Fencing club, Mahidol university, Thailand in 1994 #3

I am not so sure if anybody who read my blog would consider going to the sport club on your weekend while you are in the college is a fun thing to do. But for me, HELL YEAH! I loved doing that even I was not good about fencing and got soooooooooo tired every single week. Imagine I loved wearing this cool practice suit in the steaming hot gym and you would not believe that.

I know not everybody would feel comfortable wearing this suit and must imagine how hot you would be in that outfit. But we had fun and practiced real hard during that time with the hope we would win in the competition. As I mentioned earlier that there are quite a few of the competitions for the college kids like us all year long until the biggest tournament of a year, right? For sure, we practiced that hard for the big day and hope we could get something from there.

The picture above shows my club mate who practiced Seber and only the guy in the left of the picture that were not the same age as me. They all were medicine doctor and now as far as I know, the one in the middle is a medical director or a president ( not sure which word fits better) of the hospital somewhere in Thailand. I am so proud of him though.

In this picture is a friend of mine who practice Epee with my senior club mate who was in the last year of the medical school by that time. Once you are in the last year of medical school you pretty practice and learn as a doctor. They needed to be on the floor, they needed to be in the operation room, they needed to be on call. Plus, they also have to take a lot of tests and submit a lot of reports. But for their club mates especially in the competition days like that. At least a couple of them must came to help us getting dress or driving around to find food to feed us. Can you imagine how busy those guys would be? He even came to help and cheer us in the medical student uniform. How nice!!!

This is another club mate during that time and he was the senior friend who practiced Epee. In the picture above, he was about ready for the competition. He was a good fencer for me and I think he still practicing as the great doctor somewhere in Thailand.

Fencing is always fast and intense. Everything happens in only a second. You need to be very strong and fast. On top of that you also have to think fast and learn how to read your competitor's mind in order to win. Too bad I did not have picture of myself in the fencing suit and on the competition matt though. I can't imagine how many pictures I would have if I was in the club today. I may not have enough data space in my computer to keep them all.

Fencing Club, Mahidol university, Thailand in 1994 #2

Not only seeing the swords, masks, gloves, and some more fencing stuff on the table in the enrolling day. But that weekend I was invited to go to the competition at Chulalongkorn university also. Can you imagine how impressed I was that day? I was amazed form all of those amateur fencers that day who practiced so hard to be in the battle field.

Can you imagine how many time that I was in a jaw dropping moment with the competition that day? Ooooooh... MY HEAVEN! I think it was countless! If you watch the clip closely, you will see a lot of movements, postures, attacking moments, and defensing strategies which for me, they all are sooooo beautiful. So? So what? Definitely, I went to practice the next weekend at Siriraj hospital.

I also saw fencing in the movie and that day it was " The Three Musketeers " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three_Musketeers  which is one of the most classical kid stories. They did the fencing and also showed the nice postures in it a lot. Plus, these kinds of swords are the ancient sword for the warriors in those days.

Another childhood memory about fencing is " The Mask of Zoro" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mask_of_Zorro even it was not the one that stared by Antonio Banderas  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Banderas and Catherine Zeta Jones  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_Zeta-Jones. But imagine after all of that practicing and those years that I was in to the fencing, how many times I smiled while I was watching the movie in the theatre??? 

Picture credit from GooGle search engine.

It was quite longtime after I graduated from university that I had the chance to see that sexy postures with the sword as a fencer again. Don't you think the way they were fighting in the movie or fighting the bad guys are sexy? No? You are weird!

Another movie that my charming handsome old man took an action with the fencing fighting was " 007Jamese Bond, Die another day"  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_Another_Day. That episode got Pierce Brosnan  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierce_Brosnan, my sexy and wise actor stared as 007, the world most attractive spy.

I just love fencing so much I guess. I still living on a big hope to get back to practice the fencing again. But for now only talking about it I already put a million of big smiles to my face.

Let talk about the posture we need to practice a lot for now. As I mentioned last post about the fencing, it was a repeating fundamental of fencing that we need to do a lot as the routine warm up. 

Picture credit from GooGle search engine.

