I recently decided to go back to school to become a nurse (BSN) after being a freelance (mostly medical) editor for much of my “adult” life. This blog has a lot of nursing/nursing school stuff in it because I spend most of my time on that stuff, but it’s more of a “whatever I feel like writing about” blog. You’ll find geekish discussion of gadgets and technical stuff, feminist rants, and ramblings on whatever I feel like rambling about. In my free time (yes, that IS a joke) I work crosswords and surf the Web looking for interesting but usually complicated ways to get things done. If you want to waste a lot of time trying to figure out how to save time, this blog’s for you!

    Just found your blog!
    Love it!
    You remind me of one of my classmates (whom I miss dearly) from RN school.
    I hope to read more of your journey!

    How do I subscribe to your blog?

    On the right sidebar there is an orange RSS 2.0 button; click on it, and your browser should present you with options regarding how to subscribe. Some day I will get around to adding a “subscribe by e-mail option,” but not today. :)
