Because Sometimes You Just Have To...BRAG!

There are times when it's just necessary to go on and on about someone....like our sweet, hardworking, beautiful Granddaughter, Driana.   She graduated tonight from her LPN nursing course.  It was a hard year of study, class, clinical work, tests and emotions.  No breaks, no time to breathe but Driana did it and also rocked it!  Valedictorian too!  All while holding down a full-time job as a STNA at a nursing home.  She landed another job at Hospice of Wooster. (She's going to work both places)  She is the first new graduate they have ever hired.  Most specialty areas want experienced nurses.  However, working for the last 4 years at an nursing home and doing hospice care there probably helped in getting hired.  Being smart as a whip and having a super caring heart for those in the last stages of life was also in her favor.   Come January she's going into the RN course and will continue on her journey of healthcare.  I know she will be a great asset to the profession and we couldn't be prouder of her.  It seems like yesterday our first grandchild was born...can't believe she's all grown up! (Insert sniffling, wet eyes!)

Hi, YaYa!

Congratulations to your wonderful grandkiddo Driana! I am sure Driana's career choice was inspired at least in part by your many years of dedicated service in the healthcare industry. What a wise and smart young woman she is! All the duties and responsibilities she was willing to assume in recent years have no doubt been a springboard that led to her being hired. I am amazed that Driana will work two jobs, as a State Tested Nursing Assistant in a nursing home and also in hospice care. The world needs more people like your Driana and I can see how proud you are of her. Once again congratulations to your lovely, hardworking and caring granddaughter on these marvelous achievements. Enjoy your weekend, dear friend YaYa!

In this case, bragging is compulsory. You have every rights to brag your granddaughter.
Congratulations to Driana. She will make an excellent nurse and her future looks bright.

I hope your weather isn't hot and muggy like here. Have a great weekend.

Congratulations.
Once upon a time it was said that teaching is one of the noblest profession. I would say, so is nursing.
