Hunt for an Internship

Today I woke up and started my day with my morning chores (Always do!). After I did that, I was suppose to go to BJ's restaurant with a bunch of people I knew back in HS, but then it turns out that the plan was a fake -_- So anyways, as I was upstairs in my room, I began to think about my future and my priorities! I logged onto my laptop and automatically visited different sites for hospitals around the area.

You see, I am trying to become a nurse and trying to find an internship somewhere that relates to my field. I come across a couple hospitals in mind, so I got dressed up, skipped lunch, and went to start my hunt! I first went across the street to this new clinic that was built in Sunnyvale. I waited and waited and even searched around for someone to help me but there was nothing...kinda weird huh?! anyways, I spoke to this lady and she just informed me to get info at the valley med hospital on Bascom. I then drove to Kaiser in Santa Clara to look for some opportunities. I wanted to aim for the ICU and speak to a nurse whether I could intern in the summer but she told me to check with the medical office across the hospital; She wished the best for me though and she had hope for me :) I stopped over at the office and suddenly the manager had gone for lunch :/ I had missed it by a bullet...so then I waited for about 30 mins but someone had just told me to come back. I snook in her office and took her business card and office card so that I would be content at least.

I finally went and tried the volunteer office where I can possibly help out during the summer and throughout the year just to get some experience and a certificate of proof to back me up. :)
I am not done yet though, I have to keep trying to get an internship somewhere! Today is just day 1 and I will keep going further.

-As of right now, I am going to contact the medical office and consult with whoever to find a spot. wish me luck! I will let you guys know what happened, but until then....