The picture above shows the posture that could compare to " lunge post"    http://www.wikihow.com/Do-Lunges with attacking feeling. You must have to practice this posture MANY times with your imagination in the air to stretch off you legs and arm. Then you would practice with the dummy in the same posture to get yourself learning how to aim the goal which is your competitor. Not only throw your sword into the air in front of you. That would be my answer about the frequent we needed to practice with this posture both of by ourselves and with the dummy. It is not only anywhere you could raise up your score on the competitor's body in the certain type of sword.

Picture credit from GooGle search engine.

See how you would get score by attacking? If you notice you would also see the " lunge post" in action with the fencing as well. Imagine how important of crazy routine practice warm up now, do you?

Fencing is a sport that you could choose what type of sword you would like to enjoy. When I was young in the university, as I mentioned I was very skinny and I am sure I could call bonny. I chose to fight with " foil "  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foil_(fencing) If I remember it right, the reason I was chosen to be the foil fencer was I was pretty tall with long arms for another foil fencers in Thailand.

Picture credit from GooGle search engine.

Guess what? If I could choose or if by that time they had no rules for the girls I would chose to be the Sabre fencer. Simple because it was very fun and not so much rules to remember. You could pretty much get score from anywhere of your competitor's body.

It is a picture of  Alina Komashchuk (L) of Ukraine and Yana Egorian (R) of Russia compete in the women's sabre team final during the 8th day of the 2013 Fencing World Championships in Budapest, Hungary on Aug. 12, 2013. Ukraine beat Russia 45-44 winning gold medal. (Xinhua/Attila Volgyi)

I still remember the days that we practiced together and of course, the days that I went to the club only for chitchat and practice nothing. Then went out for dinner with my friends. No, don't say that you never  done that. I know you have done that many many times, haha...

RNtertainment, the NCLEX Examination review game.

Actually I am in the middle of making decision about my future. As I mentioned before about my bachelor degree that I got from Thailand almost 20 years ago was about nursing. In order to practice in USA, I need to be licensed to be the registered nurse first. So I need to take the test which calls " NCLEX RN" or "National Council Licensure Examination"  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Council_Licensure_Examination On top of that, this Florida where the criterias of the foreign applicants are different than the other states. I may talk about that part later on if I have enough accurate informations.

A few days ago I was wondering what should I do and how to start the processes. I always prefer the actually books and stuff than just looking online. So I decided to go to BAM, Book A Million  http://www.booksamillion.com/ to take a look what would be my other choices more than just the book. It was very fun walking around and picking something interesting to find out what were inside. Then I finally found something interesting and it was sealed. 

Damn it!!! It was a game and it seemed to be fun because it was not a book. But it was sealed!!!

Picture was taken by Ms. Joanna Ainscough

Well... it was not a cheap stuff, of course. I went back home and still kept thinking about it. I finally ordered it online and it got delivered just this afternoon. I could not even wait for a second to open the game after tore down the box, haha...

Tada.... I got an educational game for my MAY-BE future. RNtertainment, the NCLEX examination Review Game, the game that perhaps help me decide whether I should go back to the nursing field or find something else for myself.

VDO from YouTube by Ms. Joanna Ainscough

I decided to create this YouTube clip to show everything inside the box because I could not see anything when I found it at BAM. Hopefully it helps some nursing students or whoever that will take the NCLEX pretty soon. It seems to be a fun game especially if you have some friends close by to make it a game night. It looks like any board game for me but also educates you in the same time. The box contains lots of cards, board, cones, dice, and a booklet of answers&rationales. 

Picture was taken by Ms. Joanna Ainscough

The board is pretty study and foldable so you could keep everything together back into the box after you are done playing it with your friends. It gets 4 spots where you need to place your game cards on them following the color of the spot and the cards. It has the start spot and finish spot to show you where the beginning of the game and where you would be call " The Winner".

Picture was taken by Ms. Joanna Ainscough

In my point of view, these piles of cards are quite thick and look a little scary. But if the game work I do not mind about the thickness. As long as the game does the job and helps me pass through another though time in my life. The cards are categorized into 4 groups of nursing knowledges and they are all in different color. One group contains 200 questions each which means you would get 800 questions totally. Does it sound like quite a few nursing questions to practice for you? Definitely for me, I know about that.

