Didactic no longer!!

It's been a long, strange trip but my didactic days are finally OVER!! I could not be happier! I took my last final on August 3. Year one of nurse anesthesia school has come to a close and I now have 16 more months ahead of me...clinical residency. I've been told that this is where we actually learn the great art of actually administering anesthesia! I can't wait! I feel so blessed that I've made it this far. Originally I couldn't believe I actually got an interview to nurse anesthesia school, then I couldn't believe I actually got accepted, now I can't believe I've survived a whole year! CRNA school is definitely NOT for the weak or faint of heart. It's a marathon, not a sprint. It's the hardest thing I've ever done in my life, but they always say the best things in life are usually the things that are hardest to come by. Now, I get to enjoy 3 wonderful weeks of summer before moving into the clinical phase (phase 2) of my program!

On August 16 Chris and I are going to Disney World for 5 nights! We are so excited! It's a much-needed and well-deserved vacation for both of us! Chris has been incredibly supportive of me this past year as I achieve my dream of becoming a nurse anesthetist. I could not ask for a better husband and best friend.

Stay tuned! Pics to follow....
