bsn austin peay
not sure of grad date in dec '07
this fall i am taking adult health i, child health promotion, nursing informatics, clinical integration, and lifespan pharmacology.
i just finished my psych and mental health rotation, i took it over the summer.
i would like to be in some area of pediatrics.
i haven't found anything i am great at yet. maybe i am a good test taker?!
what scares me the most is the lack of skills practice we get as students.
i want everyone to come to my graduation, but i will be happy with my daughter, husbands, parents, grandparents, and aunt and uncle. (that is a lot!)
i want to walk and go to the pinning ceremony.
our uniform is a white scrub top, white scrub pants, and white shoes. we have our school patch on our left shoulders.