Picture was taken by Ms. Joanna Ainscough

Not only the 4 groups of nursing questions you would get but you would also have quite a few of "Test-Taking Traps" cards and " Test-Taking Tips " cards to guide you to what you should do and what you should not do.

I would be a lot happier if the part of choices would be covered. So I could play the game by myself whenever or anytime I could not find anyone. You know what I am talking about? If they covered the answer from the choices you could read the question and choices but still do not know which choice is the answer. So with this version I still need someone to play with me. I think my boyfriend would be the first victim for sure.

Picture was taken by Ms. Joanna Ainscough

The picture above shows the actual question in the game which also shows you the answer is in the green color. It stands out from the other choices. But I think because the game created to be multiplayers kind and it need be the other players read the question and choices for you to answer. Not designed to be just for you to enjoy by yourself.

Picture was taken by Ms. Joanna Ainscough

From the VDO on YouTube you would see that I showed you about another thing you will get along with the cards and stuff. It is a booklet that tells you answers&rationales which only has a brief explanation. But as I said you are the students, you've been in the classes, or you perhaps already graduated from the nursing school. I am sure you would have a better and longer explanation than that. Or you could even ask the reasons from the friend who is the person that answer that question. Just makes the game a little more fun and challenge, isn't it? 

If I have more time after play the game more often. I would come back for another blog to tell you if I obtain any knowledge and how much I enjoy the game. If you have any questions about the game or want to see more pictures from the box. Please do not hesitate to ask me. I will be more than happy to give you a chance so you will spend money wisely and get the most benefit out of it. 

Fencing club, Mahidol university, Thailand in 1994. #1

What did you do after class when you were in the university? There are just all kinds of activities you could choose depends on your interesting, right? In the campus, you could do the real personal stuff like taking a nap which I know it must be tons of the students have chosen that. Or you could walking around for a peaceful sightseeing even you might have seen everywhere for many many time. Or you could do some exercises with friends like bike riding. Or you could do the musical thing or other kinds of hobby in the club.

Yes, in the club where is not the musical club in the night that you could dance like tomorrow would never come. I only meant the club where people gather to do something they love in common.

When I was in the university I chose to do fencing. Ooooooooh... NO NO! You did not hear anything wrong. Not even a bit, my dear. I was a fencer but unfortunately I was not the real good one.

Picture credit from GooGle search engine.

Around the first month or the second month of the first trimeter after the students got into the dorm. It was one evening that all of the clubs with the members came to the campus to enroll the new members for their club. Yeeeeeeeeah... they could get as many as signatures they could imagine just to sign up and saying that those new members would go to the club realistically. But for sure and everybody knows about it that is not everyone of those new enrolled member would do.

Among those popular clubs, it was just one club that really caught my attention. It was a fencing club where I saw these amazing stuff like the fencing swards, that cool masks, and of course, the suits on the enroll table.

" Oooooooh My Holy GOD!!! That is for real? " I must be that rude girl who said that out loud in my mind when I saw them. It was just really the dream and definitely I only saw this stuff only in the movie. For sure, I signed up myself to the fencing club and went to attend the competition at  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chulalongkorn_University the next weekend. 

Picture credit from GooGle search engine.

In 1994, it was a big competition for the college kids like us all year round to practice. Sometimes it was at the university, sometimes it was at the pre-cardet school for the military guy  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armed_Forces_Academies_Preparatory_School  where is right now they have moved that stadium to else where. And if I remember it right, that stadium was in the heart of the city right next to Lumphini park http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumphini_Park   where is right now is one of the biggest public park in Bangkok.

Most of the members in this club were the medical students from Siriraj hospital. Can you imagine how they have free time? But they did and we did practice the fencing many times a week including to Saturday morning together.

Picture credit from GooGle search engine.

The picture above shows the basic pose that all of the fencers know that you have to practice pretty much all the time. Not even mention many many many many tiiiiiiiiiiiiiimes until you perhaps do not know how to walk properly. In my opinion, it needs to be practice so much because it is the basic pose which give you score in the competition.

In order to be a good fencer you need to be a very healthy and strong person. The competition takes all day unless you lost since the first competitor in the morning. It takes a lot of energy to attack your competitor and defense the attack from your competitor as well. Plus, we were not in the a/c stadium though. Therefor imagine the weather in Thailand with that fencing suit, can you?

