Welcome!

Hello fellow bloggers,



I created this blog as part of an assignment for a class that I am taking at Kaplan University Online. I hope it will turn into an entertaining insight into my world as a student and healthcare professional.



Please allow me to introduce myself:

I am a 25 year old CNA that works in Ortho Trauma. My work fascinates me, so I talk about it a lot. I love watching joint replacement patients walk again for the first time, and I am getting used to helping families through tough times. Going back to school scares the hell out of me, but I am doing it... and relatively well so far. I tried to go to Nursing School, but it is just WAY too intense for me right now. I have settled on persuing a medical transcription license, and saved my Nurse dreams for a rainy day.



I like to drink tea, look at old books and watch trendy TV shows. I find that when mingling with stangers all day, it is important to maintain a vast mental database of neutral crap. Discussing things like tea, old stories and American Idol are nice distractions for people in the hospital. Happier patients make a happier me.



But anyway, my goal in life is to know everything. I think that I have experienced a lot for my 25 years, but I still feel generally unaccomplished. I am notorious for 'bitting off more than I can chew' but I like to think that I can usually figure out a way to get it all done in a crunch.



I am trendy, geeky, ditzy and friendly. I hope to learn a lot about myself through this project.



Thanks for reading! I wish you all a successful, healthy, and happy semester!
