Trails and Tales:

Finally get a breath. The last six months have been insane, and that's an understatement.

Wow.
Just wow.

UCSF has started in full swing for me, and every day I am amazed at what we're learning. To update anyone, this program is the usual 2 to 2.5 year RN program, condensed into 1 year, and then half the class goes straight through to a Master's (Nurse Practitioner or Clinical Nurse Specialist) while the other half takes a step-out year, works as an RN, and then goes back into the Master's portion.

A reminder to be proud of who you are,
especially this weekend.

Even if you're stuck reading pathophysiology. :p