Picture credit from GooGle search engine.

For practicing, we usually started from running around the stadium where was the basketball field plus a few rooms where the shooting clubs located. I don't know how many square foot of it but it was quite big for me to run before the fencing practicing. Especially when you have to run in the no a/c for about 10 or 20 rounds of the basketball field. Anytime when I thought about that practicing I always wondered if there is anybody would run in the sport bar and short shorts like I am doing these days or not. It was freaking hot in that building.

It was a 2 stories building closed to the medical students' dorm in side Siriraj hospital. It was  I think right now it must transform to be something big and more useful already. It was such a remarkable place for all of the students and staff who love sport though.

Picture credit from GooGle search engine.

The picture I found on GooGle search engine above is a picture of the dorm where the female medical students stayed in the 1900's and it was located right next to the stadium or the sport club where we practiced the fencing. 

Getting back to my practice session, after running on the second floor of the sport club. We will do the basic pose that I showed you by the picture above to stretch out the legs. Then we will practice the same pose with the dummy or with the other members. After all of those practicing, we usually have a small competition among us. Putting the suit on, getting all the mechanical stuff on and then letting the attacking and defensing go on for real. 

Picture credit from GooGle search engine.

It was such a good time to have something to do with friends in the weekend beside just hanging out for something silly. Being the member of the fencing club was one of the very good decisions while I was study. Too bad it was not a fencing club around my house right now. Otherwise I would get back to practice and do my best to be a better fencer.

Life as a nursing student at Siriraj hospital, Mahidol University in Thailand #2

Okie, Okiiiiiiiiie... I have sometime the past weekend a little bit so I had a chance to look and also dig myself into the boxes of pictures. I found some pictures of myself at Mahidol, Salaya campus to show you all. Hopefully one day some of them would be requested to be in the museum.

Bought this picture from a fair in the campus at 1994

The picture above shows the lecture building in 1994 where all of the students would attend the classes. But I was not sure which number of this building and it was taken by who. I could only recall that we used this " L " or lecture room that you all must understand the term better for the lecture class when we first started our university life back there.

Thailand is a country of smile and we have that much smiles because we are very very happy. On top of that we are packed with holiday, of course, H O L I D A Y ssssssss... All kinds of holiday all year long. Somebody counted them and told me one day long time ago that we actually have holiday every month. Can you imagine that? 

Therefor, if I could contact some of my classmates to get the pictures from the old days where we had that much fun as the teenager with those holidays or the activities back there. I would write some blogs to have you all enjoy them with me.

Pictures were taken in front of dorm #1 and 2 in 1995

I also found these 2 pictures of myself and my roommates who we lived and enjoyed our dorm life as a freshiiiiiiie together at Salaya campus 20 years ago. We stayed at room number 1321 where was in front of the bathroom. Nooooooo, noooooooope, noooooo, you did not hear anything wrong. I said my room was in front of the bathroom.

Back then, the dorm had that shape of " H " which you would see the bridge section of " H " behind the first picture of these 2 pictures above which connected dorm number1 and number 2 together. At the beginning and the end of the building of each floor were the locations of the shared bathrooms. One side of the shared bathroom was the restroom and another side was the shower rooms. 

Imagine early in the morning of every weekdays, do you think I would ever wake up late? NO WAY! I would be waken up by some girls who woke up earlier than me and came to take shower. Not even just one at a time because sometimes they " 4 " came together and chitchat. OMG!!! They were my alarm clock back then.

Picture was taken in side The Recline Buddha Temple in 1995

Now, it is the time to see me in the uniform, I intended to show myself in the uniform to explain you about our outfit after class when we were in Mahidol, Salaya campus. As I said earlier that all of Thai students wore uniform since we got into school until we graduated and that is my uniform with Mahidol University. We will have a pure white short sleeve shirt with either black or dark blue skirt. 

Plus, we got the pin on the chest. Mahidol University pin needs to be on the right side of the blouse which is the only one university in Thailand who had that uniqueness. Oh well... another uniqueness after the bow tie and neck tie for the freshiiiiiiie like us to do AGAIN. But nobody shamed to represent that but we were proud of my university so much.

@@@ PLEASE NOTE@@@ The picture was taken 20 years ago so it was not a slutty modified uniform like the kids these days like to wear though.

