How to make FREE Party Invites

I don’t ever send out personal invitations in the mail these days! I just make an event on FB and invite everyone, unless, of course, they’re not on FB. I was searching for a template & found this website: . . .

Just Waiting. . .

Now it’s just a waiting game until I get to take my certification exam. 2 weeks. It got moved back another week so I had to move my start date in the O.R. from the 13th to the 20th. I feel like once you graduate you are done & it’s hard to get yourself to continue studying. I’m just enjoying my time off at this point. We did do a fun mud run this weekend. Then I had to work the next day. Luckily I walk a lot for my job so I wasn’t so sore, which still surprised me with everything we had to do. It was rough during the last half of the 3 miles.

We had so much fun though!!

Class of 2022

You guys!!!…. my first professional photoshoot is in the books! What a fun memory. I’m so glad I did it. This was such a huge moment for me! My photographer was absolutely amazing! And it was such a great feeling walking across the stage to get my diploma & having my family there to support me! what a journey it has been. And it’s just getting started! June 13th is my official start date in the O.R. as a CST! I will be transferring over from dietary. I’m going to miss my kitchen peeps, but I’ll get to drop in & say hi when I stop by to grab lunch! Ha! So, that’s a plus!

Anyways… I wanted to drop some of my favorite photos from my session.

Intra-Op Practice Questions… can you get them correct?

How many can you get correct?? The intra-operative test questions are my MOST missed questions. I have been typing up a study guide especially on the intra-operative test questions to study! I will add the difficulty level after each question! Here are a few to try out:

ST Final!

🙌 HELLO all!! I passed my ST FINAL!!! I’m so excited. I got a 73%. The only downfall is it dropped my 94 to an 89.5! I wish she would have rounded it up. I have always maintained a 4.0, so it’s super hard losing my 4.0 at the absolute last second. I end with a 3.83. So not even Magna Cum Laude, but the lowest honor: Cum Laude. I mean I shouldn’t complain, that’s still a huge accomplishment. But it’s seriously heartbreaking after all my hard work! What a bummer.

Anyways…
