For the love of nursing

Why I became a nurse? I worked for a doctor in "Endocrinology" and I didn't even know what that was. I had no medical terminology at all. All I know is that I wanted to become more involved the more I learned. I started by taking a course in Human Anatomy and did well enough. I decided I would try Human Physiology and by that time I was hooked. I took more courses in Biochemistry, Microbiology and Organic Chem. 


I loved all of those courses so much so I wanted to know what I could do with that. Through my search to find myself, I learned that nursing was the path that best matched my personality to help people and to be able to apply what I was learning.

Many years later, I still love learning so I have since gone back to school and will be finishing up my Graduate studies in Women's Health. I have an absolute love of nutrition. So this will definitely be my focus and am loving the journey!  

Whatever your career choices in life may be, I only wish that you have a love of "what you do" so eloquently put by Steve Jobs. Dream big! Follow your heart and you can not go wrong! Good night to all.

Tuesday thoughts

I have a desire to tell you what I love about nursing besides always learning something new everyday! I guess I absolutely love having a couple of days of work and then a couple days off. I can't complain about the schedule at all! There is so much flexibility, if anyone out there wants to be a nurse! It's so great for being able to do a variety of things with the schedule that you can have! This is just a short note for today! I have to admit though the days are long when you do work! I need to hit the hay a little earlier to regain my energy! So good night to all and sweet dreams! Until tomorrow then!

Hello there

Well, as part of the New Year's resolutions I decided to blog daily. So here goes... Along with blogging, I decided to make my blog more personable by blogging about personal interests of mine. I am a nurse and work long hours and part of my relax time when I come home from work is internet browsing. Can't think of anything more relaxing. 


Part of that I like to go online on youtube and viewing some of my favorite beauty and fashion gurus. One of my favorites is www.hrhcollection.com. 

Alex is a fashion connoisseur of sorts. She designs her own jewelry and is in the process of starting her own clothing line. She is great with interior design as well. Another one of my favorites is www.brooklynblonde.com with Helena who is another great fashion blogger and is always dazzling with her style. 

There's a whole community out there on the internet for women to get ideas for anything from the latest designs in clothing or new makeup products of the season. It's just fabulous. And before you try any, you can get a review of the products from these fashionistas!! online!! It's so much fun. 


Well there you have it, one of my favorite pasttimes, internet browsing and youtube watching! It will really make you smile and lift your spirits! Well, then until next time, Nikki here signing off. 


If anyone has a question or comment about health, wellness or nursing in general, shoot me a question. Will love to lend an ear or give my opinion, I have alot of those! Here's to a great year ahead!! 

A personal note

I start my day at 5am to be at work by 7am. I work on a heart floor and I have been there about 3 years. I love my job, the people I work with and the patients I take care of. It feels great to be helpful in a time of crisis in a person's life. I love people in general. My days are long, usually I have about a 12 hour day. It can get hectic and stressful at times but in the end, it is all worth it! For young aspiring nurses out there, if you have the desire, it is a worthwhile career. It may not be easy but you will never regret it one bit!The choices are endless as to what you can choose to do for your job. If you love babies, we always need good nurses in Neonatal Intensive Care. If you love a fast pace, Emergency nurses are always in high demand. You can choose a career in Research or Teaching or Pharmaceutical sales. The choices are great! At the end of the day, when I get home, I can feel certain that I did my best to help those in need and that is reward in itself to me!
