I have been a Registered Nurse in the ICU for 5 years. During this time I got married and had two children. Now that I am knee deep in the world of the working mother, I am finding that my priorities have changed drastically. I struggle with finding balance between my old priorities (which are still high ranking on my lifetime priority list) and my new priorities (which, by definition, are also high ranking on my lifetime priority list). My blog will focus on the insights of a professional nurse returning to graduate school while managing a household composed of "two in diapers", a husband, and a 1 1/2 year old puppy who thinks she's one of the kids.
