It felt good to get out before the world woke up and just go and enjoy a nice run to process all that has happened this week! 60 hours of work, clinical or capstone; all my classes, all my homework...no wonder why I was so exhausted every night! James is just about as busy with his work and school...we both fell asleep early last night without even getting ready for bed or saying goodnight to each other! Capstone is so incredible at the NICU. It's a dream to me really! I'm doing stuff and practicing new skills all day long. And I'm in the high acuity room so they had me jump in right away! Usually the students have to start in the back and work their way up, but since I've been there for 2 years, I get all the good stuff. It's a great payoff for sitting through hours of class, taking tests, doing my clinical hours at places I would never want to work...etc. And it all starts again tonight! I don't know what I'm going to do with myself when I only have 36 hours of work each week after I graduate!

You are getting closer to the end! Just ONE full time job will be a breeze for you. Just think of all the running you will be able to do.

Nice work Brooke! I love your passion for your work. Isn't it amazing to do what you love - and get paid for it? :)

My neighbor just started at the UofU NICU, I don't know if you'd even run into her, but she is LOVING working there too. Her name is Jamie Menendez.
