McDaniel Baby #2

Hi Everyone! I hope your holidays were wonderful, I miss you all. I just wanted to share the good news that Baby #2 is here. Brielle Julie McDaniel was born on December 5th, 2010 at 4:42pm. She was 8 Ibs 12 oz and 20 1/2 inches long. Much smaller than her brother so I am very happy. The labor was perfect, only 9 hours, epidural worked perfectly and I slept through most of it. She came out in only 3 pushes. The only bad part was that I got a kidney stone the week after I had her, and it's true what they say- just about as painful as labor. We are all healthy and happy and Cade loves being a big brother. Here are some pictures of our princess and our family.

Can You Help a Fellow Nurse?

Hi everyone! If you think you are up for participating in a study (mostly journal writing is involved), please take a look at the post I made back on February 25, 2010. A fellow nurse is hoping to finish her dissertation by this December and still needs 10-15 more participants! Thanks!

Switzerland!

Here is a little update from the Calders (Allison Gatrell Calder):
My husband and I moved to Geneva, Switzerland last month. I am still in the process of getting my license recognized by the government here, but I hope to work as a nurse soon.

Geneva is absolutely beautiful!! If you ever have a chance (or need an excuse) to come to Europe, our home is always open. Hope all is going well!!!

The temple in Bern

At the UN headquarters in Geneva. I have been fortunate to meet some people and participate in a group involved in the advancement of Mental and Psychosocial Health awareness in the international health organisations. With this, I'll get to attend some meetings for the WHO and also the Human Rights Commission. There are some amazingly intelligent people here in Geneva.

Kalie inspired me to pass along my good news too. Wayne and I are getting married September 10th in the Portland, OR temple!

I'm Engaged!!

Hello Everyone! I thought I'd pass along the good news.... Brian Mitchell and I are getting married June 25 in the Rexburg, ID temple! :) Miss you guys and I hope you're all doing well!

CEUs

Let me share my gem of information with you about continuing education units! The easiest way I've found for earning CEUs is by going to www.netce.com. If you're wanting to earn hours by doing CEUs, I would seriously check this website out!

Also, I found out that you keep track of CEUs the same way you do with working hours. Keep documentation of all your hours in case you are audited. I guess the honor code is still in force. :)

My New Guy

Hello my dear friends!

I wanted to let you know about our new addition! I had a baby boy on February 15th, and we named him Hyrum. He is the sweetest little guy! I gave birth without pain medication (SO worth it ladies!) 1 hour and 26 minutes after AROM. If you want to read more, check out my blog. You'll find out why I wanted to go natural, and all that jazz.

Hope everyone is doing well and prospering in their respective lives and professions! If you have announcements, let's hear them!
