Today was the first time I’ve really doubted my call to nursing. Emotionally strained and physically tired, I found myself questioning if this is really what God has for me. It was my very last day of my peds rotation and I spent it in the Emergency Department. It was actually a [...]

How eggs become chicks
Posted in Uncategorized on February 26, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I helped out with Children’s Church this morning, which was pretty much nonstop entertainment. I love the matter-of-factness of kids. Here’s one that made me smile:
Sarah: What would have to happen for this egg to grow into a baby chick?
Child: We’d have to paint it brown, and give it to the Mama Chicken to [...]
Meg vs The Stain
Posted in Uncategorized on February 26, 2007 | 2 Comments »
About a month and a half ago my roommate Meg was walking from the kitchen to the living room carrying an open nalgene bottle filled with iced tea. She was juggling a few things in her hands along with the nalgene and as she walked through the hallway that attaches our dining and living [...]

My clinical rotation in pediatrics draws to a close next week. While I’m looking forward to getting into my next rotation of mother/baby nursing, I’m admittedly a little sad to leave. I love the world of pediatrics. Kids are honest, funny, resilient, and affectionate. It was pretty awesome to [...]

Settling In

Welcome to my new blog home! While I was reluctant for awhile, I’ve finally made the switch to WordPress and am quite glad I did. It’s kind of like moving from your ISP’s email server to Gmail; the old one did the job, but the new one is so much better! That said, I’m still [...]
Snow Day!!!

I had my first Snow Day since first grade today. They are really beautiful things, especially when you think you’re getting up at 5 for clinical and get sleep in til 9:30. I lounged around the house in the morning, reading my Bible and drinking coffee and taking care of some things [...]
The Cold "Snap"
Posted in cold weather, homeless, prayer on February 7, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I’m starting to learn about REAL cold weather. As the weather folks say, “we’re experiencing a cold snap.” I always thought of a snap as something quick. This is a biting, painful windy chill that came suddenly and seems to be hanging around. For those of you who blame this on [...]
