Nursing Group

So I am in what is considered to be the "alternate" group in nursing school. There are only 9 of us and there are 32 traditional students. Although I have been able to become friends with many of the other people in the traditional group, I have become very close to those in my group. We have had clinicals every Saturday together since the beginning and we have had many other activities with just us. We have all been through a lot together and it was great to have such a huge support group. They have been like family up here. We finally got a picture together in our uniforms yesterday morning before clinical. I am excited for my parents to meet all of them come Thursday when I GRADUATE!!!

MONTANA!!!


Last weekend Julie and I ditched the Idaho Falls festivities and drove to Montana to see Bonnie! We had so much fun! If Montana had my family there and better opportunities for nursing, I’d be there in a second. It is so beautiful. We were planning on camping but then the thought of mosquitoes scared us so we just set up a tent in her front yard. We did, however, go to the top of the mountain the night of the fourth and watch all of the fireworks that were going on in the valley. We had a great time hitting golf balls off the side of the mountain and sitting around a campfire eating s’mores. I am definitely going to miss these girls, we have had a lot of fun and they have made the past few years very fun for me. I’ll forever be grateful for them! Here are a few pictures of the weekend!
