You all are awesome!!! thank you for the great suggestions!! I'll definitely have to write back to let you know how it goes :) Gonna try a few things from the list...

Hi Nurses hope you all might be able to help me out with this... I'm throwing my wife a graduation party in a couple weeks for graduating from nursing school and am doing some crazy things for serving the food... One of them is to have punch served from an IV bag - at least a look-alike IV bag. Considering I probably won't be able to get my hands on actual IV bags I think I'll need to rig up something with Ziploc bags and a long tube or something like that. Any ideas or pointers that might help?? Thanks!! Nate

I realized it's been over a week since I posted this... It's great to read all of the suggestions and encouragement and ideas. Thank you thank you THANK YOU! :) They are much appreciated. Nursing school sure has been tough but I know it's been her dream for a long time. I need to get her to this site!!

Hello, My wife has completed her first year of nursing school and did a GREAT job (near all A's) even though she constantly dreaded every test and quiz and questioned herself being there. She definitely underestimates her ability :) The first year was tough but I wanted to give her good time to study and be there for her to take care of the kids and just give her what she needed to do well. The next (her final) year is coming up in about one month and she's absolutely dreading going back!! I can see it in her eyes all the time. I think it's just all the work and being away from the family and feeling tired and well, you all know what I mean I know she wants to do it for the family, and it's always been her dream to be a nurse since we've been married (11 years). I really really want to encourage her and show her that we support her - help her feel good about going back. But, I'm just not sure how to do that. All of the encouraging words I know do help, but I guess I'm looking for that extra special something....... Any ideas, thoughts, etc most welcome :) Thank you
