Interesting Day

So today was interesting. . . slept in a little (which is always nice) and went to my cleaning job. That part was fine. However, the next few hours found me wandering around Delta (our community college) trying to figure out what I was supposed to be doing and where I was supposed to be going to do said things.

But I think I figured it out! Yay!!! All of the steps aren't complete yet. This mildly concerns me as the class starts a week from this upcoming Tuesday. Yike. But a lot of it is taken care of. I'll be take a class through Workforce Development. That just means that the course isn't for college credit. Instead, when the class is over, I will have a certificate that will (hopefully) make me employable. =) The certificate will allow me to be a Health Unit Coordinator. I'm not entirely sure how to explain Health Unit Coordinator, but this is the description that the "professionals" give. . .

"Health unit coordinators work in a hospital or office setting assisting nursing staff with non-clinical clerical tasks. They perform a variety of services for patients, visitors, and hospital management. Health unit coordinators handle everything from maintaining patient charts and scheduling diagnostic tests, to ordering supplies and transcribing doctor's orders. Health unit coordinators also receive new patients and give information and directions to visitors. "

If you read all that, I'm proud of you. =)

Anyway. I'm excited. Methinks I will really enjoy that type of work. . . AND it pays much better than anything I could get right now. So I guess we'll see what happens.

Must go to sleep. I am very sleepy.
