Sooo...I have finally taken the leap and will be moving to Nashville on Friday. This is an exciting/crazy/bold decision for me considering how close I am with my family and friends and so on, but it is a decision that I feel in my heart is the right one. Some of you may know details, others may not, so let me catch everyone up...
As I had mentioned in a previous post, I have toyed with the idea of moving. This decision was given a slight push to go for it by a previous situation that I put myself in. This was something that I knew better than doing, (or even trying) so after I finally snapped out of it, I sent the rest of my paperwork in for my license. Less than a week later, I started applying for jobs online on a Sunday night. The next morning I received a call from a nurse recruiter, had an interview scheduled for that upcoming Friday, and was offered the job 2 hours after the interview was over. I took the weekend to weigh my options, but decided that everything fell into place so easily and the offer was such a great one, in the end, I just couldn't turn it down. I will be working in a cancer hospital in downtown Nashville on an oncology/hematology unit on the BMT (bone marrow transplant) floor. This job will definitely have its challenges, but I am very excited for the opportunity and the experience to advance in my career.
I have an apartment in Nashville, in a gated community, (makes me feel much more safe!) in a brand new building. Finally got my water in my name today actually, because I have been waiting for the building to pass inspection. Move-in day will be my first day seeing my home for the next year in person. Crazy, I know. I snagged the very last studio apartment left in that little community, which I was pumped about! (And also took as another sign that this is where I'm supposed to be.)
Moving all alone is going to come with it's challenges and be lonely at times, I'm sure. But, I feel that it will also help me to grow as a person and realize that there is so much more to life outside of my hometown. I also have family in Clarksville, TN that I can call if I ever need them (for emergencies or if I'm just feeling homesick) which provides a lot of comfort in this decision also.
Tomorrow is my last day at my current job, Thursday I will be spending all day packing, Friday is moving day - so I will be taking lots of pictures, posting on social media, and wrapping up my thoughts here on this new adventure...small town transitioning to Music City. This should be fun :)
I can't wait to see tons of pictures and hear about all of your new changes!!
