Starting Back Office classes

Well I have started my 13th week of MA classes. I received my score today on the final we took last Friday for my last 6 week class. Get ready, are you ready? I got 100%. Yea!!! I am so excited because on all of my other finals I missed 1 on each. This is the first one that I did not miss any. My average so far for all of the classes I have taken (and there have been 8) in the past 12 weeks is 99.5% . I am now in a class where we are doing vitals. You know taking blood pressures, temperatures, pulse rates, respiration rates, height and weight. I took vitals on 3 different patients today and only have 47 more to go before I finish classes and go out to my exturnship. That will be in 17 1/2 more weeks. Wow!!! I have to get on the ball and figure out what specialty office I want to work in, so I can try to find a place to be sponsored for my exturnship. My exturnship starts on November 22, 2010 and lasts for 5 weeks. Forty hours a week for 5 weeks, equaling 200 hours. Then I graduate and start too work (hopefully right away). I sure miss all of my friends in Safford. If any of you know of a medical facility that will be needing a Medical Assistant in January, let me know. Maybe it will pay well enough that Jon and I could move back. Of course Jon would have to get a job there too, but who knows, maybe Freeport will be needing Electricians by then. Prayers are welcome. God willing it will come to pass.

Our latest ordeal!!

Well as you may already know, Jon's car broke down on him on his way to work Sunday afternoon. He made it about 5 miles down the road and I got a call to come pick him up. Luckily for us, and by the grace of God, I have a friend who ownes a car hawling business. She came and picked up the car for us and took it to our house and backed it right into our garage. Thank you Kenda.

Normally Jon works day shift, but Sunday was his first day filling in for a guy that had just retired, until the position could be filled full time. So since he is, for now, working 2:30 to 10:30, once we got his car home he was able to take my car and go into work.

We went to several of those buy-here pay-here places in Mesa to see what we could possibly do about getting another vehicle. Much too our suprise we were financed for a 2005 Chrystler PT Cruiser. It is not exactly our dream car, but it is what we could afford.

The new car is above.

Thank you God for blessing us with your grace.

11 weeks in!

Well I haven't been on her in a while. I have been very busy with school. I have just finished my 11th week. YEA!! Next week is my last week in front office, then I am moving on to back office. Things have been quite interesting up to this point. I am once again certified in First Aid and CPR. The last time I was certified was when I was a Girl Scout Leader. Wow that has been some time ago. lol These classes are extremely excellerated. We have a test at least every other day and sometimes twice a day. I think that the cobwebs have been dusted off of my feable brain. lol Now if I can just get it to regergitate what it has absorbed. lol I wish I would have been able to stay in Safford so that I could have been around all of my good friends there. I miss you all so much, but I know God planned for me to be here right now and who knows, maybe Safford is in my future. I can always hope! :o)
