Scrubs

So I realized that I hadn't posted any pictures of me in my nursing school uniform! I apologize for my tardiness in this matter...but I suppose the following pictures are on Facebook as well. Nevertheless, for those of you who are curious, we wear the lovely brown scrubs which you will gaze upon in a few moments. I think they are quite hideous cute, but I suppose they could be much worse. One day I will be able to wear ones that I really like. However, for now I am thankful simply to be able to get clinical experience while I wear them!

Ok...I'm back to studying. Have a good week!

surrender

"For I am the Lord your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you." Isaiah 41:13
surrender
Lord, I give up my own plans and purposes,
all my own desires, hopes and ambitions, 
and I accept Thy will for my life.
I give up myself, my life, my all,
utterly to Thee, to be Thine forever.
I hand over to Thy keeping all of my friendships;
all the people whom I love are to take second place in my heart.
Fill me now and seal me with Thy Spirit.
Work out Thy whole will in my life at any cost,
for to me to live is Christ. Amen.
-Betty Scott

things that made my day

Things that have made my day today:
lunchables

tea in a teacup
a duck paddling through the "moat" around Chemeketa's new building 8!
sunshine
curling up on my couch
Tomorrow is my first clinical rotation (i.e. first shift) at Salem Hospital's OB/mother baby unit! I'm very excited and hope to see some super duper cool stuff (like a birth!!!)...but we'll see what happens. Here's  hoping!

P.S. No that is not my couch, but I wish I had a room with a couch like it. Maybe one day...
