I really was planning to update this blog over the summer...haha. I am back now though.
Tomorrow I am flying to Texas to begin my training with Mercy Ships at their International Operations Center in Lindale. I will be spending 5 weeks there with 14 other new Mercy Ships volunteers studying and preparing for service.
Here is a really quick summary of what I been doing the last 5 months:
-I graduated college and took my NCLEX exam. I am officially Suzanne Scheumann, RN, BSN
- I finished the year as a dance teacher. This was my 10th year as a dancer and my 6th on staff.
The program this year celebrated our relationship with our Heavenly Father and our adoption into His family. RTG dancers- I will miss all of you so much! Have a great year praising the Lord with dance!
-I worked as a nurse for a local eye surgeon.
How I happened to come by this job is a long story, but here is the short version: I have been signed up to volunteer as an RN on the Eye Team for Mercy Ships since March. I graduated college expecting to do what I could to earn money over the summer, but not as an RN. Really, who wants to hire an RN for 3 months before she leaves for Africa?
In May I went out for coffee with a friend and her sister, who had just come back from serving with Mercy Ships this spring. It was such a blessing to talk with both of them about being a nurse with Mercy Ships, and through another friend of theirs I found out about an open position for a temporary RN. They wanted a temporary nurse, only for this summer to work with cataracts patients! I applied and got the job, and have spent the summer working as an eye nurse. (a very special thank you to Tallie, Beth, and Erin for that fateful coffee date!)
- I went on a road trip with friends!
- My cousin Katie got married! I was a bridesmaid and the little boys were ring bearers. Congrats to Matt and Katie!
- I spent lots of time with my family, who I will miss so much
that is the last 5 months in a nutshell. more posts to come.
