I'm Kyle! I'm 20 and a nursing student at Firelands Regional Medical Center School of Nursing. I work as a STNA in a nursing home, which always leads to lots of interesting stories. I can't wait to graduate and finally move on to hopefully even more fun times!
This is why I’m so thankful I have a set job once I graduate. The school I’m in is through a hospital, and they’ll give me a job upon graduation. I don’t plan on staying there forever, but the experience is going to help me get another job.

- Enjoy a warm latte or mocha.
- Retreat to the nearest day spa.
- Enjoy each day of your life (no matter what)!
- Remember why YOU became a NURSE.

Thank goodness! I needed to hear that.
I wake up craving Taco Bell because thats what I get every night at work.
My best friend is pregnant and in nursing school right now. And her fiancee (the babies dad) just left her. I don’t know how she’s going to do it.
How a face forms in the womb
KILL IT WITH FIRE
I’m not that ugly, after all.
We worked with cadavers every week in my anatomy class, but the only time we worked with the head was when we took the brain out. Even then we never got to see the face or cut away any of the skin to learn about it.
