Hello, Bloggers! Project #1:   Pediatric Nurse at Clear Water Medical Center Over the past year, the medical field has been on my radar-- specifically nursing. Echo Stone, a Pediatric Nurse, is a young BSN grad and has worked at Clearwater Medical Center for nine months. I chose a Pediatric Nurse since I love children and would want to specialize in that field if I pursue nursing. Echo cares for patients ranging from 0-19 years old.

I have been on 14 different planes this year, and I will have gone to Turkey three different times in the past eight months at the end of the year. This spring semester I went to a school called YWAM, which is a Christian school and lived in Kona, Hawaii for three months and then moved to Turkey for two months to do mission work.     It is the little things in life that bring me joy. Coffee and my dog are a couple of my favorite things. I am not your stereotypical white girl who orders her caramel frap, but a true hardcore coffee drinker who prefers it black.

I have played for around nine years starting ...
