Well I thought I would write and explain what's happened in the past few months. I just finished up my 3rd semester in the nursing program by taking my last final on the 2nd of December. I managed to get all A's in the Obstretics, Nursing ethics, and Pediatrics courses this semester. I haven't got a B yet in the nursing program and hope to keep it that way for my final semester! I've got cardiovascular nursing and neurological nursing courses next semester which will be challenging but very interesting. I've been trying to get ready for Christmas but have procastinated like usual. Rachael is still working hard at the Law Firm here downtown. She works so hard and I'm so appreciative of her work to keep us afloat while I finish up nursing school. I'm looking at possibly going to work at UCLA medical center, the University of Utah, or perhaps a hospital in Arizona (if I can find one that fits what I'm looking for)! I want to get into a RN ICU Residency program so that I can get into the ICU as quick as possible so that I can get a year of experience and be able to apply to Nurse Anesthesia schools. The weather here in Idaho Falls, ID has definitely changed to the winter conditions you would expect the last few days dumping a lot of snow. I'm hoping that here in the near future I'll be out snowmobiling with a nursing friend, Cody, as well as Rachael (she actually said she wants to go with me)!! I've been trying to work out more consistently the past few weeks and have lost a bit of weight and gained back some of the muscle I gained from working out for the fisrt few months earlier this year. All in all, everything is great and looking forward to the new changes that are in sight upon graduating from nursing school!
