It's official. I am a college graduate!! Can I get a whoop whoop?!!! I know, the fact that our school still makes us wear these dresses and caps is pretty lame. They say its tradition. I say, change the tradition. I think for as bad as it is, it's actually pretty cute. I've already had many requests from people to borrow my "naughty nurse" outfit. I may think about renting it out... he he. I just have to have it back in December when we actually have our pinning ceremony. Now I am on the job search. I think I'm going to look into working at the Maricopa burn center. They actually let us go shadow there for a day and see if it's something you might be interested in so I'm going to do that and if I like it, I'll apply. So, I'm going to post a few more pitures of school then my blog will turn back into a family blog and not just a random Kenra being psycho in school blog.
This is our whole summer group. There were 20 of us and 19 of us graduated. Pretty impressive because this summer thing was nearly impossible.


This is during our peds rotation. This poor kid needed a new IV started and four different nurses tried and could NOT get it. They were geting ready to call someone from Phoenix Childrens Hospital to come and try but my instructor heard that my friend Dustin was really good at getting difficult sticks so they decided to let him try and..... he got it on his first try. Pretty impressive This is me after I "helped" Dustin start the IV (I handed him supplies. Very important job)

This is also during our peds rotation. This baby had a heart condition and was also abused. He NEVER smiled. So I was trying to work on that. I did get a smile from him.

This is a group of the girls in class. I think we're all looking a little brain dead. I think I may have forgotten to wear makeup this day.
Last day of clinicals. This is Dustin and Jill fooling around waiting to have their final evaluation done. NERDS!!

I'm sure if Desiree and Courtney read my blog, they'll be mad at me but this is such a perfect picture to illistrate what the semester did to us. Check our Courtney's enormous yawn! It's awesome! Courtney, by the way is the only one in our class who didn't have to take the final because she is miss smartie pants. Whatever to miss smartie pants :). I got a C in class and it is the best C I have ever earned. It meant more to me than any A I've ever earned.
The moral of the story is, I'm done. No more journals, no more evaluations. I'm done. Until I start my bachelors program. But it won't be anything compared to this.

CONGRATS!!!

LOVE the yawn picture.

I think the nurses outfit picture is DARLING. You look great in it!

And that picture with the little baby just melted my heart. Sooo sweet.

I bought a chocolate fountain, by the way. Not a fancy one, just 3 tiers...but so, yanno, if you ever need one you know where you can find one :)
