Finally up to date!!!

After this post, I will finally be caught up!!! I will try to keep the blog updated as life goes on, but I can't make any promises ;)
I am currently on assignment in West Palm Beach, FL!!!My travel nurse friend, Jen, moved here with me and we started at Palms West Hospital on the same day. It's always nice to know at least one person in every new place!! We have only been here for 2 weeks, but so far it has been great! This place is absolutely beautiful! I have been enjoying the warm weather too!!! And the good thing is, I have 12 hr shifts, so I will only be working 3 days per week!!! I think I will be spending lots of time in the sun :)

Here are some pics that I have taken so far:







Today, Jen and I went to this restaurant on the intracoastal waterway in Boyton Beach called Two Georges. I had a lobster melt sandwich and it was delicious!! Later, we took a stroll down A1A in Palm Beach and checked out the beach for a little bit. 














Still in the South...

Next assignment: back to New Orleans!!!!
I went back to New Orleans to work at Ochsner Medical Center- Kenner. Same hospital system, just different facility. I lucked out having this assignment!!! Susan, a nurse I worked with in Pensacola owns a home in New Orleans and she rents out the studio that is attached to the house. It just happened to be available for the months I was going to be living there. It was so great!! I lived in a cute little studio on Carondelet in the Garden District! Kenner was such a small hospital and a close-knit group of co-workers. I made some really great friends! I fit in with this hospital like I worked there all of my career. It was awesome! Plus, I was able to hang out with my friends from the big Ochsner on the weekends as well. I was very sad to leave this assignment and these great people!! 

My fabulous co-workers:



 
                                               






A week after I started in NO, I went on my annual vacation to Key West, FL for Fantasy Fest. 







Here are some pics of my previous co-workers. Kristen is expecting and I was able to attend her gender reveal party-Mardi Gras style!


 



In November, I was able to do The Color Run. I must say, that was one of the most fun things I have ever participated in!! It was soooo much fun!! A few of my friends came to participate in it too!!!





I was able to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays at home with my friends, family and precious dogs!!!







My friend Angie came to visit a couple of times and we went to a Saints game (thanks to tickets from Tommy and Shirilana Hanson) and spent New Year's Eve on Bourbon Street. I also had a couple of other visitors too!!











In January, I went to the Compass Bowl to watch the Rebels kick some major booty!! Hotty Toddy!!
