Did you ever wonder what it takes to become a nurse? Well, maybe you didn't, but I'm telling you it takes a lot! Well, here's a small list of the things that Christie is doing right now just to become a nurse...

• 3 days of school a week
• 2 days of 8 hour clinicals
• At least 1 test and quiz every week
• Minimum grade of 80 required
• Regular patient care pass-offs
• Studying 3-5 hours every day including Saturdays

I don't know about your schooling, but I don't ever remember having to do so much. I mean, I study a fair amount, but I don't have hard tests every week, and the minimum grade is a lot lower for most degrees! But at the same time, isn't it comforting to know that they have a high standard for our health care employees!Oh, and nursing school isn't all bad - here's a short list of good things that Christie is getting from all of this

• friends (you girls rock, thank you!)
• learning
• patient interaction
• preparation
• RN

Did I mention I love my wife!? She's so busy and still does so much for me. Keep it up honey!
