Congratulations Katie!

My sister Katie graduates from the College of Nursing, at The University of Florida, in May. While they were visiting us, she accepted a job offer for a nursing position at Shands, a hospital in Gainesville. Katie will be working on the "med/surge" floor (I have no idea if I spelled this right--it's nursing lingo for medical/surgery floor). This is a floor for patients who are recovering from surgery, or are hospitalized for general reasons (broken hip, pneumonia, etc.). Katie is looking forward to being finished with school, and she is happy to know what she will be doing when she graduates.


We are very proud of you Katie. It was a joy to pray with you, as you and Jimmy sought the Lord's will for this next stage of your life. I know He will use you in great ways as you take on this next endeavor.

Katie, I'm very proud of you too. I know how very important it is to a surgery recovery patient to have kind, caring nurses taking care of them while in the hospital. My mom's nurses were all such blessings to her and I know you will be a blessing to many in the near future. I also hand it to you for answering God's call to be in that profession as I am not someone who could deal with a lot of what you will see and do. Love, Kim
