I know I officially announced on facebook my change in jobs but I haven't been able to really discuss it much yet until recently. I have accepted the position as the Occupational Health Nurse for the John Deere Foundry in Waterloo! I am so excited. It is still weekend option (which, hello, saves me tons on daycare!) and with the change in hours I will be home even more on the weekends. Right now I work 7a-7:30p Sat and Sun. So I see the boys Friday night and maybe 15 minutes Sat and Sun because I leave before they are up and they go to bed at 8pm and I don't even get home until around then. With this new job I work Friday night and Saturday night 10:30p-11am. So, I dont have to leave for work until the boys are in bed Friday night, and I plan on staying at my parents in Waterloo to sleep Saturday during the day (because I don't see the boys anyways now on Saturdays, they won't know the difference) and then Sunday after work I will go back to my parents and nap for a few hours and then I should be home by 1 or 2 Sunday afternoon and then I will go to bed normally Sunday night. Sundays are like my favorite day so I am excited to be able to have some family time now once I am home! Plus this new job helps pay my last three semesters of my post masters certificate for my nurse practitioner degree! They are all so nice and I am starting on the job training this week. My last weekend at Mercy is next weekend as well! I will have a few weeks of training before I go back to weekends so I will even have a few weekends off while training which I am so excited about! My new boss and coworkers seem amazing and I am so excited to be working in occupational health, something that always interested me and an area where I could see using my Nurse Practitioner liscence. I think this will be a great learning experience and a nice change of pace. It sucks I have to commute, but really its only like twice a week which isn't that big a of a deal to me. Plus, it is making my family proud to have me work for John Deeres lol, but in realty I am an Allen Hospital employee who is contracted by J.D. :) The other perk... for every five weekends I work, I get a weekend off, yay! Right now, I get two weekends off every six months , yuck. I am staying prn (work as needed) at Mercy in my department because I really do love what I do, but I am so excited for a change. Maybe I will actually see some people I know at the foundry? Heres to a new beginning!
