Song of the Siren

Big News!!!

I quit TCH. Yes, almost 4 years of working at Texas Children's Hospital, I quit, my last day being May 19th. My friends at work brought lunch and brought cupcakes and gave me nice card they all signed. So sweet!!! I will miss TCH, mostly my awesome coworkers. The main reason I quit is because the hospital took the vanpool away this past April. So for two months I have been cummutting by myself which is about an hour commute plus paying the $12 parking to get to work, round trip, around 59 miles. When I had a free ride for almost 4 years with the vanpool, I could not take it and started applying at Methodist Willowbrook. I started May 23rd and now I have a 7 minute commute, round trip, 5.1 miles. My position is not a NICU nurse but a transitional nurse. Basically I will go to every delivery and transition the baby and either send it to the NICU or back to the mom. My first week was all in the classroom last week. Yesterday, Sunday, was my first day on the unit. I went to 3 deliveries-one set of twins. It was very different! We were busy. I would explain more but I don't want to get in trouble or get fired for HIPPA reasons.

Also this past Saturday was my birthday celebration at my parents house. We all had a good time and ate way too much. My mom is the best cook. She made my request of shish kabob, slaw, chinese rice, rolls and my birthday cake was LAVA an ancient Mears receipe that is the best. Plus Ryan and I, or should I say, Guen, revealed the great news! See pics below. Hope you had a great Memorial Day weekend.
