WOW! Looking back I can not believe that I have now lived here in Germany for a solid year! I have to admit the move was a HUGE leap for me. Both personally as well as proffesionally! I moved here knowing it was not going to be easy. Easy to be so far from my family, easy to be working with the military, or easy to care from 19 yr old amputate triple. And I assure you it has not be easy on any of those accounts. I have had my ups and downs, both personally as well as at work streching my knowledge of trauma to care for those assigned to me. After this last year working here at LRMC I can say that I have found a calling like no other. I deeply enjoy my work here. The soliders I care for and their families are an amazing group that I am honored to care for.<br /><br />It was the hand of God that brought me here through the wounderful Shannon Wombel. (her and I pictued above). I would like everyone to know that though my two year contract ends in September I will be extending to continue my work here.<br /><br />Thank you each and everyone for your support and love. There are no words to express how much it helps me knowing you still love me even when I am so far away !!!!!Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17229438053395481518noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1677443471672665873.post-60088839004287464042010-01-20T04:00:00.005-05:002010-01-20T04:28:54.420-05:00September in ScotlandHad fun in September in Scotland!!!!

I have been here in Germany now nine months, yeah a number that does not escape me. So in nine months my new life here has grown into something I can be pound of. The work at the hospital gives me a great deal of pride in my profession. As some of y'all may know becoming a nurse was a bit of a leap for me. I was not the type of gal or person (just to keep it pc here folks) who has always wanted to be a nurse since they were small. I was just driving home from a friends house in TN one summer (I had already been at UT for two years at this point) when God and I had a little talk and I decided to become a nurse from then on.<br /><br /><br />Who knew that one little talk and a few years of school would have me living in Germany taking care of our Nations heroes!!!!!! I just wanted to thank everyone of y'all for your support!<br /><br /><br />And now for more pictures, come on its the real reason people visit blogs we love the pretty pictures and music!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YKq66jZmKZE/Sjujnt5epUI/AAAAAAAAAcs/GPPwZHlcpjs/s1600-h/Ireland+June+2009+016.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349048885163500866" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YKq66jZmKZE/Sjujnt5epUI/AAAAAAAAAcs/GPPwZHlcpjs/s320/Ireland+June+2009+016.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YKq66jZmKZE/SjujoOM6LCI/AAAAAAAAAc8/RvKibGhUqW0/s1600-h/Ireland+June+2009+020.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349048893834931234" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YKq66jZmKZE/SjujoOM6LCI/AAAAAAAAAc8/RvKibGhUqW0/s320/Ireland+June+2009+020.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Our town<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YKq66jZmKZE/SjujnZNzRDI/AAAAAAAAAck/Fvugx4n5lHs/s1600-h/Ireland+June+2009+010.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349048879611593778" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YKq66jZmKZE/SjujnZNzRDI/AAAAAAAAAck/Fvugx4n5lHs/s320/Ireland+June+2009+010.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Inch, Ireland<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YKq66jZmKZE/SjujnzRva5I/AAAAAAAAAc0/IAUbDDnE2nQ/s1600-h/Ireland+June+2009+019.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349048886607440786" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YKq66jZmKZE/SjujnzRva5I/AAAAAAAAAc0/IAUbDDnE2nQ/s320/Ireland+June+2009+019.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Maggie and I<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YKq66jZmKZE/SjujocnjNPI/AAAAAAAAAdE/hLV8ihqMPws/s1600-h/Ireland+June+2009+030.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349048897704768754" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YKq66jZmKZE/SjujocnjNPI/AAAAAAAAAdE/hLV8ihqMPws/s320/Ireland+June+2009+030.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Me on the coast of Ireland<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YKq66jZmKZE/SjunT5XXPbI/AAAAAAAAAdM/O-iN2l4GAGk/s1600-h/Ireland+June+2009+087.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349052942690762162" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YKq66jZmKZE/SjunT5XXPbI/AAAAAAAAAdM/O-iN2l4GAGk/s320/Ireland+June+2009+087.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Maggie and I at Ladies View point<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YKq66jZmKZE/SjunUDw5elI/AAAAAAAAAdU/ixr53X6_upw/s1600-h/Ireland+June+2009+099.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349052945482218066" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YKq66jZmKZE/SjunUDw5elI/AAAAAAAAAdU/ixr53X6_upw/s320/Ireland+June+2009+099.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />On the border of Kerry and Cork Ireland<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YKq66jZmKZE/SjunVIaqN6I/AAAAAAAAAds/S1ahKm_KC9Y/s1600-h/Ireland+June+2009+070.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349052963910989730" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YKq66jZmKZE/SjunVIaqN6I/AAAAAAAAAds/S1ahKm_KC9Y/s320/Ireland+June+2009+070.