Working In Alaska!!!

Hey y'all!!! :) Guess what!! I started work a couple days ago!! I work in the hospital here in Alaska!! It is so much fun! I work in the long term care unit and so its basically like a nursing home. But we only have 16 residents! I work nights!! They are 12 hour shifts! I like those so much better than the 8 hour shifts I was doing at The Lob in The Geezy!! :) Yay! Well... all of my residents are Native and they still use some of their Native language! It is super cool, and I have already learned quite a few words from them! They are just so darn cute! I already have my schedule for my whole time of being here and I basically work every night. So therefore the rest of my time here will be spent like so... Work from 7P-7A and then come home shower and sleep till about 5P and get up and ready and start all over again! :) Ha! Unless Viv and her family have something outrageously fun to be doing during the day then this will be my life for the next six weeks!! :) Um... Let's see... all the people I work with CNA's and Nurses included are traveling CNA's and Nurses!! I have never heard of such a thing... so therefore I will explain it to you just in case you haven't either... A traveling CNA/Nurse works 13 weeks in some place and then goes home for 1 week and then to a different place for 13 weeks! Kind of fun cause you get to travel and see other places!! But it would be hard cause just as you get attached to the residents you would have to leave again! But they do get paid bank though! Well.. it's about that time again... gotta start walking to work!! Bye!!
