A Nurse in our Family


Me, Melissa and Patty at Melissa's "Pinning" Ceremony. She worked her butt off to go to school and to work 12 hour days as a Patient Care Technician at local hospitals while going to school and driving back and forth.

But it finally ended, so to speak, last night when the school had a ceremony for the new nurses and pinned them with a Registered Nurse pin. We are so proud of her and her accomplishments and daughter, Audrey, is extremely proud of her mom and it shows in this photo of the two of them.

Thank you. It was a big day for me to. First time I have been out of the house and in the city for a long time.

Abraham Lincoln said...

I am like you. A noble profession and an old one.

It sure is important. I can't think of anyone more important when I needed a bed pan.

It was a lot of hard work and took a long time but she made it. And will go on for a Masters.
