Just wanna say hi

Hello! I am taking a couple hours for myself. I have been doing school work non-stop 12-14 hours a day when I am not in clinical and I have to take a bit of a break. I actually popped open a beer. I should be asleep in a couple hours since I had 3 hours sleep last night! A special thank you to my husband for taking care of me. I wouldn't have any clean clothes if it weren't for you honey! You are such a great Dad, keeping that youngest kid of ours on track....

Bet you can't wait for your turn? Don't worry it's coming!

FRHG Cancer Center

I am the biggest fan in the world of Woodland Healthcare. However, today I was so very impressed with the Cancer Center in Marysville that I had to say something! I have never seen a more beautiful setting for cancer patients to receive their treatments. There is beautiful landscaping (Japanses garden like) outside of each treatment room so the clients have something nice to look at instead of an ugly parking lot. The people that work there are just as amazing as the setting. Not only were they kind and helpful, they are so knowledgeable. I learned so much today. If I wasn't so set on being an emergency department nurse, I would definitely consider going into this field.

Made me laugh....

Tell me I did the right thing...

I have been waiting for the last couple days to see how I did on our second exam in Med Surg. I hate waiting. I got home from lecture today and quickly signed on to the class website to see my grade. Wahoo 84%! So, I go through the test to see which ones I missed. I get to the bottom of the test and notice that one of the questions say I got 11/2 points. That is impossible! I quickly scroll up and count the number of questions I got wrong...wow, way more that the 9 I originally thought I missed. I stare at the test...what do I do? I want that B real bad. But, Katie, I say to myself, you always pride yourself on your honesty and integrity. I know but... No buts, I say to myself. I sigh as I pick up the phone and call my instructor. I am thinking that I got a D on the test. After she corrects the error, she calls me back and lets me know that I actually did pass with a 71%. Not my proudest moment, but at least I passed and I can sleep at night!
