My wife, son & I.
The two Soldiers standing on opposite sides in front row were our instructors.
I introduced our guest speaker, then later received my Critical Care Nursing Course certificate.
Upon conclusion of the ceremony we stood up, did an about-face, and received a round of applause.
The 15 week course at Madigan Army Medical Center [MAMC] was very intense, which included classroom & clinical time, six exams, CEU presentation, one hour single system failure presentation, three hour three system failure, and various other graded activities. Plus, as a prerequisite we were required to complete the online Essentials of Critical Care Orientation [ECCO] course in three months.
It is very nice to be able to take 2 weeks leave before I process back in as permanent party at MAMC on ICU East for a 3 year committment. Rumor has it, in 6 months I may get PROFIS'd to a CSH Unit & deployed OCONUS for a year.
Wow, over 20 views w/o a single reply of congratulations, or you have a pretty wife, or something?

CONGRATULATIONS!
Your family seems very proud of you! Critical care is an area I'm very interested in.
I'm hoping to inspire my friend to join the Navy and learn something in healthcare. He needs focus and opportunites he can't get in his small town.
I'm adding you into the inspiration mix.
CONGRATS AGAIN!

Critical care is an area I'm very interested in. I am thinking about going back into the Army or Airforce.
I wish you the best of Luck!
