How are all of you doing? I have some exciting news to share with you! I have a job! HURRAY! After interviewing with the Piedmont Mountainside Hospital last week, I have been offered a night position on their medical-surgical floor! The hospital is in Jasper, which is about 30-40 minutes north of Woodstock. The hospital is really small, it's only 42 beds which includes the 6 ICU beds and the maternity ward! The Med-Surg unit is only 29 beds. In contrast, the pediatric ward in Rundu was 52 beds and the entire hospital was 250 beds! Ha! Ha! I think that transitioning back into American medicine in this small setting will be good for me. Even though it's a small country hospital, it's owned by Piedmont which is a really BIG hospital system in downtown Atlanta. This is great because I will be working in a small hospital but have the benefits of working in a big system. I haven't told Teresa yet, but I know she'll be excited because one of the perks of Piedmont is really cheap Braves tickets! (Piedmont is the system that provides for the Braves) :-) In other great news, my nursing license has finally been reinstated! I have to wait for it to come in the mail, but it will get here in time for me to start work on July 7th!
AIM news
You may remember when I came home that I wrote to you that AIM's policy is to support me for eight months after my return home. You may also remember that I had asked them to only support me for four months. Well, dear family and friends, my time is up! This month, June, is the last month that AIM will be accepting monies on my behalf. If you have automatic payments set up I believe that you must call and have them stopped. Thank you to all of you who have financially supported me throughout these last three years. You have been an amazing blessing to me and words can't describe how grateful I am for your support! Thank you also to those of you who have been my prayer warriors. I couldn't have made it through my time in Africa without you and your loving prayers.
Updates
I will still occasionally be sending out updates on what is happening in my life, but they will by no means be sent out on a regular basis. If you choose not to receive any further updates then please let me know and I will remove you from the list.
I love you all and wish I could give you bug hugs for all the love and support you have given me!
God bless each of you!
