Nursey is back

Well it has been a scary time for me. Money has been really tight. The Farrier (Horse Shoeing) business has not been going well for me. I've tried applying for other jobs but have not had much luck. After a lot of thought I have decided to return to Nursing (Was a RN in Tauranga back in 2003) after nearly 5 years of not working as one. I had until September this year to get a job Nursing or I would have had to do a return to Nursing course ($1300 of full time study). Applied to the Nursing Council for an Interim Practicing Certificate so I could apply for a job as a RN in Whangarei's Orthorpaedic (Bones) Ward. Had the interview Monday. Was nervous as hell. Really hate interviews. They told me that them would ring on Wednesday to let me know. Wednesday came and went. Not call. I really thought that I hadn't got the job (I really suck at interviews).

Well just a few minutes I got a call from the Charge Nurse ta say I've got the job

I am so relieved. Yep even happy.

OK I still have some hard work ahead of me. Got ta do 60hour of Profession Development before November and get tested for competency, but still at least ball is rolling now.

PS: My Biker Nick for BOP CC's was "Nursey". Yer I know. Not the best of Nicks, but one I grew to appreciate.

Congrats Doug,

Next time you're down this way you can combine all your skills at once. One horse with locked stifle, so very difficult to shoe - needs shoeing; one horse with colic, needs nursing; one motorcyclist with only one working arm - needs shooting.
