Summer Break


Hello! I am officially on summer break! I haven’t had a summer break since I started school three years ago. Even though it is “only” a six week break, not the whole summer, it seems a little surreal! I have no homework, clinical, tests, lecture, or skills lab to prepare for! However, I do plan to make sure I keep on track and work to be prepared for the start of fall semester. Today I’m talking about things to do to balance summer fun, work, and preparing to return to school in the fall.Read More

For this rotation I went to three different units in the hospital as well as an outpatient clinic, and each came with it’s own unique experience! I included a little information on my experience on each unit, as well as things to review before you go to this unit yourself. Read More

Sun Safety 101


Summer is officially in full swing! Everyone is outside for pool and beach days, camping, cookouts, festivals, and working in the yard! It is definitely one of my favorite times of year. I love to get outside and enjoy the sunshine. 4th of July is this weekend, and I am sure a lot of people have some fun outdoor plans! With holidays and summer here, I wanted to take a few minutes to discuss sun safety. No matter the color of your skin, hair, eyes, or how invisible to the sun you believe you are, everyone can burn and have negative effects from the sun. Read More

Fort McAllister Historic State Park Vacation- May 2016


Hello! I hope everyone had a fun and relaxing weekend. To all the weekend and holiday warriors who worked, thank you!

We love and appreciate you more than words can say.

For Memorial Day weekend we went to Fort McAllister State Park with my parents for a family vacation! Fort McAllister is in Richmond Hills, Georgia, just outside of Savannah. Read More
