Tomorrow after 2pm, I will be able to save a life. So if anyone is in trouble, needs CPR, or is choking on food, I'll be the woman to call!
That's right--I have my CPR for healthcare providers class tomorrow. It is from 10am-2pm, which isn't too bad. The price is $30.
Working as a cashier for $7.50 an hour at a fabric store seriously gives me a new appreciation for my acceptance into nursing school. Every hour that goes by when I am in the store I am just smiling because I know after 2 months, I won't have to do another stupid retail job again. I honestly feel anyone who isn't considering going to school, should work as a cashier because it is such motivation to get the hell out of that place and into a meaningful career!

- I'm Nicole, a 28 year old Registered Nurse, BSN with a passion for all things health and balance. This blog has gone through many transformations and I have now accepted it as a hodge-podge of my life, consisting of food, fitness, nursing life, and a place to share. This journal was created a few years back to chronicle my journey through nursing school. I have since graduated and now work in the ICU. Currently, I am in the process of earning my Master's degree to become a Family Nurse Practitioner. Enjoying a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle, although difficult at times, is my on-going and ultimate goal!

If any story sounds familiar to you, it is simply coincidence. Stories are fabricated for entertainment.

You will easily more than triple that hourly wage when you get that first nursing job.
It's more frackin' hard than you will ever believe, but it's worth it, and you get to hang out with the most interesting people: drug addicts, personality-disordered manipulative psychopaths, PTSD-crippled veterans, and those are just your co-workers!
We welcome hearing your thoughts.
Your voice is needed, for as you can see there are not enough Nurse Blogs, compared to say Battle Star Galactica blogs, of which there are tens of thousands.
Good for you! We need more nurses; especially enthusiastic ones. And most of the time, in a hospital, when CPR is necessary, it's the nurses that initiate it. So take good notes.
