long day

I had to work today and I was at a place I'm really not to fond of. I've come to the realization that when I'm there I'll never leave on time. It just confirms that going to school for my RN is my best option right now. I know it's going to be hard and expensive but in the end I'll be able to get a good job with good insurance and at least somewhat steady hours. I had a student with me today and she graduates with her LPN in less than 2 months and she can't find a job in her area. She's looked at all the local hospitals and nursing home and none are hiring. Seems like opportunities for RNs are greater than LPNs. A lot of facilities are doing away with LPNs. I go for my placement test Tues and I'm very nervous about it. I Hope everything goes well and I don't have to take a ton of classes. I'm just hoping for the best.
On a better note, this is the first beautiful day we've had here in a very long time. The sun was shining and it was just perfect for sitting outside. I didn't get to do that but I enjoyed what I could while running errands after work. I got a call from the school nurse that Dakota was sick and needed to go home. Apparently he tole Eric he wasn't feeling well before school and he sent him anyway ( would have done the same). The nurse said as soon as he got off the bus he went to the nurse and the nurse told him to give it about an hour than come back. ell 30 minutes later she said he was back in her office and vomited. So he earned him self a 5 day weekend since there is no school Monday for conferences. He's been on and off tonight. He'll get active far a little then be laying down. He wants to eat everything but I'm making him take it slow. I really don't need more wash to do. He has a soccer game on Sat so hopefully he'll be feeling better to do that. I think there's a stomach thing going around, we've had a lot at work with it.
The other kids are doing well so far. Tomorrow Joel has to finish his science fair project. He's making rock candy. 1 with a seeded string (string is saturated with sugar before putting in water) and 1 with a non seeded string that is untreated. We also tried with brown sugar but it is so dark it's hard to see how it's been growing. The hard part will be getting him to do all the work that will need to go into making the final project.
That's about all the time I have for tonight I'm gonna hang out here for a few more minutes and get to bed. I hope everybody has a good Friday.
