I'm officially an RN!
So it's been a LONG process at me taking my nursing boards and becoming a Registered Nurse. I was planning to take my NCLEX (National licensing exam for nurses) in December, but that is just the time we found out we were expecting, and the same time my horrific morning sickness started... so I ended up waiting until I felt better (which was going to be in April or May)- until I found out the Alaska state nursing board had misfiled my information under my maiden name and thus didn't "flag" me as eligible to take the exam until I called and got them looking for my paperwork. Anyways- after several months of waiting, studying, and preparing I finally took my test last Monday and passed! YEAH!! It feels so good to be done with that- as the exam can be very difficult and is the only way to start practicing as a nurse. As soon as my license arrived I got a burst of energy to start looking for a part-time nursing position, that can be flexible with my soon-to-be mommyhood and I think I may have found just the right fit. It's for Avante Medical Center and has 12 providers in all areas of health, including naturopathic- which I think could be very interesting. We will see how things pan out, but I am so excited to be done with the licensing process and onto living life!

I'm so glad you wrote back. Congrats on everything, its been a busy year for you! I still talk to Kelsie. Not often, but when I go home I see her and her little boy. I will always love Kels! Other than that Rose Berube and thats about all. So are you planning on going closer to home now, or are you staying there in Alaska? My husband is actually in Med school here, so I get the school thing a little! I am so glad you are doing so good. I did go to our 10 year last year in Spokane and it was really fun, funny to see some people and just good to chat with others. Its so funny after knowing each other for so long in high school, I turned out Mormon, it happens to the best of us! I actually celebrated my 10 yr Mormon anniversary April 2nd this year. I couldn't feel more blessed! I will keep up on your blog.
