Lastest Creations

One of my MANY new years pinky promises for myself was to set aside a few hours a week for myself.

To do whatever I think is fun at the time.

These can range from just taking a nap to crafts to photography. 

I love crafts. I mean what woman doesn't?!

So I have been pretty "crafty" lately.

It is a great relaxer. 

I have problems controlling my stress: Nursing School will do that to you, haha.

Here are some of the things I have been doing over the past few months: 

restored/cleaned and re-threaded my vintage typewriter

Washington state string and nail craft

Made Casey a man Bouquet because it's not fair that the men get to buy us flowers and we cannot do anything!

 

My dollar store spice racks

I haven't done a blog about how school is going yet.

I absolutely LOVE it so far!

Mother and baby is my true love! 

I get to witness miracles everyday.

I am in my Senior One semester so life is getting "real". 

This semester is OB and pediatrics.

OB: entails mother/baby, labor/delivery, and NICU

Pediatrics is a little different for me and 9 other students...

because we were accepted to "late pediatrics"

Traditionally pediatrics is in the hospital setting

However, for my group we are doing Camp Stix

Camp Stixs is a camp for diabetes children 

They finally get a chance to do what most children normally get to do in the summer

It is a week long camp full of fun summer games, camp fires, zip lines, kayaking, and more

I am part of the MASH staff (medical team)

I will be helping manage there diabetes, teaching, being social/emotional support, and more

I am THRILLED  to go to camp! 

All semester we are preparing for camp by doing projects, research, simulations, modules, etc.

It is going to be awesome!

I digress, my semester so far has been delightful.

I also was offered a job at the College of Nursing being a tutor for previous semester students.

So I now work as a tutor a few times a week.

Also, I haven't said that I work at a day care.

I work a few times a week at a child care facility called Recess Time

I love my job loads! I am seeing lots of babies this semester! :]

It is the best!

That picture was taken at 6:45am on a day I clearly did not shower, haha!
