so plans have changed since last i wrote. i heard from several different hospitals since and the direction that things are now taking is that i will be going to Raleigh NC, to take a med/surg position at a hospital at the Central Prison there. Quite exciting to me really. I am interested in the change of scenery and the change of patient type. It is an all male prison and from what i understand the inmates are all sentenced to at least 10 or 20? years. I have talked to several people who have done prison nursing(for all of you who are having the shocked and worried thoughts) and they tell me that it is a breeze. The environment is always super controlled and the patients are well behaved. Probably more so than just regular patients are. God only knows we get some psychotic weirdo's as patients where i work now and there is no control over them. So i think it will be a welcome change. Now to just figure out all the little details of moving, etc.

...i bought myself a keyboard. finally. i had been thinking about it for some time. i had been really missing the relaxation that i get from just sitting down and playing music, and so now finally i can and it feels really good. i have missed it more than i realized. it's a very healthy form of destressing.

As to other things...life is an ongoing enigma which i think i shall never solve. I am just hoping that i can at least get some of the pieces right.

(yes i am very much enjoying my keyboard:)
