More About The Blogger
Karin currently lives in the U.S. with her husband and two children. She works two jobs as a staff RN. She writes about her experiences as a way to distress from her challenging but rewarding jobs. If there's something new she's learning, she will post it here to share with co-nurses.
When not busy with work and house chores, she often disappears with her laptop blogging in Blogspot, Cafemom, and My Space, or doing her dreaded budgeting with Quicken, or selling and buying (more fun) in Ebay. Fitness (and South Beach Living) also keeps her busy, as well as playing in the local parks with her children. Her other joys in life include tent camping, short hikes,long-driving to different states, and bowling.
