First Post

Well, school begins this week. So I figured that in honor of my 2nd year of what is sure to be filled with anxiety, failure, sucess and lots of poop, I should start a blog that will communicate all the joys and frustrations of nursing to my very squemish friends (like Terrence).

Currently I'm working as a CNA (that's a nurse's assistant) at Alvarado Hospital. I've worked there for about 7 months so far. So I feel like I'm ready to get back in the swing of things. My clinical rotations will be at Children's Hospital and Sharp Memorial, both of which are very close to my residence. Very convenient.

Expect a couple rants about quality of care, hospital policy and my growth pains as I become accustomed to my new calling as a servant to the sick and dying. I hope that what I learn and have to say will somehow reflect God's good news for the world. I have hope for this because the blog will be really sad if doesn't and because I need to be met by Him every day if I'm going to be in the field of healthcare at all.
