Amy, the Nurse Practioner

Our beautiful daughter, Amy, graduated from nurse practioner school on April 30th.

Look at that beautiful smile!

This girl is amazing.  She became an RN about seven years ago and has been working in the ER since.  She loves her job and was recently named nurse of the year in the ER department and is up for nurse of the year for the whole hospital.  We couldn't be more proud.  A few years after she graduated she decided to go back to school to get her bachelor's in nursing.  That was quite an accomplishment in itself.  Amy realized she wanted more, so about two years ago she started school to be a nurse practioner.  I guess she didn't have enough to keep her busy, because in the middle of all this she had another baby.  That makes four kids!  Wow!  She is amazing!  She has been working nights on the weekends, going to school and doing clinicals.  Add raising four kids to the mix and I just don't know how she has done it.  She is so determined.  So if I sound like I'm bragging, that's because I am!
