My sister Candace was still born. She died a day before her due date. The umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck. My mom delivered her the normal way and got to hold her afterwards. She named my next sister "Faith" because it took alot of faith and trust in God that the next baby would be ok....and she was. I always remember my mom talking about her alot. There was never any birth or death certificate issued to prove that she even existed.

I applied to dental hygiene school but an now having second thoughts and cannot stop thinking about the possibility of nursing. PACU interests me specifically after recently having surgery and viewing the role of nurses first hand. Do you like your job? I love to stay busy at work and enjoy helping people. How do you deal with seeing people that have passed away? Do you get used to it? That's my biggest hang-up, but I guess you get used to it. The variety of fields in nursing is enticing as opposed to doing the same thing everyday in dental hygiene. Please tell me why you chose nursing and if it's what you expected once you got in.:)
