    Wow, I have a funny feeling that, as a new nurse, I'll be picking your brain and calling upon your expertise and advice from time to time! Hope that's ok! A pleasure to have made your acquaintance!

    Thanks for adding me, Patricia! So, you have an advanced nursing degree? In education, I presume? I know you love teaching, so what exactly do you teach in nursing school?

    thanks for the wonderful message u sent to me. i truely apreciate it. i love your meassage, full of inspirations. thanks a lot, you're helping me to have confidence, faith, and love towards nursing program. you're helping me to a BIG GOAL in life. im really challenged with all the peolpe that surrounds me, i was able to give up my nursing study because i think this is not the good career for me, but i realized that this is my real passion since i was a kid, i pretend as a nurse, playing nursing toy kits, acting as a health care provider. thanks a lot. i love the way you comment me/sent me a message. take care always. and godbless. (^^,)
