What's New?!

So here's a life update since it's officially spring quarter at UCLA.

During spring break, all i did was work and make up for lost income. Ron and I don't share the same spring break so it made no sense for me to lounge around while he was in San Diego. I think I only had four days off in my two week spring break! I did however become NICU PICC certified after inserting three PICC lines in three babies, which is another skill I can now add to my resume.

Some spring break celebrations included my cousin MM's 18th Birthday in San Diego and our friends, Mia & Jasper's wedding in Vegas just this past weekend!

Additionally, I spent alot of time catching up with old friends over dinner. That was definitely a treat in itself and I'm so greatful to those who took time away from their busy schedules to meet up (Alfredo, Vina, Chel, Robert, Carlo, Grace, Dez, Joanna, and Jen)! I know we say this alot, but we definitely have to keep in touch and get together more often!

Also, Ron finally ended his 3 month clinical rotation in San Diego!! This means that he'll be coming home every day after clinical rather than coming home only on the weekends! Although it was hard to get used to in the beginning, I tried hard not to complain much... I knew he was being exposed to some awesome cases and getting his ass worked. Also, his school had provided weekly hotel accommodations and Kaiser San Diego offered complimentary breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I'm sure he'll be missing his late nights of pillow talk.. eRr i mean venting with Lance, but hey he'll survive! His new clinical site is Kaiser Panaroma City, so he'll be dealing with the LA traffic now. But don't feel toooo bad for him, next year in May he'll be in his Hawaii rotation for a month!! I'm currently working on figuring out a way to visit him since I'll be busy in my last month of grad school during that time!

Anyways as I mentioned earlier, spring quarter has officially started. This is also my first quarter of practicum aka preceptorship. Luckily for me, I was matched at St. Joseph's with their CNO. Although I wasn't expecting to follow a CNO on my first practicum, atleast I'm only driving to Orange County rather than driving to LA! Other than my practicum, I'm currently enrolled in nursing finance and brand management at Anderson's business school. Hopefully this quarter is alot smoother than last quarter!
