So today was a pretty good day... I drove to the TÜV (weird german thing were they approve that your car is safe for traffic for two years) and I actually got another two years out of my old Opel Astra J... I just had a lot of repairs done, about 1300€ in total. But now it will carry me through my whole retraining and I can get a new car once I have my RN exams done.
Then I called the next place where me and my classmate will do our hospital internship, a neurological clinic/stroke unit. We'll have rooms there for under the week and drive home only on the weekends. He and I get along really well and it should work out nicely. We'll visit there next Wednesday, should be interesting.
I also prepare a speech and some gifts for my favourite ex-colleague/friend who'll have her last day and farewell party next Monday. I tend to get pretty emotional during such times, especially since we've grown really close. It's the best that she also leaves the place I already left, but it's sad to think about all the great times we had there which will never come back... Nevertheless, I firmly believe we'll organise a great surprise party for her and she'll have an unforgettable evening.
Next, a new colleague from my new nursing home texted me today. She's also a re-trainee and wants to transfer to my nursing school. They didn't have a lot of the topics we've already covered, so I'll need to send her a lot of PDFs. However, I'm still happy to help wherever I can. Guess it's just in my DNA, that's probably why nursing is the perfect profession for me!
