Hi, HOw's it?

I am going to have more of a read through your thread another time, if you don't mind. What a lovely lady you are.
Are you a nurse?

YESSSS, MS. PIXEL IS MY 200th post! How am I?? How are you? Its nice to see you around these parts again!


And yes, (hopefully) in 8 weeks I'll be a licensed practical nurse. I'm having clinicals on a Cardiac floor this session and I'm lovin' it. Also went to a daycare today and the toddlers were lovely.

How awesome for you! I went back to school a while ago, graduated last year- and practical nursing was my top pick, but I went with the 'easier one' which was stupid, in retrospect..so I find myself regretting, Life is not for regrets, therefore I just applied for the Jan 2011 intake in the practical nurse program. If I had just done it right in the first place, I'd be right with you now. haha...
So do you love it?

I know I will ..... I just know it.


Good for you!!!

Ooooo, awesome! Good luck with that! I have a friend in Manitoba who's also awaiting a response for the fall BSN program. What degree did you end up getting? And what area of Nursing are you planning to be in?

And right now, I have never loved clinicals as much as I do now. I feel more in my element now, and very comfortable with assuming the role of the nurse. I want to do Pediatrics (where I work now as a CNA) but this Cardiac Med-Surg stuff is FUN.

You know, I am going to let it evolve, as it could change completely as I learn.. I mean, I have ONLY been told they received my application. so it's a long road ahead, and changeable.. although this time I won't talk myself out of it. I have a major interest in breastfeeding/babies/post/ante natal support for babies and mothers. It's a real passion. And of course, children. I have a knack and I am goofy which they like, babies often stop crying and smile at me...and I just adore taking care of innocents...but that could totally change once I am in the program and experience new things..I am open to the flow of life.
I went back for Medical Office Administration, and it's at the same College/University. Same amount of time, etc...I figured this one would be similar enough, but I have been out of school over a year, and I got great grades etc, and apply all the time- with no luck, so I chose the field that was so saturated no one wants to hire anyone.I will regret not trying out at least, for my original choice, which was nursing. So that's what I shall do!
I am excited that you love what you are doing and will do! That's exciting and hopeful and inspiring!

Ah, I like the pediatric side of OB, and I did have nice experiences with the people who worked throughout the whole Peripartum area. I've noticed that Nurses are happier on specialty floors in general as opposed to just regular Med-Surg. My first clinical on a regular Med-Surg floor and you could tell the nurses were kind of burned out. But in OB, Geriatrics, and Cardiac they've all been pretty happy to help you out.


And that surprises me that they aren't hiring in Medical Administration, or perhaps Canada is different? Here there's a huge shortage all around of medical staff. =\

I love this show, its probably the only one involving vampires that I would ever watch. Its also proof that the British are farrrrr better at doing Vampyres than Americans are. Have you ever seen the U.S. version of this show? (bleh) Twilight? (hurl) True Blood? (meh) Enough said.

And I also love how easy it is to pick out certain astro "themes" on here. On this show, there's an obvious water triplicity...in the form of houses none the less...but its obvious. (SPOILER ALERT BELOW)


Annie is the 12th house, especially in the second season. Between her obvious sensitivity to not knowing where she belongs, I can't help but relate. There's 'secrecy' surrounding her death, and she pretty much 'invisible' until Mitchell and George come around. She does become visible to others again with confidence, but adverse events always send her into a relapse. By series 3 it seems she believes her purpose is what she does for other people (mainly Mitchell/George/Nina), also very Piscean. But in true fashion, the 12th house and the 8th unite (her and Mitchell) and hey, it makes sense since they are both 'dead' in a way. But he saves her, and she saved him too.

Mitchell - is obviously the 8th house. But not in the annoying brooding way that you'll find with your Edward Cullens or whatever. Mitchell is not a wet blanket. He's actually very laid back and easygoing (staying true to the actor's Gemini Stellium I guess)but he's always fighting a darkside at the same time. Maybe there's some saturn in there too? He's often dubbed the unofficial father figure since he's been on this earth longer and is very wise for someone who still looks 25. In the show, his vampire lust for blood is even compared to a drug addiction, a compulsion. Yeah, you might think neptune...but its plutonian at its finest because he's only freed in the end through death.


George is the 4th house. The key word that comes to me is self-preservation, in the first season. As a new werewolf, he stays away from people and most social contact for fear of exposing himself and endangering them (Cancer/4th is about protection all around). He's also literally ruled by the moon, as what happens to him every 28 days? By the 2nd Series he tries to find a dubious way to get around it, but in the end...he ends up with one of his own (Nina), one person who will understand and relate to him things that others cannot (in typical Cancerian fashion). By series 4 you start to here the concept of the "wolfpack" which is definitely 4th housey-Cancerian, but they don't really explore it much, I guess since McNair was too paranoid and revengeful. Between his time of and month, and strong need to protect the house...I just can't help but love him. Funny, neurotic, quirky, somewhat complex, that's George.

