and a renewed sense of self worth!
I have finally made the decision to give up nursing for real.
That really wasn't a hard decision, actually!
Yes, nursing has it's moments but the field has really changed
in the past 12 years that I have been practicing.
in the past 12 years that I have been practicing.
Nurses are nothing but paper pushers (even in this day of computerized medical records, trust me it's easier to write down a quick statement/note on paper)
and we are also the complaint department.
Having spent this whole year in a cardiology office, I couldn't begin to tell you how many phone calls that I have recieved. When I checked my voice mail in between patients, as I am the only nurse, I would have as many as 16 voicemails! OMG!!!
Any way I looked at it there was NOT enough of me to go around.
My stress level was/is at it's highest in my whole life!
So I decided that I had to take care of me!
Hence the decision to use my resources and fall back on my first career/degree which is cosmetology. Of course I have been up and running in my little salon in my yard for a couple years now working very part time at it.
However I have owned much bigger salons in the "city" in the years past but I am ready to settle down here on the farm and plow away at making friends, family and new clients beautiful with each service that I can drag them in here for!! LOL
I know that I have posted my salon name in the past as "Another Wild Hair" but I did not do enough research on that name and I have decided on my new name for my new salon to be
"Hair In The Country"
I think it fits perfectly since the location couldn't get much further off the beaten path!
Hey don't judge, we farmgirls like it that way, right?
I offer hairstyling while specializing in coloring. I guess that's the artist in me!
I am also offering Facial Waxing and Natural Nail Care....
think Tea Tree Oil Nail Soak and a Lavender Mint Manicure.......
Sound Yummy???
I think so and would like one of those myself. Maybe I could talk my girls into treating me as a client in my salon! I am sure they will partake in my services!!
I think I will top it off with a Hot Paraffin Wax Hand Dip in Grape Seed Oil Wax!!
Ooh Laaaaa Laaaaa!!
Would you take a drive to the country for this type of service?
Would you "stay" in the country instead of driving into the city for those services?
Gasoline is only $4 a gallon my friends!
I guess we will find out on or after June 1st!
That is the day scheduled for opening day.
Wow I have a lot of work to do before then.
Oh I also have to work out my 30 day notice at work, three more weeks to go and then I am my own boss again. I can set my own hours and work at my own pace.
All that right here on my farm, just exactly where I need to be!!!
Here's to a new me!!
