I will be graduating in Dec. '99 with an A.S. degree in nursing. The last 2 years have gone by so fast but I am so excited to finish and start my career in nrsg. I am also a bit scared to be out there on my own. I hope that once I am, I have the wisdom an strength needed to be a good nurse.Hope to go on and eventually become a PA or NP. But for now I've had enough of being a student. By the way I am 32yrs, married with 2 daughters

Good to see you giving Judee Sill a plug and glad to see you're enjoying 'Heart Food' Although I'm not a student nurse (!) I was interested in your career move. Don't apologise for your Philosophy of Nursing, it's good to have ideals to aim for and achieve. I pray that you will manage to attain them all amongst the pressures which the NHS s under. Anyway good luck with the rest of your studies. I really appreciated the McGarrigle Hour tape and thnakyou for your efforts. Hope to communicate with you again sometime, meanwhile keep listening and enjoying Bob's shows. Best regards Allan P.S. I really approved of the Snoopy picture ....