Brandon Flowers from the Killers: Late Gemini or Cancer Sun? Maybe his best song written, "Read My Mind", that I've had on repeat all day gives the answer? Its classic Cancer Man rhetoric IMO. Then again, even as a 29th degree Gemini Sun, it would still be conjunct his dispositor (Mercury) in Cancer. Ah, who knows.....

I also never fully appreciate the complexity of Kurt Cobain until I'm listening to old Nirvana songs again. 'Lithium' seriously makes me want to cry, and I don't say that about many things other than some movies. Incredibly sad.

And I'm running into all sorts of Cancer themes just in time for the Summer Solstice. Hooray.

Teachings of Don Juan...the first Carlos Castaneda book I'm getting because I desperately need to. Writing this here and in other secret places so I don't forget once school is over.

Ah, now I know something useful to post....a list!! Its not Cap Rising talking at all, I consider this more of a Virgo Moon's to-do-list. Yep, pretty much a rundown of every loose end I need to be tied, and things I need to do after nursing school. Because honestly, when I feel like things aren't "done", I go crazy. So here I have the 7 things that need to be done after Nursing School.


1). Get a hold of that Carlos Castaneda book. Thanks to an anonymous Virgo Rising on another site (I just love how they cut to the point), I've come to realize there are some serious holes in my aura that I need to fill. I like to kid myself that I am an overcautious Virgo Moon, but its time to face the music: I have a mercury-neptune opposition and an steroidal Aries Mars in the 3rd, I have not been as impeccable nor careful as I want to think I am. And this is as evidenced by the series of unfortunate events that has been my week so far. Its not a recent development either, but I believe this dilemma has reached a boiling point with the nasty eclipse from Friday and the completetion of the Cardinal Grandcross....all hitting my early Cardinal planets in Aries and Cancer. So for starters, its the "Teachings of Don Juan" which is suppose to be every Carlos learned from a Peruvian Shaman who went by that namesake.


2. Road trip to the Mountains. Can you believe I've been in North Carolina since 2008 but I still have not been any farther West than Charlotte's International Airport? I gotta see the Blueridge and not from the touristy-skitrip perspective. I am just driving my car to one of the Indian Nations and taking it in. I think it'd be good for my neurotic Virgo Moon if it were some place where it felt at home.


3. See the familia overseas. Its been almost 11 years since I've flown back to the motherland, and waaaay too long. I've heard alot has changed in some places, and if there is one place I'm not ashamed to be nostalgic about, it's the country my parents and aunties call home.

4. Determined to get into an RN program. This is pretty self explanatory....while I feel that LPNs are no different from RNs, the workplace doesn't agree. Its been increasingly exclusive of LPNs who are taught most of the same things as RNs, albeit in a shorter time period. Its sad, but if I want more employment opportunities this is the one way I have to utilize my Cap Ascendant and climb up the ladder, its this way. :\

5. Cut out every toxic link, association, and interaction in my life. I've realized now that the only way to satisfy the Plutonian side of my moon is to do the Virgo side of it too. Emotionally I feel like a Cat, whenever I walk into any situation there's always 10 angles to percieve it from. Its driving me batshit crazy. So from now on, I'm keeping every interpersonal aspect of my life very simple in true Virgo Moon fashion. I may be a bit more sane after the fact.

(sidetrack: Would you believe that a highschool dropout represented themselves in Court? They may have been either really bold or really stupid.)


6. Open up "The Travels of Marco Polo" or "Ibn Battuta". I'm a Virgo Moon, I enjoy documentaries and narratives on different things. So naturally I find anthropology in the Middle Ages a MUY remarkable thing. The latter guy I named traveled to my homeland and unbiasedly reflected on it, and THAT, I find surreal.

7. Lose 30 lbs. I had little issue doing this last year since once my Aries Mars finds an exercise routine (ZUMBA!) it sticks with it. Unfortunately...Nursing School also happened too. Now with that out of the way, I'll be able to go back to the gym.

8. Pay off all my Legal Fees. I owe over 300 dollars in Court Costs (please don't ask) which doesn't seem like alot, but when you're Capricorn boss is shafting you when you need shifts, you can feel the pinch. I can barely make enough money to put gas in my car!

Officially licensed to practice Nursing in the State of North Carolina and associated Compact States (like...VIRGINIA, YEAAH BEECHES <3) with no restrictions or endorsements.

Now we're getting somewhere.
