I have a night off!!!!

I haven't thought much about anything besides work, sleeping, and work related requirements in the last two weeks, but I finally have tow nights off in a row! To fill everyone in, I was offered a 6 week contract at the hospital Centennial Hills which is great because I actually get to know the floor and the way things work instead of hopping from one floor/hospital to the next every day I work. The hard part is that it is a 30-60 minute commute depending on traffic and number of accidents on the way. The commute did spur the purchase of a GPS (fun new toy) because of the hour and a half it took me to get home one day due to unmoving traffic on the highway, which led into me (with poor directional sense and very little knowledge of Las Vegas roads) exiting and trying to take the streets home. I'm pretty sure that I did a full circle around city before finding the right end of the street I was looking for. I came home a very exhausted and frustrated Las Vegas nurse. Matt went out that day and bought a GPS for our car (which was on sale) and I LOVE IT!! It is so wonderful for finding anything we need here and it will be great with all of our uprooting and moving for the next few years.

Anyway, that's been the excitement for me unless you want to hear some fun stories and gory details of nursing, but I'll have to call deb or emily for that. I am liking the paycheck since I've been working overtime every week and I get paid double time for any overtime. I think it's worth living in a small hotel room for a few months.
