Barack Obama......

I have always been a republican. I was raised republican and have always voted for republican president's. Until now, I really do like our president. He seems to be sincere in helping this country get back on it's feet. I love looking at pictures of him in the white house that can be found on http://www.whitehouse.gov/ . I guess he just seems real. I hope he will do good things for this country. A strange observation I have made is that alot of "white republicans" I have been in contact with think that he is doing a good job. Despite partisianship, the concensus is that he is trying to do the best for our country.

Nurse educator......

I have wanted to be a nurse educator for as long as I have been a nurse. I was a LPN instructor for almost 1 year and loved it. The only reason I left the job is because the state cut the program. It was cut due to poor performance prior to my tenure.

I only need 4 classes before I can start the BSN program. I can teach RN's while I am in the Master's program, post BSN.

I have been a nurse for so long I think it is time to do what I really love - teach. I do not want to perform direct patient care for my whole life. Now if I can keep the motivation for this.

New job....

I am very happy with my new job. I am working in the Emergency room in Clarksdale, MS. I worked there for about seven years ago for about four years. For the most part, all of the people are cool. There is a good mix of young and old, men and women. I was really nervous going back to work in the ER but I have remembered most of the skills. Clarksdale is a great place to learn. There is no other hospital nearby so this ER sees alot of trauma. It is in the Delta so the people are sick. I love Clarksdale, it is cool.
