Hi everyone! I am a level 4 RN student at British Columbia Institute of Technology's (BCIT) nursing program. In the upcoming months until June 2011, I will be sharing my experience as a student and from nursing school with everyone. During my spare time, I enjoy drawing, daydreaming, or just take my time and rest. The most enjoyable moment in my practicum were the moments when I made my patients smile during their stay in the hospital, and I hope that I can also make each one of you smile! Please feel free to fire me any questions you have, or simply enjoy reading my long blurbs here in the future! Take care and see you soon!

Ah, it’s already June.
