I attended the University of Southern California for my bachelor's in nursing and decided to brave the academic waters and return for my master's in nursing education, graduating in 2003 from Mount St. Mary's.

Seriously, I have to stop procrastinating
It seems to me sometimes that the more I have to do, the more I procrastinate. For example, currently, I have a paper to write, a presentation to put together, and a million emails to answer. That doesn’t even include the stuff I need to do for work! And because I have so much to do, I find myself currently watching the Bachelor: Jason and Molly Get Married.

Hi. My name is Sean. I've been in healthcare for the past 15 years. I received a bachelor's degree in Exercise and Sport Science where I worked as a Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC).

Hi! My name is Nicole, and yes, I’m a new nurse. I can be described in three adjectives: content, thankful, and fortunate. All credit for the aforementioned description can be given to the love I have for my profession — Registered Nurse. Upon graduating from University of Florida with my Bachelor’s in Nursing and moving to Atlanta, the real “south,” I quickly realized I was in enemy — a.k.a. ‘Bulldog’ — territory. I also just as quickly discovered the gem that is the Cardiac Stepdown Unit at Children’s — a dream job for a new nurse. Usually you can find my yellow lab, Maggie, and I gallivanting around Atlanta to the theme of “Chronicles of a Three Day Work Week.” More
