Just got a call last night with news that a guy I graduated with, from my ADN program, was killed Saturday night. He was out w/some friends for a batchelor party. Evidently, he drank a little too much and wandered off....to some railroad tracks. Not a lot left of him.
It's really a troubleing reminder that life is very short. He was young, had a new career in front of him, and was engaged to be married in the next year or so. His fiance also happens to be a nurse.
I see people getting diagnosed with fatal diseases and suffering almost on a daily basis. Guess it just hits a little closer to home when something like this happens to a classmate that is about the same age you are.
