Our New Nurse

On Tuesday of this week (Jan. 27, 2009) my oldest daughter, who we’ll call NICUNurse and just graduated from a major university this past December with her BSN) took the NCLEX exam.

She now proudly calls herself NICUNurse, RN, BSN

The number of students in the class is small (not everyone has to [...]

And, they’re off!

It’s official now.
Our cohort has now officially convened and started. There are 41 in total with 11 of us being male. Wow! Twenty-five percent! I expected about half that number.
