But it was made two days before I took the HESI (exit exam). More to come! Don't worry "Becoming A Nurse" is still a work in process and will not fade into the woodwork. Many, many thanks to all the wonderful supportive folks out there. Sorry for not posting more in the last few weeks. Things just got kind of intense.

It's very much the home stretch and I am so sorry not to have been posting. My camera died, so I am down to only my webcam and this has definitely cramped my style in a big way. Lots of stuff has happened and I promise to post on it soon!

"Change of Shift" is up at Emergiblog. Check it out. It's kind of a nursing-centric version of "Grand Rounds" which rocks, too. A "best of" tour of the nurse blogosphere this month. Good stuff.

It was an amazing, eye-opening experience. Hats off to ER nurses - you are a special breed. When the s@%t hits the fan, these folks are the embodiment of TEAMWORK. It was amazing to see what can be accomplished when a commited group of people band together for a greater purpose - the preservation of a human life.