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Driving the circle of Kerry<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YKq66jZmKZE/SjunUqsnoiI/AAAAAAAAAdc/wyg__gJTlRQ/s1600-h/Ireland+June+2009+096.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349052955933254178" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YKq66jZmKZE/SjunUqsnoiI/AAAAAAAAAdc/wyg__gJTlRQ/s320/Ireland+June+2009+096.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Too funny!!<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YKq66jZmKZE/SjunU78-yGI/AAAAAAAAAdk/w9NZSj7lE_w/s1600-h/Ireland+June+2009+139.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349052960565282914" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YKq66jZmKZE/SjunU78-yGI/AAAAAAAAAdk/w9NZSj7lE_w/s320/Ireland+June+2009+139.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />I have tons more but these are some of the highlights of the trips.Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17229438053395481518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1677443471672665873.post-85846462440976665952009-06-19T09:51:00.009-04:002009-06-19T11:15:22.612-04:00May (wow I got behind again)So just in case you are wondering I am doing well. Have had a few weeks between now and the last time I wrote that were pretty heavy work wise. It seems to be feast or famine in the amounts of patients we have. Some days we have all locals whom have bogus chest pain (aka indigestion) that the our doctors here like to put in the ICU. Other days we are busting at the seams with vents, burns, blast wounds etc. I have learned to roll with it and am enjoying myself here learning new things each and every day!<br /><div><div><div><div><br /><div>Enough talk here are some pictures from the month of May;</div><div></div><br /><div>Milan Italy<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YKq66jZmKZE/SjucMz9BVDI/AAAAAAAAAcU/SNMWtSB-gPo/s1600-h/Italy+May+2009+121.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349040726351107122" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YKq66jZmKZE/SjucMz9BVDI/AAAAAAAAAcU/SNMWtSB-gPo/s320/Italy+May+2009+121.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div>Me on Como Lake<br /><br /></div><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YKq66jZmKZE/SjucL9xJ_3I/AAAAAAAAAb8/x1Pu564HKjg/s1600-h/Italy+May+2009+117.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349040711805828978" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YKq66jZmKZE/SjucL9xJ_3I/AAAAAAAAAb8/x1Pu564HKjg/s320/Italy+May+2009+117.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div>Rhonda and I at Lake Como, Italy</div><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YKq66jZmKZE/SjueQb75pDI/AAAAAAAAAcc/K2YU-9QnTMc/s1600-h/Italy+May+2009+009.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349042987646690354" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YKq66jZmKZE/SjueQb75pDI/AAAAAAAAAcc/K2YU-9QnTMc/s320/Italy+May+2009+009.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YKq66jZmKZE/SjucMr2Am9I/AAAAAAAAAcM/SNRE1_B2tRE/s1600-h/Italy+May+2009+048.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349040724174216146" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YKq66jZmKZE/SjucMr2Am9I/AAAAAAAAAcM/SNRE1_B2tRE/s320/Italy+May+2009+048.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><br /><br /><div>A view of Milan from the top of the Domo<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YKq66jZmKZE/SjucMZ0gaGI/AAAAAAAAAcE/nmW8JpaxQcU/s1600-h/Italy+May+2009+044.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349040719336073314" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YKq66jZmKZE/SjucMZ0gaGI/AAAAAAAAAcE/nmW8JpaxQcU/s320/Italy+May+2009+044.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Rhoda and I on top of the Domo</div><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YKq66jZmKZE/SjucL9xJ_3I/AAAAAAAAAb8/x1Pu564HKjg/s1600-h/Italy+May+2009+117.JPG"></a></div><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YKq66jZmKZE/SjucLgccQTI/AAAAAAAAAb0/ZK83yrBMAy4/s1600-h/Italy+May+2009+011.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349040703934316850" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YKq66jZmKZE/SjucLgccQTI/AAAAAAAAAb0/ZK83yrBMAy4/s320/Italy+May+2009+011.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div>Milian city center</div><br /><br /><div></div><br />Pray all is well with y'all!!!<br /><div></div></div></div></div></div>Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17229438053395481518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1677443471672665873.post-52840467062270791412009-04-24T07:00:00.003-04:002009-04-24T07:07:31.989-04:00Visitors<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YKq66jZmKZE/SfGcdI15_1I/AAAAAAAAAbs/PYpOHrS7w18/s1600-h/18Apr09+Pix+077.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328211858559729490" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YKq66jZmKZE/SfGcdI15_1I/AAAAAAAAAbs/PYpOHrS7w18/s320/18Apr09+Pix+077.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />We had some senators visit the Unit the other day and so we (just a few of us) took a picture with the Illinois Senator who happened to have had a son who was injured down range and was taken treated at LRMC.

On a side note I accidentally erased every picture in Holland and Amsterdam till we were at the tulip fields, yes I was very sad!!! When my dad left yesterday he took the chip to see if he could recover the files ie the wonderful pictures I had taken.
