Having one of those days that you wish you could crawl back into bed and start over. We have a new palliative patient, and my resident decided to be completely unresponsive this morning until 10:30. I mean completely, not even to painful stimuli. Scared the daylights out of me!

I think I need to be a few years tougher before I can go into geriatric care. It is emotionally taxing!

Life is changing so it was time for a new name.

I have been a neglectful blogger over the last (OK, long, long, long) while. Life has been crazy for the last year. Getting to know my precious little grandson has been the highlight of my year! I am just two weeks away from officially finishing my first year of nursing!I am so excited. It has been a year of ups and downs, times when I was having a riot, times when I thought certain instructors were trying to drive us insane, and times where I was so exhausted I was asleep withing 30 seconds of sitting still.All in all it was great. I am looking forward to what year two has to throw my way. :)

Also...I will be starting off the next chapter single. Unfortunately Frank has continued to struggle since his stroke and we have had to part ways. It is sad to say goodbye after 18 years of marriage. I am not sure where I go from here as I have not been single in 20 years! I guess time will ease me through. Cuddles from my grand babe will definitely help.
