I officially plan on applying to Nurse Practitioner programs to start in the 2012-2013 academic year.

I am registered for the first of my prerequisites at Quincy College and start Spring 2011. Thanks AmeriCorps Segal Education Award!!!

I’ve been itching to start volunteering again after AmeriCorps. I’m going to start volunteering with FriendshipWorks, an organization that connects volunteers with elders in need. I will be in the Medical Escort program helping folks get to and from medical appointments. I’m really excited to get started and learning more about health systems navigation for older adults.

One day I was reading up on grad schools that match the AmeriCorps Education Award, and I came across Brandeis University’s Heller School  offers a scholarship to AmeriCorps alums. I’m really interested in the Master of Public Policy in Social Policy. It’s definitely something to keep in mind for the future….

In other news…I found a kitty living in the parking garage in my apartment complex.

Her name is Fiona and she suffers from numerous ailments. Umbilical hernia, conjunctivitis, fleas, and an URI. She is on 4 medications. She is the sweetest little thing and we love her!!! I’ve been to the vet with her once a week for the 4 weeks we’ve had her. It’s been keeping me real busy…

Cleo, our first cat, is not at all impressed with her new sister. She longs to return to the days when she was an only cat.
