An introduction

Hi there! My name's Brittany... this is my blog. Let me tell you a little about myself so you know whether or not you're interested in reading on: I live in British Columbia, Canada, on a little rainy island off the mainland. I'm 19 and live at home with my parents and younger brother, all of whom are amazing. Lastly, I'm a nursing student. Wow, that's still a thrill to say... you see, I just finished my first week of classes and so everything is still new and slightly confusing, but wonderful. Nursing is what I've wanted to do for years. There was always some indecision about whether it should be nursing or social work/counseling but Nursing won out in the end when I was accepted to the program at a community college close to where I live. Perfect.

Why am I writing this? Because I want to share what's going on in my life. Partially, it's for my family. We all live in different places and don't get the chance to talk that often, so I thought having a website full of updates on my life would keep them in the loop. Partially, it's for anyone out there that's thinking about going in to nursing, or is in nursing already that wants to hear that other people are going through what they are, or meet someone similar to themselves.

Whoever you are, wherever you're living, you are welcome to read this, even to comment because I just love comments. My program is 4 years long, and I've got one week done. Yikes... but they tell me that it flies by. I hope they're right :) I plan to keep this blog faithfully during my time in schooling, just how regular my posts will be has yet to be seen.

Thanks and happy blogging!
