About RNbygrace13

Hi, I have been an RN for about 9 months, but have yet to practice. I went into labor with my second daughter as I finished my ASN nursing final (I was about to have my 1st when I got my acceptance letter). I took these 9 months to get my BSN and to recover after losing my mother to H1N1 in January. I am married to a wonderful man who understands absolutely nothing about healthcare, but listens to me exclaim excitedly over medscape articles and supports my every whim. I can't wait to trade my yoga pants for scrubs and get to work.
