Paula W. - Introduction

I posted this yesterday but apparently I was doing it wrong! It ended up as a comment attached to Jamie's Welcome Aboard post! LOL This is all new to me so bear with me. I figured out now how to post so I moved it here.

My name is Paula Whalen and I am a BSN student at the Flint cohort. I am married and I have 2 children, a boy 11 and a girl 14. I work third shift as an ICU nurse at Genesys. I work in the Medical ICU, so we see some very unusual things. Our favorite saying is "you couldn't make up the things we see". I have been there almost 8 years.

My family, including my parents, are active in showing dogs. My mom is a very active dog show judge and judges dog shows in many parts of the world. My daughter, Kacey, has a dog that finished last year at #7 for her breed and won best female in the sweepstakes at the national show last July. We have a beagle as a house dog but our family breed is the Affenpinscher. It is a relatively scarce toy dog that has a flattened face and weighs about 5 pounds.

We like to travel and have been lucky enough to take my kids to 4 foreign countries so far. The farthest that I have traveled was to India for 3 weeks on a medical mission.I hope this semester goes well for everyone!
