soul food

My nephew and I, wearing our LiveStrong bracelets. 


Laughing with my nephew.

I haven't updated in over a week, because I went up North for 7 days to visit family. I needed something to yank me out of this rut and reinvigorate me. I spent lots of time with family, my nephew, mentors and friends, and kids. It was just what I needed to restore my soul and fill up my heart. I had dinner with the family I used to nanny for, visited my former coworkers (and really realized how much I've missed them), met with 2 mentors......And now I'm back in Chapel Hill, and trying to figure things out. 

I won't be going to UNCG. When I was in NJ, several people asked me why I wasn't looking at oncology nursing.....I guess I just always felt like it was so gender-stereotyped, and I didn't want to be shoved into that mold. So UNC chapel hill has an MSN oncology nursing program....but you have to have a BSN, and they have an accelerated program. It's a thought. We'll see. 

One of my new obsessions is the brand lululemon. It's a brand of yoga wear that just seems so neat. Expensive, but their stuff is reeealllly cute. 



lululemon stuff

Latest Obsessions
Music: A Fine Frenzy, Gillian Welch

by the way, has anyone else seen that "cotton: the fabric of our lives" commercial with Zooey Deschanel? So weird. I can't believe she did that commercial.

whadda ya mean gender-sterotyped ... onc nurses are supposed to be Dames??? ... I was wondering about the lack of facial hair among co-workers and complaints about me leaving the seat up

Starting a BSN can fulfill med school pre-req's ... hell that's how I started ... I was taking Anatomy & Physiology for med school in summer session and some nursing students talked me into taking some nursing courses

I've never really wanted to be a nurse so I'm not the best spokesperson for peds onc nursing but it is a great profession in and of itself ... and we definitely need more great advanced practice onc nurses ... it's mostly the nurses who spend the most time with pts and their families

Best wishes for whatever path you take

Always
