood dream to get one ever since I had to move out of my Aunt's place. Due to my destiny as a nurse, I have been given the opportunity to own a collie! I understand that it will eventually grow too large for my unit, but I will be keeping it at my house while it is still puppy size. My parents surprisingly did not mind it... maybe it is because they know that this means alot to me.
We are picking it up on Thursday and quite frankly I can't wait! I love nursing... especially mental health nursing. This has been the most positive career move I have ever made.
