Hiatus due to awesomeness!
Okay, something really super amazing hella awesome happened today.
For those who don't know, my profession is as a caregiver with my specialty being the care of the developmentally disabled (Down Syndrome, Autism, Cerebral Palsy, etc.). Naturally, I've been working on trying to get my CNA because I'm planning on making a proper career out of this and I'm aspiring to be an RN.
So I get a call from the school I took the assessment for to get into the CNA course a few hours ago. Not only did I get in, but I got a perfect score and they want me in the session that starts on Monday.
So, yeah. Hiatus all next week because I got to scramble to get tested for TB and get a physical and a background check for the internship portion and start classes and get books and generally run around like a chicken with its head cut off. Plus on Thursday I'm interviewing for an internship at the hospital and need to prep for that around all of this. I'm going to be busy. I might tag here and there, but things will be slow.

I know how stressful it can get. I worked in a care home for the developmentally disabled for the last three years where the care staff did everything from the nursing care to the housekeeping to the cooking to all the paperwork. Naturally I learned how to manage that stress pretty well by this point and, when I couldn't, most facilities offer really good insurance plans that cover the cost of counseling and therapy to help. So I've had a good counselor helping me, too.

(In hindsight, these comments probably seem a little weird h-haha... I'm just really impressed with how fast/well things are going for you!)

as a result I've been interviewed three times in the six weeks since I've been let go--and now I'm being gunned into the CNA course. It's crazy the luck I have sometimes, man!

It's really fortunate that they're willing to help you out so much! This sounds like an amazing opportunity for you, and I hope that it goes well. Good luck x1,000,000!!

Thanks again and I should try to get to bed before I'm up until midnight squeeing about this.

Good luck, and I'm super glad, as I said.
