Its official

Yes, it is official. I am a student nurse who has worked with REAL patients! Lets see, I showered someone, changed a brief, took vitals, dressed, fed, and even took a break to eat at Wendy's! Its not easy working in the locked unit (sounds scarier than it is) but with my mad nursing skills...it was no problem. (ok, acutally i was completely pooped by the end of my shift!) And...Yes, I would appreciate it if you started referring to me as Nurse Janet.

Safe...thanks to Mike

I have moved apartments and my new walk to campus includes an area known as "rape hill." There is even a sign there that says do not walk alone at night because it is not safe. But what is a girl to do? That is the pathway to my house! Luckily, Mike found a solution for me. Pepper Spray! Yes, I have become one of those women who carry pepper spray with them in their purse! It is almost as good as the buddy system! (I don't think anything bad has happened on the hill for 20 years or something like that, but better safe than sorry!)
