That is debatable!

Ok, so I went to class on Wednesday night and learned that I have to purchase a "nursing hat" that MUST be worn at ALL Clinical sites and Graduation. I also learned that it is mandatory that all Nursing students wear a white nursing dress, below the knee with 3/4 length sleeves at Graduation. Wow! I know that MCC is out in BFE better known as "By God, Montgomery County"...but I cannot believe that we still have to do this. There was a HUGE debate and of course, the students lost. So, I guess I will be wearing my little white dress with the nursing hat.
BTW- Our Nursing Director says that "It is an honor to wear the hat" and "you are not a nurse, if you don't wear your hat".
An Honor....seriously???
Did you see the hat?

A New Year = A New Me!
I have recently started exercising, jogging and walking with a great group of girls.
Yesterday was my first day at the track, so I am a little sore.
Despite the muscle aches, I will be back at the track tonight.
No pain, No gain!

I have to get in shape, for our cruise!
