Since I passed my NCLEX, the certification test for me to become a licensed registered nurse, I have been looking for a job as a new graduate. I applied to placed nearby home, but also to places across the country, including the Veteran's Hospital in Beckley, West Virginia. About a month ago, I had a phone interview with Beckley, WV VA hospital. I didn't think it went very well, and I received an email about a week later saying sorry, they had selected a different candidate. After that, I went on applying to other hospitals, and didn't really think much about it again. Until last Thursday.
Last Thursday I received an email from Beckley VA. I called them, and they offered me a position as a nurse at the hospital, which I accepted. I leave California for West Virginia on October 14th, and begin work on October 24th. I am both excited and scared at the same time. I've been looking around Beckley on Google. Allow me to just say, things are going to be A LOT different than here in California, especially in the Bay Area. There's no Marina Asian Market, no In N' Out, and no Kara's Cupcakes. I'll definitely be missing those things. But they have a wonderful family-oriented community, and lots of community events, and outdoor activities. I look forward to discovering different adventures out there which I will be sure to document in words and pictures for you guys. Stay tuned for more updates coming soon.
