Love. Science. Art. Nursing.

23. Nursing student, former art history major, soon-to-be mom (October 7th!).
I love to travel, and I love art.
I'm a pretty darn crunchy vegan.
I'm inspired by color, texture, gross anatomy, literature, feminism, nature, education, and love.
I live in Midtown, Memphis, and it's great.
I married my best friend on October 15th, 2011, and I've loved every second.

Must buy. Haha.

We can’t jump off bridges anymore because our iPhones will get ruined. We can’t take skinny dips in the ocean, because there’s no service on the beach and adventures aren’t real unless they’re on Instagram. Technology has doomed the spontaneity of adventure and we’re helping destroy it every time we Google, check-in, and hashtag.

Maybe I should ask this little girl to take my midwifery emergencies practical exam for me?

This child is the mos awesome.

Oh my god all the cute!

Being a nurse isn’t about grades, it’s about being who we are. No book can teach you how to cry with a patient. No class can teach you how to tell their family that their parents have died or are dying. No professor can teach you how to find dignity in giving someone a bed bath. A nurse is not about the pills or the charting. It’s about being able to love people when they’re at their weakest moments.

Harvested eye donation — only the cornea is used for corneal transplants and the sclera can sometimes be used for sight-saving surgery. The rest of the eye is sometimes used for research to aid in future treatment of eye disease

And it is quite possibly the grossest thing you’ll ever watch. And that’s coming from someone who actually likes surgery.

Bluck no more eyeballs mkay?

I imagine a certain professor of mine won’t be getting ANY decent SETEs this semester.