By the time I was in the freshmen, it was the first year that university students started to wear " slim fit" which recently it became " REALLY tight fit" to show off all the assets they have to the world. 

Back to my topic, as I said once we were done from classes in the afternoon. Mostly, we would have so much chances to go to anywhere because of the distance from the city. We all would just gathered in the campus. The outfit that everybody must had at that day was the fisherman pants as I show you the picture of them last blog and the top of the uniform. 

If you notice closely at the set of the 2 pictures above you would see the prints or cartoon animation in the fisherman pants that we wore as well. Not so sure if these days the new generation of my university still wear something like this after class or not. I would find out from some of my friends who have their kids who will study there one day pretty soon. The first girl who got married and has kid in my class, right now her daughter is 16 years old and will interested into medical field, who knows? 

Only one thing I knew right now is time flies soooooooooo fast. It's been 20 years already, how old am I? Damn it!!! I do not have enough fingers and toes to count them all. Can I borrow yours?

Life as a nursing student at Siriraj hospital, Mahidol University in Thailand #1

When I first came to Florida, USA around 6 years ago and heard you could go to nursing school part time. Imagine how shock I was at that moment when I first heard about it??? I studied 4 years continuously from dawn to dusk and got BSN; Bachelor Science of Nursing which I am sure we all could possibly agree about it if any of my classmates read this blog. Not only the hours per day but also the break during the trimester. Including to summer time which ALL students on this globe waiting for every year. Guess what? I could recall that I had the fun summer time as a teenager when I was in the freshmen ONLY!

Picture captured from www.ns.mahidol.ac.th

Can you help me count and find out which month I missed in the picture above? We usually have 12 months in 1 year and student will have summer break either starts from March or April in Thailand. Or from other months after May in USA which we will count the break up to around 3 months. But from the picture above, I do not see the summer break but I only see the summer trimester. 

No, we did not have the choice to do the classes during the summer at all. When I was young, as I said around 20 years ago in the university, we already had all the classes set up fro us since the day we got accepted from the university. Wondering about the students who could not pass some classes, right? I have no idea at all about where were they after that. I may ask some of my friends who have been professor and teach at the faculty sometime.

Picture credit from GooGle search engine

By the time I was studying at that campus, it was a very huge and dated place due to the distance from the city. The picture above really shows the actual dorm I stayed over there in the clean and bright look. Believe in any ghosts or superpower stories? Definitely got some at that kind of place among the big old trees and I will find some to tell you later on.

Picture credit from GooGle search engine

We used a lot of bicycles to go around the campus as it is such a huge place and not so much of the kids those days would have the chance to own the car. Therefor we got the place to park the bikes nearby the lecture buildings, canteen, management department, and of course, our dorm.

Picture credit from GooGle search engine

How fun it could be that we could ride the bike after school in the evening in the campus which is filled with trees. Most of the students in Thailand even in the university wear uniform so we would only took the skirt or pants out and wear the fisherman pants and flipflop. Before the school starts at the beginning of the year and before we move ourselves into the dorm, we will see the senior students waiting for us at the bus stop to sell this pants. 

Picture credit from GooGle search engine

It took a lot of practice to be able to wear this pants without loosing them to the ground. I am pretty sure we all experienced once at least. The ones that we had usually had some fun prints with the name of university, some cartoons that represented the fun part of being the student here.

Oh well... talking to me without food issue doesn't sound like you are talking to the real " Joanna" at all. So we are gonna go to a little bit of the food in our campus a little bit. We used the word " canteen" for our food court, cafeteria, or food center. However we did not call it in Thai but we called " canteen" since then and that was how I put this vocabulary into my book.

Picture credit from GooGle search engine

In the morning, pretty early of course, around 7am at the canteen. You would see the young hungry crow who are all still look like they are not really up from bed and ready to school. But one common thing that every has is the hungry look. When I was there I stayed at the dorm number1 at room number 1321. I was pretty much just opposite to the canteen so the first place after got off from the bathroom was canteen. 

Picture credit from GooGle search engine

All kinds of Thai food you could imagine in the student price which we all could afford to enjoy. Whatever you like, anything you could imagine, to order for your breakfast, lunch or dinner. It is really your choice to make to have either the ready-to-eat dish, cook-by-order dish, or noodle, or all of them.

