STTI Induction

Sorry to all my Facebook followers who also read this blog, its probably all my readers, but I wanted to repost some pictures and a little blurb about being inducted into Sigma Theta Tau International. STTI is the only international nursing honor society and is recognized by pretty much everyone in nursing! To be chosen for induction in the accelerated nursing program, it is required that you be in the top 35% of your nursing class, have a GPA of 3.5 or higher, and be involved in service and community activities. I am happy to say I made the cut and was inducted with 11 of my fellow accelerated nursing school friends last friday. The induction was short and sweet. We all received a packet full of information about STTI and were roped (I guess thats what you call it) with beautiful purple cords I get to wear at graduation in a couple months. My parents were able to come and support me as well as Eric. I was happy he was able to take the day off to be there. I can definitely say without my parents, and without Eric, there is no way I could have gone back to school, and get a second degree. :) I never would have dreamed this, but I am so happy that Heavenly Father knows me better then I know myself and lead me down this road. Being a nurse is such an honor. I can't wait to walk across the stage in July!

Love my momma

Glad my dad could make even though he was really sick that day. He toted his wound vac everywhere we went! Love him!


After the ceremony a big group of us with our families all went to this AMAZING restaurant in downtown Mobile called Spot of Tea for brunch! It was delicious and fun just hanging out with everyone outside of school. I begin my practicum in a week!!! Wish me luck!

iTunes Throwback

I realize it isn't throwback Thurseday…but, listening to old iTunes playlists from college really brought back so many memories today. Everything from old breakup songs I used to listen to, songs my roommates and I just jammed out to, and even a couple songs that I listened to when I was wanting to date Eric but he was dating someone else at the time LOL. I love listening to music and every song I love ties back to some memory I have. I guess thats just how my brain works but I love music! Eric thought he loved music and then he met me. He is always amazed that I know every word to every song on every radio station LOL! :) I guess its just one of those things that makes me..well, me! It doesn't matter whether it is country, oldies, pop, R&B, rap, or classic rock, 9 times out of 10 and can sing right along. :D

Here are a few videos from my favorite Divas! These 5 songs were at the top of my iTunes breakup playlist LOL! Enjoy the blast from the past! :)

Beyonce- If I Were a Boy




Mary J. Blige- Be Without You

Rhianna- Take a Bow

Kelly Clarkson- Never Again


Taylor Swift- Picture to Burn
