I finally freakin' did it!

Many of you may be wondering "what happened to Erin?" due to my lack of blogs. But no worries, I still here and I still care. I was just finishing up my last semester. After seven long years of undergrad, I am finally done. Well, with that phase, at least. I'm going back for my masters in Nursing Educations, so soon you can call me "Professor Erin". But for now, I gladly respond to "Nurse Erin". I got a job working part-time at Ranken Jordan, which is a non-profit childrens hospital in St. Louis, and I will be working with kids that have long-term problems. Also, I will "probably" be working part-time at Maryville University as a clinical assistant, educating and testing nursing students, and it pays for my masters (woo-hoo!). It's a "probably" because I have to pass boards before they can say I have the job; so keep your fingers crossed! It's kinda corny, but I get so excited telling people that I am a nurse when asked about my occupation. Hopefully I'll still feel that way years down the road!

You may be wondering, "why Erin, are those cords you are wearing?" Yep, I belong to Sigma Theta Tau, International Nursing Honor Society. I joined so I could look smart.

Opened eyes are so overrated in pictures.

Why the thumbs up? I graduated cum laude and I won the "Excellence in Nursing" award. All that butt-kissin' worked!


Here's me shaking the hand of some guy I don't know, who I guess is important to my school in some way. I could really care less, I just want my diploma and not fall like the girl in front of me did... tee-hee-hee...
