    Just need to share this with a friend so here I am.

    This little munchkin is all grown up and called me tonight to let me know she's just learned she is Summa Cum Laude in her final semester toward her BSN RN . She has chosen to specialize in pediatric oncology.

    All this from the little girl who used to like to watch her poop float!

    I'm so proud of all she has accomplished through hard work and dedication. [hrt]

    Thanks to all of you for sharing this pride with me. I will make sure Miss Hayley knows that she is congratulated by people beyond the sphere of her life.

    Yes Dont, pediatric oncology will be fraught with both joy and sorrow for my little miss but she feels compelled to make a difference in the lives of these children and their families. I truly admire her at the same time as I fear for her.

    She explained that she is now on to her 2nd 5-year plan. The first was actually a 4-yr plan to earn her degree with a minimum of 3.5 gpa. She's at 3.79. Her current 5-yr plan is to get a job at Connecticut children's Hospital, sock away some more money, buy a house, get engaged to her best friend of 7 yrs and start on her Masters. that gal is goal oriented!

    With a Masters, she can go for NP, or PA.... Which will serve her well, if after a career in the field, she wants to go into teaching...

    One thing she really needs to understand.
    She is going into a service industry and along the way she must take care or herself first.
    Nursing is a very physical job. Many Nurses end up with a damaged body after years of hard labor and a few contract body damaging diseases.
    Just a word of caution as I have assisted more than one Mil Vet Nurse who had to end their very active career due to body damage earned from doing their job.
    Yes even teachers involved in clinicals must be physically fit to teach.
    Then again I have one who is legally blind, but being a Psych Nurse they can still teach.
    In BT's area they have special Tribal Nursing Homes, class A care and good pay.

    Those are wise words HK and I will make sure I pass them along to her. At 21, she still thinks she is invincible. She is lucky that her boyfriend/best friend is graduating as a physical therapist. He's currently a massage therapist so she does get a little tender loving care for her physical well being. I need to convince him that her grandmother also need a good massage every now and then.It was funny that at our Thanksgiving dinner, Miss Hayley gave us all blood pressure checks, listened to our hearts and pulse. Young Mr. Tyler contributed shoulder massages. Both plying their trades on non-paying patients.

    One thing that has surprised me is that they no longer teach nurses to draw blood. Evidently hospitals rely on either their own lab phlebotomists for contracted ones so nurses don't carry out those tasks. My daughter is a phlebotomist and is teaching Hayley to draw blood. She has graduated from the initial attempts using an orange to her family as test patients.
