$\"Yum!$ <\/p>\n

I turned 26 yesterday and had a wonderful day! It’s my first birthday since I started school of any sort that I’m not<\/em> in school, the first birthday in a long time where I’m not juggling studying for midterms and prepping for clinical. Sometimes it doesn’t feel like I’ve accomplished a lot in my life, but in the last year I successfully completed two preceptorships, graduated from nursing school “with distinction”, wrote and<\/em><\/span> passed the NCLEX, and got my foot into the door with a casual RN position. So I’d say I accomplished\u00a0something<\/em> over the last year!<\/p>\n

$\"Breakfast$ <\/p>\n

With my family, we went to Denny’s for breakfast. I opted for a breakfast with blueberry pancakes and got my eggs sunny side up. With my friends, we went to afternoon tea at a lovely little tea salon. There was a mix of savoury and sweet food items that were a delight. It was a great atmosphere with beautiful decor and even more wonderful company. It was fun to catch up with friends. Some haven’t seen each other since my last<\/em> birthday party. Many of the gifts I received were tea relate, as my friends probably could deduce that I must really like tea if I a) wanted to have my birthday celebration at a tea salon and b) have a tea blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

$\"Apparently$ <\/p>\n

The day was capped off with a great seafood (prawns!) feast with my family, and cake – because cake is the best!<\/p>\n

I’m glad that my schedule worked out the way it did so I could celebrate my birthday on<\/em> my birthday – and that others weren’t busy too!<\/p>\n

This week on Monday & Tuesday, I have orientation (still) – but I will hopefully get my schedule for when I get my mentorship hours\/shifts! My hope is that I get my mentorship hours done before too far into December so I can get placed onto the call list for the winter\/holiday\/flu season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
