Walking in April?

Hey everyone! I hope you all have adjusted to civilian life well. I just had a quick question... I'm wondering how many of you are planning on walking in April? I think I know of a few who did not walk in August, but I am wondering who is going to physically be at the ceremony in a month and a half, as I really do not want to be the only one there from our semester. If you don't mind, leave a comment if you will be there in April. Thanks! 

Share Your NCLEX Story!

Hello Everyone!
Congrats to all who've passed the NCLEX and good luck to those still preparing to pass the NCLEX!! I've just heard from Patty Ravert that she'd love to hear from us all about our NCLEX experience. She said, "It is helpful for us to understand their [our] experiences so we [BYU CON] can appropriately counsel the current students." So, if you have a chance (maybe when you're e-mailing Renea), drop a line to her and/or the other faculty at BYU to let them know how it went for you! I hope you're all doing well! Have a great day!

Hunter Fielding Smith

Hunter was born Feb 6th at 9am! He weighed 7lbs 9oz and was 20.5 inches long. The funny thing about my delivery was that my preceptor for capstone was my delivery nurse along with her BYU student. It was a whole different experience being on the patient side of things. But everything went really smoothly and we are both doing great!

Caden Scott McDaniel

Caden Scott McDaniel was born January 30, 2009 at 17:07 after 18 hours of labor and 3 hours of straight pushing. He ended up being born with a vaccuum assisted delivery and came very close to a C-section. Why? Cade was 10 pounds and 1 oz and 21 1/2 inches long. OUCH!
He is a very good and beautiful baby. We are so happy to have him in our family. Here is a picture of him in his BYU onsie that is newborn size and probably won't fit him after today.

Baby!

Hello friends! I just wanted to let you know I had my baby girl on January 6th! Her name is Mari Elise, and she is a sweet, sweet girl. You can check out more photos and all her stats on my blog! Best wishes to all of you who are having babies soon. Hope you all are doing well! ~Tawny

One Last Hoorah, Aloha Style

I have no engagement, wedding dress shopping, or weddings to report on, but Eliza, Brittany, and I did recently return from a fabulous adventure in Hawaii! Eliza and I spent the first few days in Kauai, where everyday we were graced by rainbows, whales and fantastic hikes to waterfalls. 

Then we flew to Maui where we met up with Brittany for seven more days of Hawaii adventures which included kayaking with the whales, snorkeling, watching the sunrise from the top of a volcano, riding bikes down that volcano, a Luau (in which one of the servers quickly guessed we were from Utah by our non-alcoholic beverages and Shade shirts), camping on the beach, and numerous hikes to waterfalls and bamboo waterfalls, oh yeah, and of course hitting up the beach. It was a grand graduation trip, refreshing us all for our new jobs! 

       

Good luck to everyone on the NCLEX. Congrats to all those who have already passed!

Flo & I

Hey friends! Wes & I went to London over the break where we found the Florence Nightingale Museum (I didn't know one existed either)! We didn't care much to go inside because, let's face it, I'm on a well-deserved break after 2.5 years of hearing about her all the time. But here are the pictures to prove I saw it. Hope you're all doing well!
