Got my very own Private Nurse today.

One of our Granddaughters is graduating from college/nursing school and today she got "Pinned". For new nurses, that is a big thing so we were there.

My namesake "Lynn" before the ceremony.

Yup, she got Pinned.

Just Outstanding! 8) as I read my daughter just called mom, off work, another 12+ hour day, so, give notice our nurses get worked out very hard, and deserve all compensation they get and more(my opinion). I am very happy for your family Lynn, very happy, what an outstanding accomplishment for anyone, david , waiting for my turn on the phone, take care,

My Mother was a Nurse all her life. I have great respect for those in the Medical field.
May God Bless her in her work Magic.
Nice pic.

Congrats to your grand daughter.
Nurses and teachers are 2 professions that just don't get the respect they deserve.

Congratulations to her! I also have my own private nurse, I married her ;). Thanks for the photos, you all have the right to be proud!

I see 3 faces filled with pride and happiness, well done young lady and congratulations to all.

I think i see some proud grand parents there.

Well done young lady.

moosehunter · May 24, 2013, 11:29:34 AM

Congratulations!

My wife is my private nurse. I helped her study part time for a number of years, I know how tough it is to get that degree. In NY she would now have to take a state test to become licensed. Does your grand daughter have to do that?

fat olde elf · May 24, 2013, 09:56:31 PM

Congratulations !! Nurses and teachers are high up on my list...Thank God she looks like her grandmother and not her namesake.........

mrcaptainbob · May 24, 2013, 11:14:02 PM

Wingless Angels. They deserve far more praise than they get....
Congratulations.

Howdy · May 25, 2013, 12:18:40 AM

I can only imagine how delighted your family must feel.
Thanks for sharing.

pineywoods · May 25, 2013, 11:28:54 AM

Congratulations, know how proud you are, we have been there. Our daughter, also named Lynn, is a UMMC grad. She now manages a medical clinic in Birmingham..

Yup, she reminded me that she still has to take her "board" exam.

She was picking out a wedding dress today !!! Around the 1st of November.

Lynn took her State Board exam Thursday, and PASSED. That was the last requirement before becoming a Registered Nurse.

Good for her! My wife is back in school to get registered as a respiratory therapist so I know how stressful that all can be, for you folks that aren't in the medical field this is a BIG accomplishment, after helping my wife study some I now know more about the urinary and reproductive systems of human beings than I ever cared to know ;).