Picture credit from GooGle search engine

Those are only the food in the day time but what about after the canteen closed down in the evening around 8pm, what would we do? At that time, 1994, we only had this kind of place. The little warm friends gathering spot in the campus which sponsored by Coca-Cola. That kind of little booth or stand sold only snacks, desserts in the bag, soda pops, and some other drinks in the can. We were kids so we got hungry pretty much all day all night, you know?

Picture credit from GooGle search engine

I graduated from high school with only around not more than 90 pounds with 5 feet and 6 inches. But by the time I finished my first year at this campus I gained around 25 pounds even I rode the bike and played around the campus with my roommates and my classmates. Sigh... nothing could stop my mouth and keep me away from food REALLY!

Life as a nursing student in the campus.

At my nursing school which is under Mahidol University, we studied so hard with a lot of hours both of lecture and hands-on classes. As I mentioned earlier at the freshmen we will be far from the city at Salaya campus where is right now is completely opposite of what I familiar with 20 years ago. We were there to study basic science with all of the students and stayed in the dorm. Imagine we studied full time from 8 am until 4pm in the evening and only had lunch break for an hour? I never expected I could do it again after I knew the other faculties or any other universities had more free time than us.

The picture below shows what the students would do in free time in the campus which we, the nursing students, did not have when I was in the university. We went to the lecture class from 8am until 4pm and for practical class from 7am until 3pm. But " NO" we usually arrived at the floor by 6ish am and stayed until we really finished our assignment which could possibly be around 4pm. at least.

Picture credit from GooGle search engine

Once we finished the first year we will move to another dorm closer to the hospital. The main reason was just because life was getting harder and in need to wake up earlier to go to school plus getting some practicing classes. Prior to that moment we got one more remarkable activity for all of us who pass through one of the toughest times of our life as the nursing freshies ( I specifically invented this word exclusively for me. Oooops!!!). We had a nursing cap ceremony at the very first day of the second year in the nursing school.

Picture credit from GooGle search engine

The picture above shows the differences of nursing student and the practicing RN from Ramathibodi hospital which also under Mahidol university. If  you take a serious look at the picture closely you will notice that they are in the different uniform and the cap they are wearing are not exactly the same. The practicing RN wears the cap with the black band on it and the general RNs will have only 1 band. But the head RN of the floor will have 2 bands and the exclusive RN who is not really practicing the nursing procedure but incharges or manages the department, building, or hospital will have 2 bands.

So for the nursing student we will only wear just the plain white cap without any band. As I said, at the very first day we will be in the nursing cap ceremony and get the pure white nursing cap from our honorable professors. We were among our senior nursing students and pretty all of the professors in the faculty plus the dean.

Picture credit from GooGle search engine

We woke up pretty early to get ready for the ceremony. Iron the uniform, tight up the hair, put some make up on, and blah blah blaaaaaaaaah... Getting a ride to the faculty by a truck that modified to be our private transportation from the dorm. 

Picture credit from GooGle search engine

After got the cap from the dean we got a cap first on our head as a practicing nursing student by the professors. And of course, getting picture afterward. 

If it is happening to me these days we would have the selfie picture, and post those pictures on any social medias, right? How many websites we would like to see these days... Facebook, Twitter,  Instagram, Pinterest, Blogger...

Most of the nursing students in Thailand wear the student uniform differently than Siriraj hospital. Pretty much all of them wear apron on top of the pure white dress and some nursing school wear blue dress. To be honest to all of you, I thought that was so pretty and for sure I wish I could have that pretty uniform instead of this pure white dress that I needed to wear.

Picture credit from GooGle search engine

But after all of these years I looked back again I would not regret to wear that pure white with the plan cap though. It looks professional and provides us the maturity by wearing the uniform so much. I still do not have time to find my own picture in the uniform for my own blog so far. I will get myself to do it sometime pretty soon even I am not so sure I could find one. I even recall I have taken picture with the uniform at all.

Picture credit from GooGle search engine

That is a picture of RN in Siriraj hospital now and then. The reason I said I might not really have picture of myself in the uniform because when I first graduated I started my nursing life as a scrub nurse and working in the operation room where we did not wear that white uniform.
