I PASSED MY BOARDS! It's OFFICIAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

About Me

I love my life. I love my family and friends. I like to smile and laugh out loud. I can be trusting to a fault and give most people the benefit of the doubt. I consider myself an eternal optimist and have ZERO time for people with negative attitudes. I am a nurse by profession and so far it's working out well. I love what I do even when I have bad days. I don't know where life will lead me and look forward to the challenge. I am married to a great gentleman named Dan who takes great care of me. We have 3 dogs now and I am always threatening to bring home more. I don't lose many friends. I just accumulate them along the way. They are all different and I consider myself pretty damn lucky since they all rule!
You know you're a nurse when...
The front of your scrubs reads "Nurses... here to save your butt, not kiss it!"
You occasionally park in the space with the "physicians only" sign... and knock it over.
You believe some patients are alive only because it's illegal to kill them.
You recognize that you can't cure stupid.
You own at least three pens with the names of prescription medications on them.
You believe there's a special place in hell for the inventor of the call light.
You believe that saying "it can't get any worse" causes it to get worse just to show you it can.
You wash your hands BEFORE you go to the bathroom.
You believe that any job where you can drive to work in your pajamas is a cool one.
You consider a tongue depressor an eating utensil.
Eating microwave popcorn out of a clean bedpan is perfectly natural.
You've been exposed to so many x-rays that you consider it a form of birth control.
You've heard a patient with a nose ring, a brow ring, and twelve earrings say, "I'm afraid of shots."
You've ever placed a bet on someone's blood alcohol level.
You've told a confused patient that your name is that of a coworker and to call if they need help.
Your bladder can expand to the size of a Winnebago's water tank.
You have seen more penises than any prostitute could dream of.
You believe that not all patients are annoying... some are unconscious.
Your family and friends refuse to watch medical sitcoms with you because you spend the whole time correcting everyone and pointing out upside down x-rays.
You don't get excited about blood, unless it's your own.
You've sworn to have "do not resuscitate" tattooed on your chest. Soon.
Discussing dismemberment over a gourmet meal is perfectly normal to you.
Your idea of fine dining is anywhere you can sit down to eat.
Your idea of a good time is a cardiac arrest at shift change.
You believe in the aerial spraying of Prozac.
You believe that "shallow gene pool" should be a recognized diagnosis.
You believe that the government should require permits to reproduce.
You believe that unspeakable evils will befall anyone who utters the phrase "Wow, it's really quiet, isn't it?
You have ever had a patient look you straight in the eye and say "I have no idea how that got stuck in there."
You've had to leave a patient's room before you begin to laugh uncontrollably.

My Interests

I like to have fun wherever I go. I also love curling up on the couch and getting lost in a movie. I love chick flicks and 80s music. Warning: I sing in my car, I sing in the shower, I sing at work... I love to ballroom dance and latin dance. Dan is a good sport and dances with me (after a few drinks he does anyway). I am a true geek at heart and love to learn. I love to learn about medicine, animal behavior, food...YOU NAME IT! I will most likely go back to school soon for something. Most of all, I like to hang out with my husband. He is the coolest. We travel...a lot. It's fun. We have been to many places together and look forward to going to more.

I'd like to meet:

Everyone. Lovers. Dreamers. Inspiring people. Animal lovers. Fellow nurses. Happy people. Sad people. Funny people. I love meeting people and hope to meet many more in my lifetime. I like listening to stories and everyone seems to have at least one that is worth sharing, I look forward to hearing yours :)Myspace Layouts

Music:

I love 80s music. I also love the newest boy band/pop princess. I am 100% devoted to Bon Jovi and have recently seen Michael Buble and Rockapella (not together) in concert. I love dancing to disco and salsa music too!

Movies:

I really like movies. I watch scary ones and then can't sleep for days. I truly love chick flicks, they are the best. My Best Friend's Wedding, 10 things I hate about you, Lord of the Rings trilogy, Dirty Dancing

Television:

Keeping up with the Kardashians (kill me), Grey's Anatomy, Law & Order SVU, Dancing with the Stars, Beauty and the Geek, American Idol, So you think you can dance?

Books:

Anything by Jodi Piccoult. The Memory Keeper's Daughter, Marley and Me - SO good! The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time

Heroes:

Most days it's my patients, even when they are not so nice. They keep me humble :)
