Well, I read Cat's Cradle yesterday. I enjoyed it and can see why Shane thinks Vonnegut is so cool. I also had to work last night. It was a very good night and went very well. I worked with three travellers...apparently travel nursing is the way of the future. They are taking over the night shift in all units at French. I am thinking it might be something I should look into after we are done up here. One of the guys was telling me I could virtually work in San Diego, as a traveller, just switching between the hospitals. You can stay at one place sometimes up to a year, then move on to the next job. The travel companies pay a ton more, offer living erxpenses, benefits, and there are opportunities everywhere. Sounds like it might be a good idea. We have two new travellers at work, Marc and Melanie. They are French Canadian and very cool. He speaks several languages, including French, English, Japanese, Spanish, and a few others. He also apparently is a trapeze artist. Melanie is a little younger than I am and is the sweetest thing with her French accent. She works with us on Med-Surg, but also works with the babies. They don't know anyone up here and I mentioned we should all get together. They were very excited at my offer and we all spent time trying to coordintae our schedules. We have to wait until after next week, but it should be fun. They are both so interesting and fun to talk with. Could Shane and I possibly make some new friends??
